This is a letter, from God to man: It says, Hey there. How’s it going? Long time, no see. I know I haven’t been around much lately, But it didn’t seem like you wanted me to be. The last time I sent down a message, you nailed it to the cross, so I figure, I’d just leave you to it. And let you be your own boss. But I’ve been keeping an eye on you, I have, and it’s amazing how you’ve grown. All your technological advances and the problems you’ve overgrown. And all the beautiful art you’ve created with such grace and such finess but I must admit there are a few things , I’m afraid, have impressed me less. So I’m writing to apologise for all the horrors committed in my name, although it was never what I intended, I feel I should take my share of the blame. A lot of good I tried to do was corrupted when orgnanised religion got into full swing, what I thought were quite clear messages were taken to unusual extremes. My teachings where taken out of context to meet the agendas of others, interpretations were taken in different ways and hidden meanings “discovered” Religion became a tool for the weak to control the strong, with all these new morals and ethics survival of the fittest was gone. No longer could the biggest man simply take what ever he needed, because damnation was the price if certain rules were not heeded. Some of the deeds committed in my name make me wonder where I went wrong, back at the start when I “created” all of this, the foundations seemed so strong. See all the elements were already here, long befor I began, I just kind of put them all together, I didn’t really think out a long term plan. I made the sun an appropriate distance and laid the stars across the sky, so you could navigate this globe or watch a sunrise. I covered the earth with plants and fruits, some for sustenance some for beauty, and made the sun shine and clouds rain, so their maintenance wasn’t your duty. I tried to give each creature its own attributes but without making them enveloped, I gave you all your own space to grow and, in your own way, space to develop. I didn’t know that such development would cuase rifts and jealousy, cause you to war against each other and leave marks on this planet indelibly. You see, I wasn’t the creator, I was more the curator of nature, and I want to set things straight with homosexuals right now: I DON’T HATE YA! I was a simple being that happend to be the first to yield such powers, but I just laid the ground, it was you that built the towers. It was you that invented bombs and the fear that comes with them, and it was you that invented money, and the corrupt economic systems. You invented terms like “Just war” and terms like “Friendly Fire”, and it was you that didn’t know when to stop digging deeper and when stop building higher. It was you that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth, and it was you that even saw these problems coming but accredited them little worth. It was you that used my teachings for your own personal gain*,* and it was you that committed such tragedies, even if they were in my name. So I apologise for any mistakes I made and for when my words were misconstrued, but this apology is to mother nature BECAUSE I CREATED YOU! _______________________________________________________________________ How true is this? This is an interesting “God’s” perspective on how things are going in the world. Yet it is a bit hypocritical seeing as how writer of this song thinks that God wants people not to take his words out of context, yet the writer thinks he knows what god thinks, which would make him fall under the people that he is writing about. Aside from that, I found the lyrics very interesting and I do agree that people use God’s name out of context. When most people hear using God’s name as an excuse for immoral acts, they think of Muslims. Muslim’s aren’t the only ones who are guilty of this, there has been many corrupt acts in La Vatican, ranging from, money laundering, child molestation, and even murder. All in the name of God of course… I personally think that is some deeper meaning inside the Bible and Qu’ran(Islamic equivalent of the Bible)and the many other religious books. Obviously the world wasn’t made 5000 years ago, what it means in my eyes is the world that we know today started 5000 years ago. The world that we know today means the start of the modern world. 5000 years ago is when people started living in city’s and making suburbs, this is the first time metals were being used wide scale because they were finally understood and people also settled down because they found out that agricultural farming was much more productive and profitable then pastoral and herdal farming. Notice the key word in that last sentence? Profitable. 5000 years ago is the first time in history that you could actually make money. Before money it was more of a barter system, like, I’ll give you five chickens for that cow. Once money came into play is when the world as we know it started existing, because all that matters in society in this world is money. Well I got very off topic there, my apologies. I could go all day on analyzing the Bible an other religious stories but it’s getting late and I still have home work to do. So I’m out.
I just got a cast today, it’s green. At first I was told I would play lacrosse with it, then the docter rethought about it and said I can’t play. So tommrow I’m just going to go to the game and see if I can get away with playing. I have two paths with this cast:
Option A: Have the cast on for 12 months, to see if the bone starts healing, and if it doesn’t heal get surgery on it.
Option B: Once the surgeon gets back from his vacation, have surgery and only be in the cast for six weeks.
Fuck Option A, I would prefer not to be in a cast all summer, so surgery it is.
I know that it has been spring for awhile now, but I couldn’t accept untill yesterday. Yesterday was so nice and while driving around I finally found my band for this season, Spring. My band for Winter was, Our Last Night, now it’s Sing it Loud for Spring. I love them so much.
This week has been interesting. I had my wisdom teeth removed, I broke one of the hardest bones to break in the human body in half, and this is the first 4/20 I haven’t smoked on since I was a freshmen. This vacation is much needed, I just hope that I can have a bonfire because my parents may not allow it at their house becasue it has been very dry and the fire danger level is that highest it has been in years. I’m going to milk this vacation for all it’s worth, wich I did a poor job of today, seeing as how I’m sitting at home alone typing a blog. Ray Allen=My favorite man ever after tonight P.S. Listen to, Wilderness Crew’s, “I’m Coming Home.”
