Well, if the fundies are correct this is the last blog Blue will write. It's not that I'm about to be raptured but if the rapture as sponsored by the Koch Brothers happens well then I won't have much to say. See all of heaven will be laden with these reich wingers and then with any bad (read sane) republicans left down here, we can settle our differences over a trip to Starbucks. So color ole blue as someone who is looking forward to it. It's not that I believe what is being said I mean it says in the Bible (pp) that man will not know when Christ will return. It makes sense I mean if/when Christ comes and he lets His followers know "I'm coming, look busy" and if he gives the date how much you want to bet some will be bastards up to about three days before and change their song at the pivotal point. But, hey the fundies need to believe they control everything but you gotta figure that if/when Christ returns, He will have a say in the agenda.
As I say it's not that I don't believe like many of my fellow liberals, I DO believe. I choose to think though that my God is more compassionate than this nutty control freak that hates His creation, that created everyone different so they better act the same, I mean what truly separates Christianity, radical Islam and orthodox Judaism from a cult? Is God some pathetic, needy Marshall Applewhite that needs control so much that He creates something merely to destroy it? Shouldn't God be the one that comforts me when I have questions? When we hear that there is a down factor in our life, shouldn't God be our comfort as opposed to some giant parental figure in the sky wagging a finger saying "if you listened to Me this wouldn't happen here's My punishment".
As I stated last week I am a recovering alcoholic, I do not normally bring this up and I have twice in a week I apologize but it is germane to the blog at this point. I was at one of my first AA meetings and a person turned to me and asked if I had a relationship with God, I was struggling and I said something along the line of it doesn't matter I'm going to Hell anyway. He said that it wasn't going to help me if I didn't have a higher power. then he said these magic words to me "If your God isn't working for you, fire that motherfucker and get a new one". From that point on almost instantly I realized. at least my God, doesn't want me or my brethren to suffer. So if Heaven truly is a Reich wingers wet dream then please at the rapture, keep me here. I will forage for food or I will suffer for my liberal beliefs in Hell. If I'm lucky I meet FDR and Bob LaFollette.
