Emails About God
Ok, I'm down with the G-O-D. So let's be clear about my position before we continue...
Reflecting on the multitude of forwarded emails I received last year about God, I cannot help but come to a conclusion that these emails actually orignate from a group of atheists.
It almosts cheapens the experience of believing in something larger than ourselves to think about it while staring at a shitty powerpoint presentation full of Hallmark images and bad animation. And the Yanni in the background is unsettling...didn't he just get out of prison for beating his wife senseless?
And there's usually a phrase at the bottom, just beneath the seabirds flying around the mountain. Something like "have faith in the true meaning of the love of friendship" or "believe in the hope of love" or some shit like that. What the hell does that even mean? Am I supposed to believe, hope, or love? And what exactly am I to focus on, can I pick two out of three?
And by the end you're really confused, because the final three images were so pixelated that you couldn't tell if they contained a lighthouse and a sunset or a pig being raped by a robot.
I guess that when you've finally ended the presentation, you actually might have a stronger sense of God. As in, "Thank God that shit is over".
