Holy

Some people find God at the end of a line of coke.

A friend once told me that and he is absolutely right. People find fulfillment in all types of places, some better than others, but random nonetheless. God can be found anywhere because He is everywhere, right?

And yet people will argue against this. They'll tell you about how you should be spiritual, trying to control your religion as if they have some magical method of achieving salvation. People will argue with you, trying to change your mind, thinking they can make it so that you agree with them. Conversion through conversation, if you will.

But I don't think human beings are capable of teaching religion. I don't think human beings are meant to teach it. Human beings are meant to seek out God. But how can one, in all our lack of understanding, amid all the confusion, think that we have found God? How can a human being honestly think that he, or she, has come to understand God?

That is foolery.

We fight wars, we kill, we murder, because we think we found God and the rest of the world hasn't. Isn't that the biggest joke you've ever heard? Is that what Heaven is all about?
