Promises

"Words, words and expressions, all these confessions of where we stand. How I see you and you see me, dedications of symmetry. Together, we will be forever."---"Promises", Fugazi

Does God really have a side to take in anything? Or is it that God tends to take the side of a believer, no matter what you believe. And it seems that we all believe in something, even if we believe in nothing.

As we build the rhetoric for our own belief, so does everyone else, each of us really speaking a different individual language. Communication is possible but never a pure transmission of ideas.

I was always told as a child that God could see and know everything i ever did. This scare tactic now says to me "none other than ones self could really know everything and anything about one self. One was there and experienced it all. Memories do fade, but who really bears the guilt for supposed evils? One does suffer the guilt.

If we no longer believed in God, would our guilt rise and allow us to simply exist? Perhaps we could more easily see that we can be better with each other. It's hard work, but we can. Also, we might see that we can never be perfect because this is just how our existence works. One cannot step on the soil with out disturbing a soul, but One can be aware so that when a change is needed, possible and helpful, One is comfortable with it. All that said, noone can really always be comfortable with it. The cattle need grass. The fox needs small animals. The chickens need seed. We need eggs. We need each other.
