Rick Reed is explaining theological matters to his Nephew, Jacob.
Let's get this "GOD" thing over with, once and for all, Nephew!
"Oh, GODâ€쳌!!!
THAT word... "GOD" really messes up a lot of people.
THAT word... "GOD" really, really HAS messed UP a lot of people, or
Rather, THEY messed themselves up over... THAT WORD.
This 3-letter word sometimes turns people off immediately...
but did you EVER hear of a dyslectic who didn't believe in doG?
(So there!)
(Hey, I know these people)
Just the IDEA OF, or the simple mention of, anything that smacks
in any way of RELIGION can put some people into backflipping comas
toes on end.
I think, I think that is because so many people have a certain picture
in their head of a GOD that is:
FIERCE.....
ANGRY....
VENGEFUL...
an ancient old fart of a man with an ego-maniacal hippy freak
beard grown to his toes sitting on Cloud Nine... or is it Mars... and
always more than willing and ready to punish any bad boy or girl with
a happy or unhappy whack and mow them down like Cybill Shepherd.
Sound familiar? Huh?
(I know. I Know.)
The GOD That I KNOW, I KNOW is nothing like the one they might have
told YOU about in Sunday School.... so far.... from what I have come to
know as He has allowed.
My GOD is a GOD of LOVE... and LOVE is all.
My GOD lives INSIDE of me, and speaks THROUGH me and works THROUGH me
as well.
Guess what?
He speaks through you and works through you as well, once you say
YES. (He'll take over from there. Try it, you'll like it.")
MY GOD... does NOT deliver pain... unless or until you beg, beg, beg, beg,
beg, beg, beg, beg, and beg for it.
He shovels it off in loads, when it's due you, my love.
And He shovels off tons of fun LOVE when it is due you, my love.
So... if THAT word ALONE ... GOD, gets to you where you don't live,
well... just try another word... just don't castrate him Like Cybill
did, and turn him into a woman, cause... Uh, Oh.
(Oh, boy, is SHE gonna get it, get it?)
Here are some other words that work:
SPIRIT,
Love,
Oneness,
(Well, even...
MICKY MOST...
If it works for you, as everyone has a riot to get off, right?)
Whatever it takes to bake your cake and shake up your make-up, Jacob.
HE isn't obsessed with that WORD.
He says of himself, to be specific:
"I YAM... WHAT I YAM!!!â€쳌
(Oh, NO! That was POPEYE!)
GOD said “I AM what I AM".
And we are too, when we say that, and claim our image and likeness of
GOD, in which we were created... BY GOD... (For heaven's sake!!!!).
(WHO Directed THIS PICTURE?)
Let's face it, those Jerry Falwells, and his clown clones SHOVE GOD
down your throat. And doom you if you don't do it their way.
JESUS did not do that. He simply said
"FOLLOW ME".... (Thank God, huh?)
AND I guess it was your own tough luck if you didn't.
Falwell and friends already make you believe you are in hell before
you ever get close.
(There’s a hell of a hell lecture coming soon.)
Well, it is summertime in the city and high time to restore the
beauty and dignity to the name of LOVE... however you choose to name
it......
Just don't name God... Cybill SHEPHERD... she's already got a patent on
that God."
As for MYSELF... and I speak only for myself now.... I choose to name
him and call on him thus....
"For CRYING OUT LOUD, Oh GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY, Jesus Holy
Christ "... and with feeeeeling... cause I've been that, done there.
GOD also says we are ALL Gods..... so GOD BLESS our Holy names...
GOD gifted you with the ability to dream any dream.
HE also gifted you with the POWER to make ANY dream come true.
Never give UP on ANY dream; I never do!
