What can I say—So far I am here again today.
For all it’s worth so are the sun, the moon and
stars. That in which I believe I have seen with
my own eyes.
The Grand Canyon, The Empire State, Chicago
and the Great Lakes, sunrise and sunset (although
misnomers, I have learned, because those are
caused by the Earth’s rotation not the other way
around).
I do believe in good and evil, mankind has taught
me that collectively and individually they make
their case in the practice and delivery every day.
As the old adage goes, the proof is in the pudding.
As a native born Missourian, I ask, Show Me,
with fervent consistency. I believe that all men
(and women) are created equal with inalienable
rights, and yet individually and societally, we
still can’t get it right.
I believe that gods were created in the imperfect
image of man rather than the other way around.
There is just far too much going on out there in
this vast universe to blame or praise any man
made deity.
We are so small and inconsequential in the
grand and mostly undiscovered universal
picture of existence and life. We have been
lied to and misled so many times. And while
I have a good concept of wrong and right, I am
imperfect as the next man.
I was born biologically and biologically I
shall die. I believe in dogs and cats, and I
love apple pie if it’s made right. Being an
ordained skeptic with a measure of wit and
humor is a human trait I have come to appreciate.
If some all-powerful, all-knowing being had the
foresight and satirical intent to put me here in
the first place, well that just goes further to prove
my point. It’s all a joke, folks. Not to worry, it’s
all just a joke, an ofttimes vicious and impractical
one at that.
