God created love; Humans created marriage

"I am trying to create marriage between a man and a women right now and I am faa-reeaking out!" cried a booming voice through the clouds. Jesus shielded his eyes from the sun.

"W-What's the problem father?" Jesus asked as he stepped up on a rock in the desert, as though hoping to bring himself a bit closer to the heavens.

"Well, I'm supposed to create marriage between a man and a woman for humankind by tomorrow but none of the one million four hundred forty six thousand two hundred and eight streamers are ready, the centerpieces for all the weddings are all wrong -- they went with fuschia instead of burgandy, even though I specifically told them burgandy-- and only half the cakes are ready! This is a DISASTER!" The ground rumbled. Jesus held on to a desert rock beside him as he waited for the ground to quell.

"Dad, have faith in yourself. Everything will be fine."

"I know," said God, with a sigh that brought a warm breeze across Jesus' facial hair.
"Don't be a Godzilla. We don't want a repeat of the Noah fiasco. Tell you what, leave all of the preparations to the humans."

"The humans? They can't do anything right. They can't even walk two steps without letting the devil into their hearts."

"Exactly. And that's something they'll have to overcome in their weddings! If they can't overcome that for love, then their love isn't strong and they don't deserve marriage!"

God laughed heartily. Thunderclouds shooting bolts appeared briefly as he guffawed, and then vanished. "Sometimes it takes the innocence of a child."

"Dad, I'm twenty-nine..!"

"Well I'm infinity, little boy!" God chuckled again and a lightning bolt struck down nearby. Jesus winced.

"Careful, Dad! Oh, and really quick -- what about same sex marriage? My friend Profethius and his boyfriend Amfthius wanted me to ask..."

"I like your idea, son, let's leave that to the humans. It'll be another test, a great test, to see how far their capacity for love for their fellow man goes..."

Jesus kicked a grain of sand. "It's going to cause some problems..."

"Again, their love for each other will have to overcome that!" God said.

"And Dad, real quick before you go, what about interspecial marriage? Can humans marry their mule?"

Thunderclouds formed again and bolts shout out of the sky as God's explosive laughter filled the heavens. "Good one, son. That's why I keep you around!"

Jesus winked.

We didn't evolve from monkeys, we ARE monkeys

Yeah you're right, we didn't evolve from animals. We just happen to be hairy, smelly, pus-filled mammals. We just happen to howl when in pain, bark at each other, and walk around in herds. We just happen to smell like a zoo if we don't run water over our bodies daily. We just happen to attack those who threaten our territory, or look different than us. We just happen to prey on smaller animals. But no, we sure didn't evolve from animals.

You say God created us in His image. What in the hell would that say about God?

The Sun of God

God is like the Sun. it illuminates everything around us on Earth; it shows Truth; it comes at us with blazing glory; and yet somehow it is yet received as granted by us much of the time. and even though the Sun casts in pure color all of the Truths we Humans commit, they still remain gaseously invisible to those who choose not to look.

we cannot even run from it, lest we hole ourselves in caves and homes! we cannot even look at it with our own eyes! if we did they would probably burn! so instead, we believe that it's there. we can even deduce it's there because of Science. (as my mother said, evolution sounds like a pretty intelligent design to me.)

we even see what Life is like when our Sun leaves us. all becomes immediately dark and frigid. the distant cold black engrosses us, and reminds us that its vast nothingness would deaden us in a freezing heartbeat; without anyone for light years away noticing. so we give thanks to the Sun, that we gravitate around it, that it keeps us brilliantly warm.

God made the Sun. let us allow his most amazing creation to remind us of the power of love towards all, daily.
