click here to return to battery talk above My idea is to sort of use the telekinetic action of the minds of people such as yourselves, to help uplift spirits of all people everywhere (except the ones who should not be uplifted). This is rational I'll explain to you an original insight I figured out. Just as you could not hear the drumbeats produced by the mind of the drummer if God blocked the sound waves, so also another type of action of God, interference as opposed to non-interference, allows the benevolent thoughts in the mind of a praying person to have effect on others. (this does not mean God approves of everything he allows to happen). So if you do something such as read the poetic prayer I wrote you can find below, you might really be able to accomplish something. By now anti-religious noises produced with regularity by the argumentative might be beginning to echo through your head. The best way I know to quiet such echoes is to point out that the scriptures have more than once declared, that most of God's thoughts words and deeds are not recorded in scripture. God grant unto us and to all everywhere except those we should'nt ask such for in prayer that there be less sin is the prayer we now declare For we are like hunters tracking magical game whose meat gives us the holy spirit saints acclaim Spirit of God help us reduce within us that sinfulness through which we fail to catch this game that gives the spirit to us And help reduce sins we commit that weaken the ability of others to capture this game that feeds us spiritually God lend thy assistance and hear this our prayer let there be less truce breaking and theft everywhere less swindling extortion and murder causing despair God grant that evil thoughts and unholiness are reduced in us and also in all places both here and abroad God help us so less folly and drunkenness are turned loose and help lessen misplaced lusts not of the will of the Lord Let there be less of envies jealousies greed and selfishness less of a kind of gainsaying unthinking rash stubbornness less of rejoicing in iniquity and impatience less of irritability and less of covetousness Father God let there be less malice heartlessness and arrogance less hatred overall and less hatred of God and good persons less excess love of self money and pleasure our lives to worsen Lord let there be less absence of faith hope and endurance less absence of natural affection, the absence odd less of ungratefulness and less of lack of thanks to God less of the absence of love and less absence of conscience God grant unto us and to all people everywhere that there be a reduction in sins is now our prayer Let there be less excess of gossip and insolence less approval of sin idle talk and boastfulness and less blasphemy and slander and less false witness Let there be less lack of self control and unseemly behaviour and less insufficient obedience to mothers and fathers Let there be less deceit treachery and lack of forgiveness and less of invention of ways of committing wickedness Let there be less implacability and rashness less of the excess of strife and less of ruthlesness less of excess debate and less unmercifulness less of brutality fierceness and abusiveness Sins we commit that weaken us and make us less able to catch the game that is spirit-giving and magical and sins others commit that weaken our ability to hunt down this magical game are like monstrosities we are like soldiers at war with these monstrosities who contest these lands where we hunt in prayerful rhyme for that Spirit yielding game that can be so hard to find God help us war against these monsters of iniquity All I ask thee father God in this prayer to you, I ask in the name of Jesus whose name is Yayzoos @2003 David Virgil Hobbs |
