When walking our dogs every morning we pass a huge tree that I can imagine some people would think to be 'Godly' or Godlike.
Its bark has a skin with a texture like our own and in the top two huge bee hives thrive. You feel the tree can scratch the stars.
Yes, Godlike.
Thinking about Gods and Religions.
I can handle if Christians say JC turned water into wine, you know I say beer normally but this article is deadly serious, and also opened the
Dead sea for the Israelite slaves to escape the Pharaoh,that the Hindus have their blue coloured elephants, Eskimos had their Moon, American Indians read the Heavenly signs in the sand, Freud believed everything was in ones mind and his mate Carl Jung looked under his bed for ghosts.
Yes, I can tolerate all these rituals. I, as a person who doesn't belong to any group or religion also have my rituals inherited by a short but powerful Catholic education. I cross myself 3 times before I go to sleep ! And don't let me forget or I have to do it by the next time I have a pee.I was baptised and cicumsided to boot.
I do have problems with the Latter Day Saints, or Mormons, who say JC walked bare footed across the USA and slept in Salt Lake City, or was he the son of the Holy Father who founded that strange place with Rambler cars every where.

I do have a little smirky feeling when I am told JC's mother was still a virgin after giving birth. But I will leave all that aside. I will not enter that part of the Christian faith.
No, I cannot. Truly, to believe is also to imagine, so what does one imagine with a woman who gave birth and is a virgin ? Poor Joseph.
So what do I believe ? I'd rather say; So what do I feel.
Like that tree has something, something I feel but cannot see and don't want to explain.
No, that is too easy.
It isn't I don't want to, it is I haven't got a clue. Keine Anung, mein Freunden. That's German for NO IDEA, my friends.
I know my life will come to an end. I'll stop breathing and others will take over my body.
Bury, stuff, embalm or burn it.
As far as I am concerned they can feed me to the dogs but the RSPCA would call that animal cruelty. Would our brotherly cannibals have a go ?
