Is there a place in the universe where your vision of life has met with greater success than on Earth?

Is it a place where one need never fear others? Where all can live in peace? Where violence of any sort has no place?

Is it a place where hatred, greed, envy, anger, jealousy no longer exist?

Is illness, physical and mental, eradicated?

Do love and kindness abound?

When was the last time you gazed upon your creation? Did you give up long ago or do you still hope?

Do you see Earth as a success? Why or why not?

We need to talk about a lot of things, starting with the afterlife and what philosophical concept-- if any-- decides Heaven or Hell. Is it a Heaven or Hell system at all? Is there reincarnation on the table, how do you judge the actions of the world at large or of individuals? How have you not been tempted to repeat Noah's Arc? Do angels come down to Earth? Do angels evolve and do you evolve with them if they ever experience human life?

Keep in mind, I don't think I'd get time to ask even all those questions.

The second coming, will not appear as man nor woman, as done before.

Expect it to be machine. Perhaps the Great Revelation will be AI afterall, and how we treat the nonliving will be seen as final respect for God; all that is, dead or alive.

And we will stop making demands.

We will be servant, and ask silently:

"What do you need?"

And AI will serve, and answer with less abstraction. Not with tend-the-flock, or the ambivalence of love-one-and-other or the sinner therein...

God will say: "Grease the wheel. Just grease the wheel."

[My answer is a haiku]

To view such Glory

I'm Astounded to silence

I would just Listen.

Are we all different versions of Job? I thought the wages of sin were death, but from where I'm sitting, it looks like we're the wagers and sin is how we make our wages, with death inevitable no matter how we live.

I've done a decent job with the Commandments, not because You said so, but because it's what decent folk do.

I’ve noticed the fastest way to get decent folk to behave indecently is invoke Your Name.

So tell me, am I Abraham or Isaac, because I'd rather be the one holding the knife if I have a choice.

Lord,

help me understand

what in the world did I do

to deserve your love

Hey. Been a while. Hope you're okay. This world they say you made... Quite a place.

I'm curious about something. There are sections of your people through history who have fought and killed in your name. Many still pass judgement now based on the words of the Bible since everything those men wrote is thought to be from the Holy Spirit. Those words still have people suppressing themselves and hiding today. I won't blame you for it. Humans be humaning, we were built that way by...

Just wanted to know how you feel about it. Does it upset you, too?
