An Attempted Home Invasion, and Yahweh's Mercy...

It has been cloudy over the Washington, DC area for the past few days.

I live in New Carrollton, Maryland in an apartment complex close to the New Carrollton metro station. I live with my brother, and his girlfriend stays with us most of the time.

We have 2 locks on our front door, a bolt-lock, and lock in the door knob (as do most apartments in the area). Our door knob has been broken for about 2 or 3 weeks - it locks fine, but the door won't close unless we twist the door knob and then close the door, since the middle piece (which extends from the door into the wall) is stuck outward and wont go in unless the door knob is twisted. Unfortunately, that means we have to lock the door knob from the outside (if we feel like it).

I left out for work yesterday morning, and only locked the bolt-lock, since I didn't feel like being bothered with the door knob. My brother's girlfriend left out, and did the same thing (she was the last to leave). It is typical for my brother and his girlfriend to just lock the door knob, but sometimes they do lock the top lock as well - but she locked the top lock yesterday, and left the door knob unlocked.

So I get home from work and twisted the door knob, and saw that it was unlocked - which was fine. I stuck my key in the bolt-lock and had a hell of a time trying to get it open. I looked closely at the door and the lock and saw that someone had tried to break in to my apartment. They used something, maybe a crowbar, to try to pry open the bolt lock - but they couldn't get through.

They tried and failed. I was able to get in my apartment fine. My brother was a bit heated - but I was fine.

My brother told me that his girlfriend was just going to lock the door knob, but said she had a feeling to lock the top lock instead, so that's what she did. My brother talked to the police and they told him that people have been going through the apartment complex during work hours and prying into people's homes because they only lock the door knob and never the top lock (since locking the door knob is so easy - you just turn the lock and close the door).

Now - this part I find most amazing because it is Yahweh's mercy. My brother's girlfriend does not have a key to our apartment. But because she was the last one to leave out in the morning, and because the door knob recently started acting crazy, my brother gave her his key. Normally she would leave out the apartment and just lock the door knob, close the door, and be on her way. She never locked the bolt-lock (because she doesn't have her own key). But because the door knob is broken, my brother gave her his key - and she locked the top lock. As a result, those people were not able to break into my home.

Yahweh spared my home. It's another example of how Goodness and Mercy follow me to this very day.

Horns and Drums

I was in a large building, standing quietly in a room. Some people came to me and told me that the building was on fire and that I needed to leave. I immediately left out of the room and left out of the building, but I did not see any fire, nor did I smell any smoke. However, I knew for certain that the building was on fire, but the flames had not yet risen. I got far away from that building.

The firefighters arrived; they came in 2 groups to fight the fire. The first group approached the burning building, and they blew horns. Instead of using water to settle the fire, they used horns to play a soothing sound to put the fire out. The sound was like a thousand French horns, and very loud. Even though the sound was nice, it did not put out the fire, nor did I think it would - but those firefighters were convinced their horns would put the fire out. Seeing that the horns could not put out the fire, the second group of firefighters approached the fire. Instead of using water to settle the fire, they used drums to play a rhythmic beat. The sound was that of a thousand drumsticks lightly but speedily tapping the heads of drums, and then picking up a beautiful rhythm. As I walked farther away from the building, I saw a friend of mine who I used to be very close with; she was among the drummers. I approached her, but she did not see me. So I stopped walking and touched her arm as she began to pass; she turned and looked in my eyes with a face that appeared as if she did not really want to go to the burning building (which still hadn't yet been enveloped with flames), but still felt compelled to do so. We did not say anything to each other. She continued walking and was the last person in the line of drummers who approached the burning building.

I woke up from this dream very early in the morning, while it was still dark, and I still heard the drums playing. I had this dream on either March 25th or March 26th 2006, which was after I began seeking Yahweh, but before I began seeing the messengers in the skies above me.
With regards to those people playing the horns and drums, I did not see any horns or drums - the sounds just came from them in their attempt to put the fire out (which I also did not see - since I kept walking further and further away from the building).

Now...

I have no doubt that the burning building is the Washington, DC area. This is one of the places where Yahweh will visit when He treads the clouds above the planet. He will show violence to this generation - and He will not hide his burning anger from DC and from this untrustworthy generation. The people on this planet are used to being without God - they are used to seeing God do nothing, neither good nor evil, nor do they expect to see God do anything. They have equally said in their hearts, "There is no God." So when I walk the streets and tell people about God's acts, they consider it of no mind - this becomes even more true when I tell people to "Go and seek God" and "If you seek Him, He will let you find Him" - but even here, no one pays me any mind.

They have religion, which resonates with their mind. People hear and see how fucked-up their lives are, but a blissful heaven is only a death away. Religion resonates with people because they are not used to seeing good on the Earth, especially with death at the forefront of all things horrible - and they need that religious kick to say to them, "Everything will be OK". You see, music is the same in this regards. Harmony and melody are meant to resonate with you - otherwise, you wouldn't care to listen to it. The talk of heaven and your loving god resonates with you - even though you have never seen heaven nor have you seen your loving god do anything loving.

Just as religion is meant to move your emotions and resonate with you, so is music. So God made me hear, what I considered, the beautiful sounds of horns and drums. But those horns and drums were nothing more than religious babble which resonated in those people's minds. Instead of using water to put out the fire, which will be the simple common sense thing to do, they will use horns and drums. Water being the act of looking for God, seeking God's character by asking "Who are you?", inquiring of God and watching what He does. Horns and drums being ten-thousand beliefs, half of which tell God who God is supposed to be and what God is supposed to do; and the other half telling people to act like idiotic-slaves without using common sense or their own judgment.

This is no different than when you suffer from your terrible sicknesses or run from those things which threaten your life; instead of looking for the living God, you keep praying to that invisible tree-stump and actually expect it to get up and do something. You're playing music to put out a fire - this is stupid. And generations upon generations of people tapping drums to put out fires just isn't enough for you not to do the stupid shit yourself. You will do better to just use common sense when it comes to God - a little logic will steer you in the right direction.

There is no logical use for listening to the beautiful sounds of horns and drums, nor is there anything logical about having religious beliefs - because beliefs are not truths until proven... and it's the truth that is most important. But people here never seek the truth. Beautiful sounds will not end your troubles - nor do they calm God or make Him any less bitter-acting toward you. People have their holy books and ministers with them - and are used to having books and ministers with them. People do not have God with them, certainly not the living God, and they are used to not having God with them. Otherwise, they would be telling me things I too have received from above, and mercy would follow them wherever they happen to go, just as it follows me. And their friends would see the messengers flying over their head just as my friends see them flying over mine.

Now, Yahweh is not religious, nor is He a musician who aims to emotionally move you from side to side with tunes. He is logical, and intelligent, and enigmatic. His ways are simple, so that even a young child could understand them. He is the Mighty God who gives unending compassion, safety and mercy to those who seek Him, and gives everyone else their recompense. He is the enemy of oppressors and the wealthy, He sees no beauty in those who deceive and kill the innocent. This is Yahweh's universe, and He has many children who love Him and do good, and He judges us all fairly and equally. He is God of only those who are alive and who look for His face - there is no dead person who knows Him. Yahweh is living, and all of His children are alive - those who love Him are alive, none of them are dead - this is His gift to those who look for Him and trust Him. Yahweh protects all my bones and assures that no terrible disease will come near me. For the rest of my life in this place, I will watch every horrible thing happen to people, I will watch every disease overtake them, I will watch bombs drop on them, I will watch bullets pierce them, I will watch their own bodies torment them, I will watch them drown in floods, I will watch them cause one another pain, I will watch them being oppressed, I will watch them thirst and starve, and I will watch all of their bones be shattered - but Yahweh keeps me safe from it all, because I looked for Him.

When Yahweh approaches this planet, His messengers will come to me and tell me to leave the DC area. I will probably do the same to others - but will not press them to come with me because this is a Godless generation. I will probably go to the mountains of Martinsburg, West Virginia - which is where my grandfather lived before he died - unless I'm told otherwise by the messengers. I will probably never come back to the DC area again after Yahweh visits.

Even though it is obvious to me that the horns and drums are religious beliefs and those men and women were preachers of those beliefs, there are some points to the dream I don't yet understand. This will simply require me to think more about it. For instance, why were those religious people approaching the building they knew was troubled? Are the horns one set of major (or common) religious beliefs and the drums another? Who is my friend that I touched, and why did she continue to walk toward the burning building and play her drum?

Everything that I know about God comes from God. I watch what He does and He inspires my thoughts. Dreams from God are very infrequent for me nowadays - perhaps I could even say they are nonexistent. The messengers speak to me openly with their lights, and they are my guardians who protect me and will raise me up when Yahweh allows the evil men to take me down. I see God speaking to me - His song is with me in the night. Yahweh has made me my own living testimony, and will make me a living testimony to others.

Last year in July, my wisdom tooth in the lower left part of my mouth was in pain. The pain became so intense that I could barely even eat. I told my boss, my mother, and my friends that I would have to have a dentist remove my tooth. I went on Youtube to see if there were videos of people having their wisdom teeth removed, and the process it took. One common method involved cutting the gums, drilling holes in the tooth, and taking it out piece by piece. Another common method involved taking a hammer and chisel to the tooth in somewhat of a barbaric manner, and pulling out the pieces. Both methods made me nervous. But the pain was so intense that it would wake me up several times at night. So I went outside one night and asked Yahweh if He could help me. I looked to my God, to see if He would send His messengers to help me. I knew that Yahweh would protect me from harm, but I never knew what He could do with a painful tooth - nor did I ever think about it before that time.
I explained to Yahweh that I did not want to go through the surgery, and that I would wait a little while for Him, because the pain was so unbearable. No messengers flew across the sky to tell me that God would help me. So I just went inside and eventually went to sleep. The next day, or maybe 2 days later, the pain was significantly less, and it didn't hurt bad to eat. This continued for the next 2 or 3 days. After these 2 or 3 days, there was no more pain at all. So I stuck my finger in the back of my mouth to see if it would hurt then; not only did I not feel any pain, but when I rubbed my gums I could feel that my tooth had changed position.

When this happened, I only pondered that God had something to do with it. But as I thought about things over time, I never heard of anyone's wisdom teeth moving in such a way that their pain completely stopped. Even more, if my teeth had moved on their own so quickly, I would have felt the pain even more intensely. So I am convinced that the night after I spoke with Yahweh, or the next night, the messengers who are skilled in human biology, put me in a deep sleep and twisted my tooth to a position where they knew the pain would quickly subside - this being done while they flew high above me. This is one of the reasons why I say Yahweh sends compassion and mercy to follow me. It is one of many reasons why I say I am not Godless, but this world is. I am at comfort to this very day - my distress did not rise up twice to God, because He made a complete end of my trouble.

A Response from Yahweh...

I was outside early this morning, about 5 a.m., while it was still dark, and I received a response from Yahweh. His messengers flew across the sky in a well-lit spacecraft and confirmed that this is an untrustworthy and Godless generation.

People serve their idols, but do not realize nor understand that their gods are idols. All gods on this planet do exactly the same thing - and it is what you do that matters - to hell with what you say if it contradicts with what you do. All gods in this place do exactly the same thing, and that is nothing at all. Allah heals as much as Jesus, Krishna loves just as much as Buddha - all of these gods are imaginary beings who never move from off the tree stump from which they were carved. So the fact that your god never responds to anything you say or do should not be surprising - in fact, if your god did finally get up and do the stump dance, then you would be utterly shocked... But it never ever does happen, not even after thousands and thousands of years.

Yahweh, however, is alive. And I know that He is alive by His actions - by the fact that He moves and He roars and He surrounds me with kindness and mercy. And I can go outside at night and look upward to see His messengers flying above me. But this is a Godless generation, says Yahweh God.

Someone whose writings were included with Isaiah's emphasized this point -- "Present your case," Yahweh says. "Bring forward your strong arguments," the King of Jacob says. Let them bring forth and declare to us what is going to take place; as for the former events, declare what they were, that we may consider them and know their outcome. Or announce to us what is coming; declare the things that are going to come afterward, that we may know that you are gods; indeed, do good or evil, that we may anxiously look about us and fear together. Behold, you are of no account, and your work amounts to nothing; he who chooses you is an abomination." ~ Isaiah 41:21-24

A Message to Yahweh...

Someone I almost considered a close friend deceived me. He was at peace in my home, and always found rest when he was with me. But he took my compassion, which flows from me like a raging river, and used it against me for his own gain. I let him lead me because I put just a little trust in him, and he openly rejected the good in me by deceiving me for gain. It is as You told me, "Who should you trust completely?" and "You can't control what a person does, nor can you control what a person does with the good you give them."

No one does good in this place, nor does anyone try to do good, nor does anyone seek the truth. They then turn to their children and teach them evil and lies, so that they grow and do the same - even for generations. They let their emotions lead them to do corrupt things to one another, themselves, and their children. Generations of evil and lies, which become generations of horror and death. Isn't it true that You give people exactly what they deserve?

Yahweh, You let every evil and terrible thing happen to people on this planet. You do not save these people's lives nor do You protect them from harm, and last night You gave me a clear and personal example as to why it is You do what You do. Even the most kind and upright of mankind are like the prickly spines of a cactus which grows in a desert. I gracefully embrace them, and they stick me, because it is their desire to do so, and because it benefits them. Please, point out the true friend who would never deceive for gain - where is he? - does she even exist?

When You come to this place in this generation, You will not come in the beauty and light that I see everyday, but in bitter darkness, and last night You again helped me see why. It is because of Your anger that Washington, DC will see explosions and smoke, and New York City will see an earthquake and storm and violent whirlwinds. Both places will be covered in darkness, with thick dark clouds, and the sun will not be permitted to shine until after Your anger subsides.

Who Looks for Goodness?

There is no one in this place who looks for God, and no one who does good. Yahweh has been the same for century after century, millennium after millennium, and His word remains the same, "If you seek Me, I will let you find Me." But no one seeks after God, they create their own gods either with their hands or with their minds, and they worship them, and have no problem with such senseless acts. They can see that their gods do nothing, and yet, they still believe they will move. There is so much that I could share concerning Yahweh, but I have no one to share it with, they wouldn't believe me because they have never seen compassion from God.

No one looks for God because they need their own solid explanation as to why every evil thing is allowed to happen to them - and they need to believe that tomorrow will be a hell of a lot better than today, even if they die. So God has seen it right to show Himself to them, and they will see Him standing in bitterness, and they won't understand that all that happens to them is of their own doing. People's emotions drive these actions, it drives religion and oppression and inequality - they do not use their common sense in the places where it truly matters.

I say to people, "Go and look for God. You will find Him", but they ignore me, because they think it is easier and right for them to believe in their god (who does nothing) than to seek the truth. Most people are OK with being ignorant of the many things that matter to life, because they feel it is better for them to be smart in their religious beliefs. People do not use their common sense when it comes to God; they feel that if they trash their idol and go looking for the true God, they will find nothing. I can say that if they truly look for God and find nothing, then there is no god who cares for the truth - but if they do find God, then it will become obvious to them that God cares for the truth, and it will be known to them that God is Yahweh, and they will see His power and know His strength. They will speak the word of God as prophets and say, "God loves the truth. Yahweh reveals Himself to those who look for Him." But who in this place proclaims such things and means them?

People turn to idols and worship them. They say to their carved god, "You are my maker" and insult the One they never looked for. They sing their many songs to their gods to uplift their spirits in the hopes that their gods comfort them; but their gods do not comfort them, nor do they save and protect them. I have told people that I have been warned a few times by God because of my actions, and I've been warned because of danger - but those people respond with their eyes, "God does not warn, nor save, nor protect". And I say to them, "If you seek God, you will see these things for yourself", then they snatch the conversation from me and end it. I'm telling you all that everything that happens to you is what you deserve, your struggles and pain, and the fact that you perish so easily is because of the living God Yahweh. People are always encouraging one another by saying, "The light is at the end of the tunnel", but I ask, "How is there light at the end of the tunnel if the tunnel leads to death? How can you walk down a dark tunnel and be truly happy knowing that your grave digger is standing at the other end? He may even come to meet you in the middle - it certainly isn't uncommon in this place."

Yahweh has said to me, "They have their tunnels and they have their lights, but I have smoke, fire, and earthquakes to crush their tunnels. I have whirlwinds of dust and water to put out their lights. And when they come running out of their tunnels, there will be thunder and lightning to trouble them and their children."

I have seen the compassion and mercy of Yahweh with my own eyes, and I know His kindness. It would be good if people knew the kindness of God in this place. It would be good if the knowledge of God flooded the Earth - finally taking the world out of its enforced exile, but I don't trust that people will do right, nor does Yahweh think that man will look for goodness - which is why He has told me that He will come to the Earth in this generation and surround His shining beauty with thick dark clouds and cover His soft voice with loud terrible noise. Maybe then, people will finally admit and say, "God has not been kind to us" and will eagerly look for Him.

"I changed my mind"...

On the CNN website today, there's this post about a guy who is an ex-Christian, named Bart Ehrman. He is currently a textual critic of the biblical New Testament - as is the right thing to do if you are Christian and actually care about considering what is true. Really, why not criticize these things? Will Jesus toss you in the flames because you love seeking the truth? Will the Father cause you to spit up fireballs in hell because you love to research history?

Ehrman said to CNN concerning his leaving Christianity, "I changed my mind", and is now agnostic.

You see, this is a problem with idols, and is why all Gods in this place are idols.

This man boldly proclaimed a loving, all-knowing and all-powerful God, and all it took was for him to "change his mind", and God ceased to exist. Since he had been a Christian since his youth, he was certainly one of those folks (like many of you) who said, "God heals", and "God is good", and "God does this and that" - but at the end of it all, he realized that his all-powerful God was nothing short of his own imagination. He saw with his eyes that God did nothing, and that who he worshipped was an idol - since idols do nothing outside of what people believe they do ('forming your God with your own hands'). He also realized that he could never ask Jesus anything worthwhile like, "Will you heal my mother?" and actually get an answer. Besides, if she survived, then "praise God, the Lord healed her"; if she died, then "the Lord's ways are mysterious", and "everything happens for a reason."

He left Christianity because he could not reconcile in his mind how God can be loving and compassionate, and yet pay no heed to such a corrupt planet. It is typical of Christians to view a long pole, where Christianity sits on one end, and Agnosticism/Atheism sits on the other. And in the case of Ehrman, he left Christianity and slid down the pole to Agnosticism - since it's what made the most sense to him.

He makes the mistake of all Christians and all those who leave Christianity to embrace Agnosticism/Atheism, and that is to either view God as all-loving and all-powerful, or to have no view of God at all. There really is no sense in this.

So I have a question for the religious, agnostics, and atheists alike: Let's say you were all to assume there is a God. Put aside any philosophies, dogmas, and beliefs (besides the existence of God). Look at the universe, and this planet, and the people on this planet, and tell me, what do these things tell you about God?

Get a pen, and write up a list. "Loving and Compassionate" should not be there. "All-Powerful and All-Knowing" should not be there. "A Savior" should definitely not be there. Perhaps your list would say things like, "Bitter", "Angry", "Weirdly intelligent", "Strange", "Careless", "Heartless", or "Merciless". But I know, this is unacceptable to you. You have made up in your mind to either believe in the loving all-knowing bearded grandfather type God who pats children on the head, or to believe in no God at all. There is no sense in this, and perhaps it will take some other generation of people for it to finally click that there is no sense in this.

Now, there is a God, regardless of what goes around in your head or how emotional you become when the right beat comes across the church drums. And that list I created above is exactly how He shows Himself to you - bitter, angry, heartless, and merciless - isn't this what you see? Have you found the man that escaped sickness and the grave because of God? Where is the woman whose body slipped out of death's hands because of God's kindness? Are they among this generation? It is certainly because of God that you and your children suffer so tremendously and perish so easily. How horrible it will be for man when God actually visits the Earth. If God clearly shows a bitter and merciless character from a great distance, how terrible and destructive should we imagine God up close? The Earth will certainly piss and shit all over itself, and man will simply have to endure its violent stench.

I can see that all you (and your ancestors) have ever known is the unloving side of God, so the question that should come from your mouth is, "Why is God so merciless toward me and this place?" To answer that question, you would need to look at yourself and mankind altogether. Where would God find rest with you and others on this planet? Everyone tells lies about Him, and no one cares for the truth He would offer them from His own lips; People are totally self-destructive (because of how they use their minds) and often show no love with their actions, for generations; most importantly, no one seeks the face of God in curiosity and with a desire to know the truth. It is for these reasons that He covered the planet with a dark impenetrable veil, and it is for these reasons that God has been unloving and totally devastating to you.

Name Calling...

It has been the custom on this planet for people to claim another person's God as their own. People say that Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, Amos, and Micah were prophets, and consider the God of those prophet's as their own. Even though people realize that they don't speak and teach what those prophets spoke and taught, they still say that they have the same God as those prophets.

Here are a few examples of what I mean:
Isaiah 8:11-13 "Yahweh spoke to me with mighty power and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying, "You are not to say, 'It is a conspiracy!' In regard to all that this people call a conspiracy, and you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it."
Jeremiah 8:8 "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of Yahweh is with us'? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes has made it into a lie."
Hosea 10:13 "You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped injustice, you have eaten the fruit of lies because you have trusted in your way, in your numerous warriors."
Amos 5:21-24 "Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them; and I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings. Take away from Me the noise of your songs; I will not even listen to the sound of your harps. But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."
Micah 6: "With what shall I come to Yahweh and bow myself before the God on high? Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings, with yearling calves? Does Yahweh take delight in thousands of rams, in ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my rebellious acts, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does Yahweh require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"

You quote these things, and repeat these sayings for your own heart's content, but they truly are meaningless words to you. There is much that you fear and are in dread of; you call the 'Torah' the word of God; you trust in the salvation of your military; you waste time by singing a thousand songs of praise instead of working for peace and justice in the Earth; and you do not seek God with simplicity. The reasons being that you are religious and have no living God walking ahead of you - and since you say "there is a God", then know and understand that your God exists solely in your mind and in the minds of your children.

You say to yourself, "My God is Jehovah" or "My God is Yahweh", yet you do not know why those Hebrew prophets spoke and taught like they did. You say, "Their God is my God", yet you never say the things they said nor do the things they did. The prophets said, "Yahweh is my refuge" and "Yahweh is my salvation", and they said such things for many obvious reasons - but you have no reasons to say such things because there is no salvation for you in life other than what your police offices, doctors, and military provide for you. It was Hosea who said that people like you have no salvation from God, and you never turn your head upward to seek it - and yet still, you say, "The Lord is my savior" with ignorant repetition.

If I were to call a tree stump "Jesus", you would disagree with me and say, "That is not Jesus". If I bowed before a chubby man carved in stone and said, "Thank you Jesus", you would contend with me. You call your God "Yahweh" or "Jehovah" and say that your God is the God who spoke to those prophets, but you are incorrect, because you neither say nor do as they said and did - nor does Yahweh their God interact with you as He did with them. You are simply name calling for your own heart's content, and for no other reason.

I Made Fire...

A few weekends ago, my friend and I sat down to smoke a cigarette. The lighter I had was one of those free ones you get with a pack of cigarettes, and the flame was very low. So my friend took it apart, did something, and the fire was great. I asked him to show me how he did it. So he took the lighter apart, showed me what to adjust inside, then attempted to put the lighter back together. But as he attempted to put it back together, the lighter pretty much fell apart in his hands, and he was unable to fix it. This past weekend, I used a very small lighter that was sitting in my car. This lighter ran out of butane very quickly (since a couple of people used it).

So I've tried and tried and tried again to make a spark with the lighter my friend broke, but the spark wheel wouldn't turn. And I tried and tried and tried again to get the small lighter to make a flame, but it simply threw out sparks.

Then I thought about things. I depressed the lever on the broken lighter and sniffed it to see if I could smell any butane, and I could. So I held the lever down for a few seconds to let more butane come out. Then I threw on it some sparks from the small lighter, and like a dream come true, there was fire! Fire appeared on the heads of both lighters!

The point of this is that I've been going about things all the wrong way. I've tried too hard to make fire out of broken things thinking that they would work as they should if I just kept trying the same pointless shit over and over. But neither lighter worked as they should - even if I tried the same thing a thousand times. And if I had used my intelligence in the matter from the beginning, understanding that a broken lighter is a broken lighter, rather than try and try and try to simply make a broken lighter work, I probably could have had an effective fire long ago.

Googling God...

I've noticed the 'new' Google feature where it shows the number of times a search item has been googled. Whenever I've googled something, at least 10,000 other people have googled the exact same thing. It immediately let me know that my thoughts and questions are the thoughts and questions of thousands and millions of other people. Even when I went apartment searching for a specific apartment complex in a specific city, there were thousands of other similar searches every time.

So I figured that maybe I could Google God, and Google those who know God or those who are at least seeking God, and I always come up with nothing. 0 similar searches is what is always returned - and it amazes me that no one seeks God. God made sure that no one on this planet would see 'His' face or know anything about 'His' character unless they seek Him - and I suppose Google proves it. It reminds me that God's intelligence is amazing and incomparable - I even say to this day that God is not a magician, God is a scientist.

Now, none of this explains why people believe what they do about God - because you could simply go by what you see and say, "People live and die, and no God(s) does anything about it all" - but it isn't what people say. And since people don't state the obvious, no one goes further and says to the sky, "Whoever you are, if you are there, why don't you do anything about it all." This is seeking God, this is questioning God - and no one does it, and I suppose Google proves it. Who has looked up and asked, "Who are you?" - those people certainly see the messengers of Yahweh in those well lit spacecrafts who act on Yahweh's behalf, they may even see the liars above who deceive.

People insist on telling God who God is - and saying a whole bunch of bullshit about God helping them pay their debts or being one with God, or whatever else people feel the emotional need to say about the God they have never seen. It is obvious when they open their eyes that there is nothing but bitterness all around them. Sure, people have their good days, but at the end of it all is the grave - and God has never been found in death. If you don't believe me, you could simply ask God - it is, after all, how I found out myself. You could stretch out your hand to an oppressor, and the oppressor will chop it off, and God will do nothing to stop them or save you. So instead of people saying, "I don't know who you are, but will you help us?" they say instead, "It was God's will that my hand was chopped off" or "Everything happens for a reason" or whatever else they can come up with to explain away God's absence in the matter. And since it's philosophy and religion that people want, it's what God gives them over to.

"Who", "What", "Where", "When", "Why", and "How" are wonderful things to say to God, even "Perhaps you can" and "Perhaps you will" are just as beautiful - and if you see a truthful response back above, I suppose that would make you a true prophet.

I've recently moved from out of Beltsville, MD and reminisced the years that those moving stars appeared for me the last few nights of my stay. I'm in New Carrollton, MD now and am quite curious as to what the next few years will bring - as I'm not sure what I'll request of Yahweh for this place, since no one seems to really give a shit. I am confident in a few things I will be doing, but these are things for people to see when they happen, not read beforehand like everything else.
