My dear sir.

You make excellent points.

Why would someone worthy of the title "Supreme" or "Allmighty" endorse such

behavior as you indicate by excerpts from "the" Bible? How absurd indeed.

The underlying permise however of every theology you appear to be A-gainst is

this:

    There is a basic understanding within humanity founded by real world

experience that (in a nut shell) no matter how great an ass kicker you may

be, there is always a bigger foot behind you... ask anybody; Genghis Kahn,

Adolph Hitler, you get my drift. On top of that, the studies of science prove

that even the most stable element in existence (and since matter can neither

be created, nor destroyed, that which is in existence is all we really have

to work with) cannot permanently resist change. Therefore, once a body of

strength evolves and stabilizes it automatically doubts its' good fortune and

deteriorates from within as do the so called "Super Power" countries of today.

    Whether the believers or the non-believers buy into the notion of a

supreme being, and no matter what we choose to call it, it exists. Some of us

fear it because we have tested it, and recieved an unsavory lesson. Some of

us honor it because of its' even handed, often harsh manner of treating us

all as equally worthless or worthy as our individual case may be. Some of us

neither deny it nor profess it as long as our number does not come up.

    Our number ALWAYS comes up. Our ultimate duty is to realize it does

exist, and that the sooner and longer we learn from it, the longer we

survive. Not only as individuals, but as individuals who can come together in

the largest support group as possible in order to survive even better.
