It is all so obvious. But it is amazing how folks will tend to forget that everything Holy and Sacred has been written down and conjured up by very flawed, fallible, complicated, contradictory, bifurcated, tricky Human Beings. When someone starts telling you about God, and what God thinks, remember, those folks are speaking about themselves, they are projecting their inner maelstrom, revealing their deep-seated desires, hopes, fears, madnesses, worries, doubts, etc. It is so obvious, and true.

"Everything is Holy, Even the Unholy..."
You know when we speak of "sacred texts" (see previous post), we are speaking of texts written by Human Beings. Bible, Koran, Bhagavad Gita, Torah, the Book of Mormon, the Sayings of Buddha etc. All of those "sacred works" are conjured up from the fevered brains of Human Beings. Literary works in the same category as "Moby Dick," "Catch-22", "On the Road," "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," "The Collected Works of William Shakespeare," "The Collected Works of William Blake," "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance," the novels of Faulkner, the short stories of Hemingway, Poems by Byron, Keats & Shelley, "The Definitive Songbook of Bob Dylan," you know, etc.
