That is not what God does

so get past it. To me that was about the dumbest thing you
can ever say to a person..

God does not want me on my knees praying to him.. NOR YOU..

Prayer Is Foolishness


God is not a person, God is a presence. God is
lived not seen..

When you have a time alone (prayer) you are not having a time
alone with anyone.....But your very own presence.
There is no thou and I, there is only "I."

Praying is not just asking it is demanding, Give me this,
give me that.. Prayer is for your own selfish needs. Of
I WANT this.. And you use the excuse "well so and so
needs this or that" You haven't a clue as to what another
person needs.. The mask you wear is subtle, and only covers
up what you "think" is for the better of another.

Kneeling down and praying in churches or synagogues, bowing
before images is foolishness. You do this because others
do it.. And if you don't do it, you feel left out. Fear
sets in.. Instead of standing in the presence of "I" you
are being dictated to.. A follower of the robe wearers.

It takes courage to stand away from the crowd.. You feel
that so many do it so it must be the "right" thing to do.
You just recycle all the things you see and hear..

It is a religious act.. A crowd act.. And one that is
most foolish. A follower of the crowd instead of a
leader..

This is of my own understanding.. You don't have to agree.
It is just something you can think upon. Maybe say,
"I have never heard it that way before."
