If God has a plan for us all,
then the wise make God the boss.
If the wages of sin is death,
and God gave us free will,
as we were created in his image,
to accomplish his plan as we
see fit, then i am forced
to conclude God doesn't pay
very well. He is not a
particularly good employer.
Working conditions are terrible.
In point of fact, God is not
our employer, because he doesn't
pay at all. Is he waiting for
bitcoins to catch on?
Or is he more into
spiritual slavery?
Is it wrong to question this?
It would seem self-evident
that if God gave us free will,
surely he expected us to use
it, even to question him.
If not, maybe God didn't
think it through first.
If our rewards are in the afterlife,
how can we be sure we will
get paid? No one has
verified any of this.
Is that what faith is, God?
Crossing our fingers?
Depending on you, the God
with a plan, the same plan
that takes from us all that
we love and cherish, just
as he gives us those same
things?
God is an Indian-giver.
We are each his image,
and we broke all of our
treaties with Indians.
Excuse me, Native Americans.
i don't want to offend
anybody,
least of all God.

not meant as blasphemy, although some may see it that way. That is your right.
I am much more of a New Ager, personally. I don't think we are his image nearly as much as we are god in the first place. We just don't remember.
