It just struck me, what I should name my new church. You know, the
one that advocates hedonism, and says that God actually lives inside
us, including our own individual ass.

And I was thinking about, y'know, for me, practically every day
is a day of rest. So, what would God do if His work was done?
He'd still probably either be resting, or He'd be playing, I'd
think. Well, He'd be doing whatever God does, I suppose. :-)

Also, one of our sacraments is THC, which helps with profound
revelations, of course.

Anyway, it's: The Church of The Rest Of God.

Pretty catchy, eh? I believe God AKA The Universe includes
everything there is, even stuff that thinks it doesn't
include Him. ;-)

Do yawning, belching, and farting exist within God? Of
course! There isn't any other place to exist! So scratch,
drink beer, do whatever you want, because it's all Divine. :-)

And science certainly isn't separate - they just haven't
discovered the right instruments yet. Well, I have, but it's
internal, and really, really hard to get to, so it's a pretty
hard sell. But everybody's more than welcome to join!

Cheers!

All of nature, from particles to people, are striving to take the path
of least action.

Regarding people, the path of least action in the short run and long run
are often quite different. This aspect of nature molds life into
increasingly intelligent forms, so life can choose the long-term rather
than short-term path.

Intelligent life plays poker. Bluffing and presumption affect how people
behave.

I like my (30 year) old church choice: "First Church of the Holy Spirits"

Of course we don't do wimpy wine at our daily meetings at "Our Lady Of the
Corner Gin-Mill".

I think God would be too depressed to do much resting or playing after
seeing what a mess His ultimate creation has made of the rest of what He
created.

Rich - this may be one of those transatlantic confusions whch make life
so interesting but I have to ask, purely in the spirit of theological
investigation you understand: are you claiming that the creator of the
universe resides inside your rectum?

Well, not _all_ of Him, of course. It's more like, He's everything
including even all the raw material. And by multidimensional fractal
mapping, you can draw a one-to-one correspondence between each individual
human's ass and the ass of God Himself. Kinda, there is no Ass but God's
Ass. All our asses are fragments of God's ass. And, of course, the same
with the brain and all of the other parts. :-)

There's more to it, like the will/magnetic/female/emotional polarity of the
Divine Essence, which is actually the part that's able to be compressed
into physical form.

There's a lot more to it, and it can be intensely shocking to discover
the aspects of the Universe that you've previously held yourself blind
to.

Cheers!

That's just one of the three great principles (lust, reality, nirwana) found
in nature. Guess right and win a copy of "Jenseits des Lustprinzips",
Sigmund Freud, Fischer Verlag;o)

I think I will stick with the nice *normal* Church of the SubGenius™...

He celebrates, dances and does whatever he feels like in that moment. This
is a big blessing to all of us who suffer, because we can see: it is
possible. Everyone can be instantly there, we are all just God, and the
moment we have become aware of it, we have arrived there.

That's OK, it helps a bit, you giggle like a 14-year old girl. An outlet of
surplus energy-gibberish. But when it's finished, the desire comes strongly
again to have a spliff, not what I would call freedom.

Rich, also you will make it, you are on the right way. And pass bye, when
you arrived.
Then I will touch your feet, and I will become your faithful desciple.
