I’m God and I Need a Rest
God here. Even I’m exhausted by everything that’s been happening on your planet the past couple of years so I’m taking a little breather for a couple of weeks, so try not to get into too much trouble while I’m gone, humanity. Just remember Lucifer is still watching and I will get a full report from him when I’m back–and you know how he is! So watch it, or there will be Hell to pay
Kisses to all!
A Thought for the World
God is not a being separate from the human. If you do not and cannot see God in the face of the hungry, the thirsty, the homeless, the sick and the imprisoned, then you cannot see God at all. God is not an external being. God is present in the faces of the least of these—our brothers and our sisters.
—John Shelby Spong
Hypocripsy of the Evangelists
And here’s the problem with some of those who claim to be true believers, because they will twist themselves into a religious knot where they will justify anything—if it goes with their politics.

America was NOT built to be a Christian Nation
Despite what many current “leaders” and evangelists seem to think, America is a land of religious freedom:
Gentlemen:
While I received with much satisfaction your address replete with expressions of esteem, I rejoice in the opportunity of assuring you that I shall always retain grateful remembrance of the cordial welcome I experienced on my visit to Newport from all classes of citizens.
The reflection on the days of difficulty and danger which are past is rendered the more sweet from a consciousness that they are succeeded by days of uncommon prosperity and security.
If we have wisdom to make the best use of the advantages with which we are now favored, we cannot fail, under the just administration of a good government, to become a great and happy people.
The citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy—a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship.
It is now no more that toleration is spoken of as if it were the indulgence of one class of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights, for, happily, the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.
It would be inconsistent with the frankness of my character not to avow that I am pleased with your favorable opinion of my administration and fervent wishes for my felicity.
May the children of the stock of Abraham who dwell in this land continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other inhabitants—while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree and there shall be none to make him afraid.
May the father of all mercies scatter light, and not darkness, upon our paths, and make us all in our several vocations useful here, and in His own due time and way everlastingly happy.

Missing Books from the Bible
In researching ”I’m God and You’re Not”, I came across and read a number of the books mentioned in this article. They are fascinating reading, and give you an excellent insight into the various religious ideas and stories that were circulating in both the Jewish and Catholic religious communities of the times.

Walls
Not for the first time, the human race seems to be in a frenzy of building walls. We have the physical barriers, such as that which separates Israel from the Palestinians in the West Bank, the Saudi Arabia barriers with Yemen, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait, etc., the various Russian barriers with Norway, Finland, China, Poland, etc., Turkey and Syria, Turkey and Greece both on the mainland ands on Cyprus, Spain and Morocco, Egypt and the Gaza Strip, India and Pakistan, Loyalist-Republican areas of Northern Ireland (UK), Malaysia and Thailand, South Africa with Zimbabwe and Mozambique, and so many more.
Meanwhile, the President of the United States wanted to build a 2,000 mile wall along the US-Mexico border. Where differences in political beliefs were once accepted and could be debated rationally, we are becoming societies that build virtual walls against those differences, so that we look at each other as if the devil incarnate. Spend any amount of time on a political site on Facebook and you will read comments so full of hate and insults that you are forced to wonder when actual war will break out between the sides.
More and more walls. Walls around your neighborhood, walls around your city, walls around your country. Walls around other people, and ultimately walls around yourself.
A wall is fear. And fear, whether justified or not, can be an understood response. Certainly, we fear the criminals in our society, but walls kept out the innocent as well. We fear “the stranger”: beliefs, culture, ways of dressing, languages other than our own become forces from which we need to protect ourselves and our children–for we fear that their coming is a threat to our national identities and our way of life. We focus on the few that are a threat at the expense of the vast. majority who only want to live, to breathe, to be free. Where we once had witch-hunts because we feared what we believed to be supernatural forces out to do us evil, we continue these hunts even today by just substituting a different “evil” : the Black, the Hispanic, the Jew, the Atheist, the Muslim, the homosexual, and on and on.
I do not want to be a wall.
