WOTMQ: My Ways Are Not Your Ways
For this video, I have my buddy Aron Ra to thank. As an almost throw-away line — which he didn't really elaborate one, he talked about the fact that the "My ways are not your ways" line from the Bible would only work if God's ways were better. Which they're not.
I couldn't believe I'd never thought of that before. So, I set about thinking. And this video is what struck me afterwards. Aron's right. The lack of transcendence, which I've been screaming about for years, makes that line perhaps one of the most damning lines in all of scripture. There are so many "ways" which could have been imparted by a truly transcendent being. But instead, we get the complete opposite. A picture of God which is anything BUT transcendent.
Thanks gang! One more to come. It's one of my favorite pieces of writing and production in a long time. Another case of where someone said something which got me thinking! Enjoy! B

Your voiceover of Aron reminded me so much of Penn Jillette I had to rewind it
Bri-Bri, if I am not mistaken you used the logo of the Chicago White Sox instead of the Boston Red Soxs. (Matching soxs is so hard!)
Hence the utter lack of explanation why the Ten Commandments are what they are. Christians are utterly baffled as to any reasons *why* murder and theft are wrong, they're just following orders. And not very well.
Thank Gaia I don't share Elohim's ways. If he did exist, I'd love to tell him to shove those ways up his Kolob.
By virtue of the fact that I've never killed anyone, I'm better than Elohim. By virtue of the fact that if I had kids, I wouldn't play favorites--I'm better than the God of Moses.
Have you hacked my computer? I'm literally working on a piece called, "I'm Better Than God. And So Are You!" Freaky!!! Great minds, right?
