When God laughs

“The most important scientific revolutions all include, as their only common feature, the dethronement of human arrogance from one pedestal after another of previous convictions about our centrality in the cosmos.” -Stephen Jay Gould, paleontologist, biologist, author (1941-2002)

AE himself said “who ever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.”

It is funny, here are people trying to deny what we could have and all want at the same time that we are all grasping what we think is it with every breath that we take like as if it will be the last while we hope that it is the first of a new beginning.

Let me go over that again.

People want – each individual people wants to be the center of the universe and spends every waking hour trying to prove that they are; AT the same time trying to deny that we are. We, they say, are just another cog in the wheel of evolution. Coming from nowhere going to nowhere spinning wheel round and round. ‘We will not have this God to rule over us !’

What we want is Personal Peace Prosperity. Not so much personal peace and prosperity as Personal – I want my way. I want no one to hassle me. I want to be able to do and have what I want when I want it.

What most have is phony. And they know it.

What we really want is Life. Purpose, excitement and the freedom to enjoy it.

God promised us just that. No rules. No financial debt. Lots to enjoy. A reason to do it. And a wild ride getting there if you want.

Our own arrogance will never get us where we want to go. The gods do laugh – the Bible even says “God will laugh at their calamity” !
