Glad You Quoted Sally Field

Hi Margi,

The subject line in your last message had my mind going until I read the message. Of course I like you, what isn't there to like?

Sounds like you and I have similar thoughts about God. Anymore, I think of the movie "Conan the Barbarian". Conan is saying a prayer, and asking God for help. At the end he says "and if you're not going to help me, at least stay out of my way". I've thought about that. It has more to do with religion than God, but when I'm making progress in a part of my life it seems like these thoughts come up that I'm doing something wrong. The religion that is engrained about right/wrong, and guilt.

I don't have this stuff down, but it's there. I deal with it the best I can. Maybe when I get those guilty thoughts I should just say "get behind me Satan". And then if God has a problem, he can come talk to me. I'm perfectly willing to listen to anything he has to say. I'm not willing to listen to some "religious" person trying to get me to put a nickel in the pot to support their egotistic induced concept of heaven on earth.

By the way, did you see the movie "Kingdom of Heaven"? They had some great lines in there about God, religion, and guilt. Everyone was up to their neck in sin, but none of that was addressed. The one on guilt:
The Hero: "God has abandoned me". The reply: "Really? I had not heard that." Anyway, it's a Guy movie.

I've been having problems focusing lately. Just as an aside, have you tried any of the body cleanses to purge the toxins?

Take care,

Arnold
