MAN'S WAY vs. GOD'S WAY

Okay, I admit it. The idea that God is this really great ~thinker~ who "snapped his fingers" together (this is metaphorical) and created The Whole Universe, within a couple of days, in what could only be described as "the most benevolent act ever committed by any God" or (God, Lord, God for that matter), is beautiful, but then what happened?

I have given a great, great deal of thought to this matter I am happy to tell you - it is my assertion that people wanted Ipods. Sure, there is "The Garden of Eden", but the evidence for that is circumstantial and God, since then, has committed a number of acts which undoubtedly call into question ~his~ benevolence, i.e. The Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, Etc. In fact, the most benevolent thing which God has done in a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, time is that ~he~ gave, "his favorites" - THE IPOD, didn't he?

SOME, might say, - Man created the IPOD for himself, which again calls into question the benevolence and supreme power of God Himself. The question then becomes, did God permit man to create Ipods for himself and if God is soooooooo - powerful and kind then why didn't he give just give us the Ipod like he gave us the carrot and the turtle among other things, and even more so, why is it that Americans cannot make anything for themselves, not even an Ipod?

This has certainly become a perplexing dilemma.

Somehow I feel like this has to do with Economics and not GOD, at least not a finger snapping God, so what is GOD? Is God just a myth? Is there something useful within God? Is God within me? Is God entertained by the question of "Who the hell are you?" Unless I get a response I am unwilling to continue, because these questions have all been asked. They are all so boring. There is no end to them and for that reason. Philosophy must prevail!
