Home / chapters / Writings/ An ode to my hiking buddy
Once and a while when hiking with my old friend, he in the lead, me following behind; but not a word is passed between us, for he has grown hard of hearing over the years, but occasionally hums a tune, which harmonized well enough with my philosophy.
Our intercourse was thus altogether one of unbroken harmony, far more pleasing to remember than if it had been carried on by speech.

Al Akhbar and the 72 virgins! These two ideas puzzle me greatly. I have never heard of a school shooter screaming "God Is Good" as he mows down innocent children, yet that is exactly what every terrorist yells while killing innocent people. Why do jihadists yell "God is good" while performing these killings? And what about the offer to martyrs of 72 virgins? Is this what these men covet here on earth, so much that they would give their life to get at them? I have never read anything like this being offered in Christianity!

WHY, why are we here? Humans desperately need to know that we are not just a mistake! When you got there, how could you know what their intentions were, for THEY were the very entities who sent you to a place that you begged not to be returned to . They might have been jovial and loving because they were excited to see how you faired on this sinful toilet called Earth, and MAYBE you had to go back because your soul was not yet ready for heavenly consumption, maybe earths turmoil prepares our souls for a tasty treat, and that is why they were excited, animated, and loving, for the thought of consuming your essence? Or maybe they just get off on sending our inferior entities into turmoil, and once they regaled in our turmoil, they send our souls to an even worse existence, over and over again for eternity!
