I might still die before most of us here
In an excruciating way
God is Good
No maybe or because
A brute fact
And all of reality, all beliefs, no matter what, going back far enough, eventually goes back to brute facts
Big bang? Before then? Brute fact
Good and evil exist, they are the goal posts, but we are human and limited and quite varied, so the goal posts can seem to move or seem farther or closer together
Within this framework, reality is a community of people, not all of whom are human. Bear people have bear energy and bear needs and wants. Same with Beaver. Raven. And so forth
Same with those we would call other Deities. People. Powers. Spirits
We all will die
That time will come
So what are we going to do when we are alive?
Where we are born seems to be due to chance. Same thing with our parents. And so on
Not everywhere on Earth is the same. Different areas have different resources, cultures, peoples and so forth
So God is Good. The ultimate against which we can compare other things. And the goal that we can asymptotically look up to. The goal that helps with purpose and meaning
I know it can be difficult to maintain. In these crazy times. I have lost my mom to cancer. One of my best friends to a senseless car crash. My Oma to cancer. My other Oma to old age. My dearest to cancer. Her beloved cat died with me. One of my roomies.
And still God is good.
Trust in God.
Feed the poor
Clothe the naked
Heal the sick
And be obedient to God
That is all it takes to be a Christian
Distilled down to its fundaments
And always, no matter what, return with Love
Remember we are here having a human experience
Existence is a gift
Life is good
Ignore the idiot box trying to tell you what to think and what to feel
Be who you are
Do what you do
We are here for such a short time
Amen
