The Jesus Question

What if? How often do those words come into our lives - what if? BUT what if we consider Jesus without religion? What if the world is a living entity - something that preserves itself over millenia by natural preservation - earthquakes, floods, tsunami's, meteor showers and the like. What if God is literally in every living cell from the heated core of the earth to the expanding universe - what if we are no more than beings that have choice that only has two constants - change and evolution! Why is there a split between science and religion? I do not and cannot separate the two - Genesis in the very first chapters tells the story of evolution - light/dark, sea/land, fish/birds, .... eventually man! Seven days? In God's life seven days could be a billion years, besdies - God is in everything and everything is God - so surely that means every cell from the nucleus to the mitochondria are God! It also means that God is not what we think God is - which brings me to the idea of worshipping in buildings and giving money to the church - Jesus despised the moneylenders - money never played a role with Jesus (we are born naked and alone, we leave naked and alone) - and the church - I am sure it is written somewhere that a church is when two or more people come together in His name - so no grand, stained glass,expensive buildings there then - besides has everyone who professes to be Christian forgotten that Jesus was born in a stable - humility springs to mind! Cast away the trappings (good word for them) of wealth - true wealth is found in inner peace and contentment (very hard to come by in these days). I used to scoff at conspiracy theorists, now I am not so sure - I think there is a conspiracy, but one we all are part of without even realising it - we are self destructive, we buy into the brands, the celebrity, the belief that fame is everything - the greatest fool is one who is fooling him/herself - humility is such a forgotten word, courtesy, consideration ... old fashioned? How can they be? I don't fit the norm, I never have. I have no desire to now, this doesn't mean I am totally content, I still live in the West, with all it represents, but I despair of it. Even the very church that I deny, the church I see falling apart, stumbling blindly in the darkness, with only politics leading it, money driven to survive, betraying the people who still faithfully follow - but GOD I do not deny - I have fallen st far by the wayside, He should by rights deny me, but when I call ... there He is, always, to guide me, pick me up, console me, help me, support me. NEVER in all the years that I have believed, has He failed me ... though I regularly fail HIM! Perhaps I am blessed, I believe we all are, we just deny it so much we fail to see His hand when it plays.
