God Is Dog (ma) Spelled Backwards

The first sin wasn't eating an apple. It

was curiosity. The first dogma was:

"Thou shalt not eat the fruit of that tree

over there." Of, course Adam and Eve 

were going to...they didn't know from sin,

the way a kid doesn't know not to put its

finger in a light socket. Surprise! So, they

were curious and had to leave the Garden.

I guess God hadn't created forgiveness yet.

If He had just forgiven them, humanity 

wouldn't be in the mess it's in.

So then, everyone that followed were 

curious, and discovered a lot of stuff, good

and bad. Then God saw that things were

getting out of control, so, He interjected a

little more dogma. He sent Moses to get the

Ten Commandments. Some of the 

Commandments made common sense...

don't kill, don't steal, and don't adulterate

anything, for examples. 

"Thou shalt not have other gods before Me"

is a curious one. He didn't say there were 

no other gods, nor that people shouldn't 

have them. He was just saying He was 

Numero Uno on the God chart. The pagans

must have had cooler gods, because the

"before me" was dropped pretty quick for

practical considerations.

Even so, the Ten Commandments didn't

solve all the problems, so, God sent Jesus 

down to straighten things out. 

"Love thy neighbor as thyself." Boy, they 

hadn't heard that in a looong time, and the

body count had become enormous by then.

Jesus didn't teach dogma...he just tried to

change the direction of peoples' minds a bit.

"God is love"  and such things. But humans 

were too jaded by then, so, they crucified him

on the principle of being a general nuisance.

That might have made him a martyr, and would

have, if Paul hadn't been there, seen his 

opportunity to create a cult called "the Church",

something Christ surely never intended. Then

the chalice began to overflow with dogma.

I don't know where the "Second Coming" came

from...did Jesus, after the resurrection and 

before the ascension say "I'll be back." like

Arnold? Might as well could have. All the 

fragments of the original Jesus ideal, including

Muslims, are pretty sure if he does come back,

he's going to be pretty pissed off.

So, God failed from the get go. You can't look 

at it now and say the creation was a success.

Or, you can just blame humanity and then blame

God for the concept of forgiveness.

Maybe God gave up...now every day, for Him,

is Sunday. Maybe God's thinking now is that

humanity should sink or swim based on it's own

intelligence...we can see how that's going. Thanks

for nothing, God.
