Two thousand years ago, God sent
his only son to earth. He was here for about..ohh... say 30 years
and then....gone.
Wow, were those people ever
lucky! They got to meet Jesus - well actually, due to the primitive
transportation of those days, I bet only people in about a 100 mile
radius of where he(it) resided actually got to get a glimpse, a revelation, a
touch, a moment.
Wow (I love that word), let me
just check my calender of the origin of man....oh my...now this is
sad...
Modern man, or better yet, God's
chosen species, has been roaming this planet for nearly 140,000 years now!
(Kane, Kevin, Mammology, Mcgraw-Hill Higher Education Inc.,
1999) Yes, man was here in the Peistocene
Period, prior to the last Ice Age!
Geez guys...Adam and Eve are
some old folk!
Well, let me calculate the % of
time that God gave us a "little-more" than blind-faith to go on
with:
Lets see
30yrs/140,000yrs = 0.02% of the time that this planet has been inhabited by
"ME&YOU" has God blessed us with a physical entity.
So, just to inform the
ignorant "hard-cores" out there that have switched on
their selective hearing-aid and disregarded what I have just said (and
are getting geered-up to type up an evil reply), lets just
recap:
Apparently, God, who was fed up with our behaviour and sent
his son to "set-us-straight", decided to
allow countless generations (140,000 B.C to 30 B.C) live their out their
"just-as-human" lives as us with nothing more than a hot ball in the
sky to go on. Then, we get to that couple of fortunate
generations that lived during Jesus' visit (30 B.C. to 0 B.C.).
They got the works.
Now, its been 2000 years later.
Nothing. Our riduiculously large brains have allowed us to
remember him and that is still obvious in our society - 'crying' paintings, more
churches than homeless, and Clinton's beautiful closing line, " ....and God
Bless America".
Is God insensitive to other
generations? Was Mary just to beautiful to pass by? Maybe our "silicon
girls" will be able to sway him to return soon. Sorry folks, if God
is at all predictable, he won't be showing up for another 138,000 years -
its only fair.
Lets just hope by that
time, we have something more than organized religion to show him in honour of
our faith. It seems that out de-sensitized culture needs more than
just a book and structure with four walls and a cross on top to
maintain the faith.
Well, I out... I got to try to
find a way to keep kickin' until 140,000 A.D. I wanna peak!
Wow..what a question for those
'blind faith'ers" : If the pope (catholics only) announced that
God was rocketing to earth tomorrow and would be arriving on his front lawn
at 6pm, how many of you would actually make the trip to the Vatican? The
pope speaks the word of God and has claimed to have talked to God. To
not believe in him is to not believe in God!
