I am on a Love kick. See, I have a firm belief that Love Is The Point. We're here to love one another, not to acquire wealth or power, but to create good feeling among people. So (in my opinion) if you are working to make others happy, you are doing God's work.Not everyone agrees with me, of course. Some believe it's God's work to kill those who disagree with their religion. Or that it's God's work to punish others when they sin, in an attempt to recreate divine justice on earth. Of course we have the Biblical admonitions "Thou Shalt Not Kill" and "Judge Not, Lest Ye Be Judged," but those are the wimpier sentiments, aren't they? I mean, the thrilling parts are all about Revelation and Divine Retribution and being snatched out of your shoes during the Rapture! And it's so much more pleasant to believe that you are on the winning side of the cosmic war between Good and Evil, than to think that God has created all the exquisite shades of gray as well as the black and the white.
So it's clear (at least to me) that the only way to live is to realize that Love Is The Point. Examine your motivations closely when you find yourself calling for someone else's eternal damnation... And while you're at it, emblazon this message on your mugs, greeting cards and tote bags, to remind yourself and all your friends. Then act accordingly!
