Cut it out; or off


The Universe is doomed. Bank on it.
 
You know that I love the Universe (wine...), but if I hear from my 'fellow'-Christians any more heretical rubbish urging me to convert to the New Age religion and bow before the planet, the ice caps, hippos, daisies, butterflies and gorrillas, I’ll blow the whole thing up myself!

I expect pagans to be world-confused, but Christians? Seeing them put the Earth goddess before the Lord makes me start piling up dead wood into an only briefly sustainable stake. Because, let me tell you, if the Universe causes you to think of God as its appendix rather than the other way round, cut the Universe off and throw it away! It is better for you to enter the Kingdom of Heaven* without the Universe, than go Hell with it.

(The funny - so to speak - thing is this Universe is doomed anyway. Why on earth would anyone want to link their fate to a doomed thing?? It just beggars Christian belief...)
 
Just drop it, will you?
 
 
*"enter life", in the original. Amazing. Each word counts there. Amazing.
