Why god created Eternity.

I know. I know. I know. There are all kinds of Christians. All kinds of Muslims, too. Zealots. Fanatics. And sensible sounding ones, too. At least, they sound sensible to me. The zealots and fanatics don't. But that's just me. Same goes for politicians. Obama sounds far more sensible than do the conservative Republicans. They sound more like zealots and fanatics. Of course, conservative Republicans and conservative Christians think I'm bound for hell. And maybe I am. But I'll take that chance. Years and years ago I decided to abandon the Christian faith. To abandon organized religion, for that matter. Because I'm uncomfortable with it. With the bull shit. Because that's what it is. Mostly bull shit. Same goes for Republican politics. Pure bull shit. I reject it. Almost totally. Instead, I'm a socialist and communist sympathizer. And when it comes to spiritual matters, I'm a free-thinker. A freelance monotheist. I decide what I'm gonna believe. I don't leave it to theologians or the pope or some guru. I think for myself. And I believe what I wanna believe. Often, without any absolute proof. Though I'm perfectly capable of making a logical and reasoned case in defense of my opinions. Oh, another thing. I'm not worried about going to hell. Because I don't believe in hell. That's just more bull shit spewing from conservative Christians. They ain't gonna scare me. Because my god is a loving god. Doesn't believe in hell. And is too kind and understanding to even consider creating such a place. My god saves everyone. My god is amazingly tolerant. A really good guy. He believes that in the end, everyone sees the light. And gets it right. Just takes time. That's why he created Eternity. Because that's how long it's gonna take. Forever. Thank god. --Jim Broede
