The Periphery of the Mind

Where I post whatever I feel like.

I wonder why Christianity doesn't have more animal-headed gods?

I don't have the answers, and I don't know anyone who does. What brings one person closer to their beliefs, drives another away. There either is no one true way, or else only a handful of people in human history have ever been close to the truth. And in the end, after all the philosophical debating and scholarly research and temper tantrums and empty patience, nothing is changed.

I'm not going to worry about it anymore. Because in the end, whether there's a God or a heaven or an afterlife, doesn't change the fact that I need to do what I can to appreciate and marvel in this life, this world, this moment. If God wants me to worry about the differences between Exodus 20 and Exodus 34 and Deuteronomy 5, He's got more problems than me.

Now I see why the Crusades were so popular.
