Sacred Letters From A Damned Fool

“For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold,

it shall come down…upon the people of

my curse, to judgment.”

Isaiah 34:5

 

Dear Goddesses and Gods of the Universe,

I didn’t really like the idea of starting a war in Your name today so I thought I would write You a letter instead, since my prayers tend to be so formal and coldly indifferent. I mean I never pray to begin with, I think I have prayed perhaps five times in my entire life.

I didn’t want to alienate you by seeming as if I am as far removed from You as other faiths portray themselves in the presence of their deities so a letter seemed more along the lines of something I would send to a friend, family member or loved one in which esteem I try to hold you as it is a personal relationship after all. If only I knew where to send this letter…

As I actually have a personal relationship with you in this quasi-polytheistic, natural-spiritual sense (oddly like family, friend or loved one) and don’t have to prove this to my neighbor or anyone else by having to convert them by bloodshed or killing them for not converting and in the same sense who would condemn their loved ones anyways? Well I’m getting off track now.

What I’m trying to get at is that I just have to live a good life and be a good person so that others around me may somehow benefit from the gifts I have, whatever they may be, I can’t keep this much awesomeness to myself, that would be extremely rude.
However, I do condemn so many for their actions based on what they claim to be religious tenets, etc, and they in turn point their fingers at me. I can’t stand the things that are done in the name of religion. They seem very “special” in that way that’s not good to be special if you know what I mean.

Seriously though, how can I not see every ancient Pantheon in my everyday life though when You have given us so much to every faith and spirituality around the world for so long? If there was one person in the world that wanted me to believe that that your Pantheon is nothing but devils and demons or myth and legend when the whole basis for their beliefs lie in what you have given them then am I the misguided one? If this is faith I will be a heathen, pagan or infidel any day of the week It’s mind boggling really. I’m just saying.

So in my own little way this is a thank You for all things they don’t understand yet as well as those things I have yet to understand. I’m not a big people person as the things I see most people say or do is just beyond me. Humans seem a foreign species that I’ve been forced to live with as a social experiment so I had to learn a lot of different coping skills to deal with the, at times what I think of as insane things, but all the same I don’t understand like I said. So, thank You.

As above, so below…and to the left, and right…and forwards, and backwards…and most importantly the center.

Amen, So Mote It Be, Hallelujah
