Total Depravity - part 2

(continued from part 1......)

The historical fact is that theists do not live up to their name, but would much prefer to be desists, so as to maintain a comfortable distance from the Deity, who is taboo/anathema. This taboo-anathema pairing is our ultimate historical paradox, IMHO.

Jesus struggled to break this taboo, but it was not meant to be, felix-culpa. Chicken-little to the rescue......

In our prayers, we often wish for the Lord to hurry....... but.... hmmm..... not too quickly, like just not quite on our watch, if You please!

You and I value our lives. And, yes, some of us, sometimes partake of communion. We just don't want God to return the favor. We don't want God to eat us!

But that, my friends, is just what apocatastasis is all about. It is a return to the Source. It is a return to the Great Attractor, kinda like falling into the Black Hole. There was a movie by that name, I do believe. It is also like what happened to Jody in Contact, if I'm not mistaken. Adults need not apply. Suffer the children....... Childhood's End?

Ah, but not to fear, said the angel. We have just as much time as we wish to enjoy our little Millennium.

So, need I explain further? Pantheism is an anathema to the theist, and it is just lousy Karma to the pantheist

But we are the lucky stiffs. We get to have our communal cake, and eat it, too.

Have I left anything about history unexplained. Yes, this is also a history implosion. We just need to get used to it.
