Perhaps he has forgotten the command to undo what he has done too!
ReplyDeleteThis is a scary thought.
ReplyDeleteI agree. And this would leave the task of ending the misery on this Earth to our own hands.
ReplyDeleteReligion exists simply because people cannot accept this. If it's for nothing, then so be it.
ReplyDeleteThat would explain the Platypus then.
ReplyDeleteA cheap shot at the platypus that left me grinning. :)

ReplyDeleteMay be it was just an unintended event, aka a mistake...
ReplyDeleteThen I say we follow his example!

ReplyDelete"God had no purpose in creating the world. He was just having fun." .... Yeah we are. :)
ReplyDeleteArt is not a mistake. And it can be dreadful if you experience it fully. True art offers moments of joy, but just moments. The idea of God as an Artist, and not as I was taught "Infinite Omniscience," gives me hope.
ReplyDeleteMarty, I like this aphorism. The idea that God was just having fun when he created the world made me think of a child tossing marbles around (planets!). In many ways, it’s actually a positive image. It made me smile!
