There are approximately 474,000,000 Web Page results about God. (You
can look it up.)
<
There are also 85,600,00 postings about God on Google as well as
another 3,610,000 different postings to Google Groups.
<
I hate to say this but every single one of them is wrong.
<
You see, God isn't like your typical trillionaire, his Nose held high
and making more money the only thing on His mind.
<
Actually, He is really down to earth and a pretty nice Guy.
<
Hell -- please excuse the language -- He's given you so much. He's
given you a physical existence and a plethora of wonderful things
that
allow you to exist.
<
It's amazing, really, that He takes in stride that so many people
claim He doesn't exist, that we -- all of us -- have come along by
pure chance despite the astronomical odds against it.
<
Consequently, I often wonder why HE doesn't throw more darts --
lightning strikes -- at His critics, with their heads constanty up
their ass.
<
The only resonable answer, I would think, is that -- among His many
attributes -- He has awfully tough skin.
<
Once upon a time a poster to talk.origins sarcastically wrote that I
-- Ed Conrad -- had skin "thicker than a concrete rhinoceros."
<
I'm pretty sure, in God's case, it's even thicker.
<
The only living person I know who has met God and conversed with Him
is David Fellin, one of the two coal miners who were entombed 14 days
during a cave-in near Hazleton, Pa., in August 1963.
<
By now you should well remember the story when, after a few days and
all hope was gone. Pope John XXIII -- who died 10 weeks before the
cave-in -- appeared to both men at the same time and remained with
them until Hank Throne, then Fellin, were raised to the surface
through a borehole.
<
It was while entombed -- before contact was made with the miners --
that Fellin had many out-of-body experiences.
<
One was being aboard Columbus' ship en route to discovering America,
testifying later that good ol' Chris was using a compass.
<
Another was watching the Egyptian pyramds
being constructed, expaining that not a single multi-ton rock was
hauled to the site but, instead, the blocks were made from what
appeared to be cement right where they are today.
<
Fellin also revealed -- years before the Hubble -- that there are
more
stars and planets in the universe "than there are grains of sand on
all of the beaches of the world."
<
He also testified that he knew for a fact that there are human beings
like us scattered throughout the seen and unseen universe -- and
added, like icing on the cake, that he actually traveled to one of
these planets and saw for himself that it contained human life.
<
As for his conversations with our God, Fellin said He is normal in
every way except that he couldn't see His face because it was
shrouded
in darkness.
<
"Pop," Fellin said he asked Him (always calling him Pop). "Why can't
I
see Your Face?"
<
He said God told that by revealing HIs face, it would stereotype Him,
and He wanted it known that He can enter the soul of anyone at any
time -- a prince or a pauper.
<
Our God also told Fellin that He is a member of a family of Gods who
lives in a physical form on a planet countless light years from earth
and each God is responsible for a section of the unfathomable
universe,
<
He expained to Fellin that His physical body has its limitations
but he can conquer time and distance by traveling as a spirit,
taking only a split-second to be where HE wants to be.
<
He also revealed that He doesn't judge us when we die -- as we
depart our physical existence for another destination -- but
emphasing that we're judged by our contemporaries while we
were on earth.
<
No one burns in a place called hell, Fellin had learned. The
punishment is being ostracized by friends and family for the evil
deeds we had done against them -- especially behind their back --
while in the physical realm.
<
Fellin was asked how He felt being in God's
company and his answer was much more than we can ever wish.
<
"I loved my own father with my whole heart," he told me. "Being in
the
company of God gave me that very same feeling."
