Sunday's Sermon - the truth about god

I could add a couple of deep quotes by noted agnostics of our time... unfortunately that takes a lot of effort to read. And obviously, we're not big readers, or else one of the most famous books in the world might have a little bit more meaning to us Agnos. That's right, Mr. Potter isn't happy about that.

So instead we're going to start in on a series of lectures that will probably continue until I get bored of them. Patience is a particular virtue of agnostics. If you can wait until death to meet your maker (or lack thereof) you can certainly handle a few minutes a day of a deluded person's ramblings.

Speaking of a maker... do we have one?

I'm serious, anybody?

No, really, somebody has got to have this figured out by now.

Alright... I'll forgive you this time, but only because of the mind-numbing variety of options.

- Either there is a god, we know his name, we've got the license number to his spaceship and we're waiting for the carpool.

- Or maybe there is a god, but we don't want to presume we know him. The average celebrity is annoyed with obsessive fans, can you imagine how the big G feels? Everybody always wanting to talk to him and get things from him... he probably just wants a day to relax without all the paparazzi.

- Then again, for all we know, god is a figment of our imagination. Well, not ours, but many people's that's for sure.


So, do tell - how did you know that there is/is not a holy supreme being monitoring our every move and debating with him/herself in a sadistic fashion how best to punish us for our minor indiscretions?
