Better than Who?? : a whimsical dialogue ----------- So, God, you want me to bow down and grovel at your feet, so that you will let me into heaven. Well, let me ask You this; If I came up to you on the street and wanted You to bow down and grovel at MY feet, or I would throw you in hell, would you? Wait! You cry. Invalid comparison; I'm God! But, I reply, you haven't proved it lately. Maybe You're confused, and I am. You want a miracle? You ask. No. Why waste the effort. Perhaps, though, you could grant me a few wishes, then I shall grant you the same. OK. Hmmmm....I'd like to have a nice car. Your car is nice. I don't think so. But, my friend, can you not see that this is all relative? What you consider a 'nice car' is not the same as everyone else! Why, then, are there relative things in this world? Doesn't it make keeping it on track harder? Yes, but consider how boring it would be if everyone liked the same car. Thank you God. I think I'll sleep in this weekend. *smile* Ok. It's cool. The door's always open. 6/21 -- Dave Taylor
