Earlier tonight while talking to God, before the space station, 2 spacecrafts flew overhead. I wonder if those on board the space station saw them. If so, you likely won't be hearing about it - not from NASA anyway.

I was discussing the issue of salesmen, political and religious. Oftentimes, people cling to information that sounds good - it sounds right, and that's enough for them to trust the pitch without doing any further investigation. They essentially trust the salesman.

I am so very untrusting. As soon as someone begins trying to convince me of something, anything, ten thousand red flags fly up. This isn't to say that they're lying, but they are being biased.

And this is evident by the fact that they are trying to convince me of something rather than just telling me the plain untouched truth. I'd prefer you just give me all the information and not tell me how to think or feel about it.

God is not a salesman. Never, not one time, in these last 13 years of my walk with God has God ever tried to throw me a pitch.

Religion is a salesman - full of unobservable promises: just pay the price (by following the laws and commandments of the lord), and you too will receive a crotchless body and drink from the golden showers of heaven which never stop flowing.

God doesn't owe you anything - not a sales pitch, not a promise, not a heaven. As such, God does not require anything from you (personally, for God's benefit). If God were hungry, do you think God would tell you?

In the beginning, God wanted something, and God saw it fit to put in work and effort to give God what God wanted. YOU were not required in any step of that process; neither was your worship required, nor your sacrifice.
