The real world gives a different testimony, even if so many people in the world are lost in fantasy. I’m sure many would dismiss the above link as simply being crazy, but I think it says more than that. It is like the God written about by Neale Donald Walsch in Conversations with God, where God waxes on confidently about God being everywhere, in everything. The Inaugural Address has the same confidence, though it also has an amazingly large number of points, some turning on a play on words or other novel ways to bring two ideas together. Both are a familiar craziness, as well as seeing oneself as the center of the dream.<BR/><BR/>Whether man or God claims omnipotence, any omnipotent being would be judged for making the Earth such a place of suffering. The real God has a valid excuse. He didn’t do it. He can’t fix it alone. What He can do, He is doing out of love, even for the craziest of people. For anyone who can’t understand his or her craziness, at least there are medications to give them a break from being so crazy, as many breaks as they need to see the difference.<BR/><BR/>I believe the craziest person can find God. Maybe it helps to have been crazy to believe in such a hidden being, but it also helps to calm down from that craziness. However one reaches it, there is a turnstile to God, where we confront our powerless and say something like, “God help me!” Anyone who doesn’t know that place knows nothing about the real God, whether they’re crazy or not.DavidDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10416775522057787866noreply@blogger.com
