10. My 'Revelation'

February 25, 1998

 

In a message dated February 25, 1998, VvJUSTINvV writes:

Citing AirwaveBoy: "How? If he has revealed himself in an unmistakable, contemporary way, then you can surely tell us what that is. Remember, the Bible is not contemporary. You cannot appeal to the Bible. I need something that has occurred in the 20th century, during the lives of people who are currently alive. Also, if we can come up with another realistic explanation for what you claim as "unmistakable" evidence, then clearly the evidence isn't unmistakable. You also need to explain why the adherents of other world religions, who are certainly not "stubborn" to the idea of a god, remain unconvinced of yours. I anxiously await your answer."

VvJUSTINvV responds: "Sure I can tell you what it is. For the 5th or 6th time - just look around you. Everything you see came into existence because there is a God. Not because of some universal laws that have just always been."

A REVELATION:

Everything I see and experience is because of your 'god'? And all this time I thought every mountain, every lake, every river and ever glade were evidence of Doot-Eckies, the one and only truly supernatural entity.

Doot-Eckies, unlike other mythic fantasies, is the TRUE deity! Every time the wind blows, it is evidence of Doot-Eckies. Every time the rain falls, it is evidence of Doot-Eckies. Every time you SNEEZE, it is evidence of Doot-Eckies!

Okay, okay, this is nonsense, isn't it? Of course, in place of the word 'god' one may insert any mythic creation or fantasy, such as Allah, Buddha, Jiminy Cricket, Santa Claus or my very own favorite, "Doot-Eckies". Any of these can 'validate' supernatural claims. Such assertions are impossible to refute, since they are completely arbitrary.

Which 'god' do you want to worship today?

Take your pick.
