even though what we do is w r o n g

Oh my GOD. How many times have you heard this in the past week? Day? Isn't this a sin, saying the Lord's name in vein? Jesus Christ, it's like we sin everyday. Is what we do holy, stealing gum from Walmart? Cheating on a significant other? Laughing at someone's expense?

I've been to church before. I mean, haven't you? No, not just at Easter and Christmas. We're talking every other week. I really liked the idea of having someone who loved me unconditionally. Therefore I could do no wrong. Well, my parents love me unconditionally but it seems like I can certainly still be punished.

That's tough, betting on God. Is there a God? If there was, he would fix things. Right? That's what everyone thinks. A higher power will come down and bring people back from the dead. He'd make people fall in love. He'd fix poor decisions. He'd virtually eliminate our tear ducts. He'd make life fair. He'd make a Santa Claus. He'd fix poverty. He'd bring back that first pet you had. He'd find your car keys you lost a few minutes ago. If there was a God, wouldn't he make decisions up to you? Wouldn't you have the power to make decisions? If there was a God, he wouldn't want to be tested. For this reason I wouldn't put my money either way. If I lost it, wouldn't everything be alright... God?
