Everything's possible with words.
I like being a villain. Disliked by some. Maybe because it comes so easy. One can become disliked. Merely by uttering a few words. That's all it takes. Life is a stage. And people crave a villain. Someone to dislike. And so I give them what they want. Otherwise, they'd be bored. I give them words. That they can dissect. To mean villainy. It's much easier than growing a moustache. Because it takes time. To grow. But words. They spring. Instantly. And arouse the passions. Yes, I'm in love with words. Because they allow me to do everything. To stir villainy. But love, too. I've learned that everything is possible...with words. --Jim Broede

Maybe I'm a devil, of sorts. Or a devil's advocate. More than a villain. I think that in many ways a devil is good. Certainly, not all bad. As I understand it, the devil is supposed to have challenged god. Yes, the devil (lucifer) was once one of god's trusted lieutenants. But I wonder if god forgives everyone. And allows for a reconciliation. Maybe it's possible god and lucifer could still become good friends again. And work and live in harmony. In god's realm, aren't all things possible? --Jim Broede
I wonder to what extent god allows dissent. --Jim
Does god surround himself with angels? And if so, what influence do they have on him? Do they give him advice? Actually, what do angels do? --Jim
How does one become an angel? Do angels have mothers and fathers? --Jim
If there are a whole bunch of angels, does god have a favorite angel? --Jim
Does each angel have a special skill or assignment? --Jim
Do angels live forever? Or is it they just live outside of time, like god? --Jim
The answers are all in one book.
I suspect there are many, many answers. Elusive answers. And that's the way it is meant to be. We were meant to be creative. Somewhat like god himself. We have been given the opportunity to create our own realities. Our own world, in a sense. And as a society, we humans can do much better. If only we become more creative, more imaginative, more loving. We can transcend. We can ascend. --Jim Broede
We have been given myths. And they are myths. For a purpose. To find meaning in life. --Jim Broede
