good messages i use from the bible

Hey it's Dan... 

 I wanted to avoid having my own mission statement with this web page, because I intend for it to basically just be god definitions. However, it obviously starts off strongly sarcastic and appears one-sided.
     As an agnostic, I don't have answers and therefore cannot take any side, which is great!  But in order not to seem ENTIRELY FUCKING IGNORANT etc, I want to make a couple comments on this-- 
     The reason we started the page is because kev and i think making fun of god is hilarious.  It is such a wild concept, god!  Yet it's EVERYWHERE!  Yikes!  We are also tired of greed and abuse, war, other bad shit in this world and want to make a statement about it.  Why don't more people do it, laugh at God, and not mock, restrict, and judge each other?  If there is anyone it should be safe to laugh at, it is the presence, and/or absence of god.  Conveniently my name, Daniel means "god is my judge," which frees my soul a bit, because I realize a lot of what people do when they "Believe" in "God" is "Judge Their Neighbor" (or worse.) Also, defining god: It's just something to fucking think about while driving, or better yet BIKING.   
     To me, it seems a Good Old Laugh At The Almighty could unite living creatures, rather than be an object of argument, rules, deception, a way of gathering money or justifying riches , enacting rituals, judging lifestyles, fuel for violence, prototype of power structure, a living dream world,  etc.  The planet is fucked and full of assholes.  It's fucking true, this world sucks.  I'm having fun though.
   I grew up in the Episcopal Church.  It helped me be a better musician.  It gave me insight into what is hilarious about church.  But Episcopals are generally open minded, god fucking bless them.
  
IN CONCLUSION, this is all that I need of the bible.  Three wonderful sayings that help me.  NUMBER ONE:  A Gentle Answer Turns Away Wrath.  (This was above a friend's toilet on a little sign, from Psalms. NUMBER TWO: Love thy neighbor as thyself.  (No shit, the golden fucking rule--manually stimulate your neighbor.  NUMBER THREE: Turn the other cheek.  Which is kinda the same as the first one, come to think of it? 

So, I made this strange-ass website cause I think it's really funny, and some of the stuff needs to be said, like how people use god (or the idea of god) to their advantage, and how people could maybe consider light-ning up about god just a fucking little bit, and be kind hearted, or at least not cruel. And maybe use their imaginations a little, rather than being SO FUCKING LITERAL.  We are all playing with ideas.  Say what you will.

Now God-defined.com has become more a collecting and reflecting pond for anything anyone wants to say about what god is (or isn't).  As we move well into the thousands of definitions, it is starting to feel more balanced between believers and sane folks.  It's art, it's a creative experiment.  It is my gift of love, really fucked up love, to the universe.

Thanks for reading this dumb shit and OF COURSE i realize i think about God too much, it's fun, like any hobby!  However, if I say I don't know anything about God, and spend a lot of time thinking about that, it still doesn't mean he exists to me!  Sorry, he's not with me now.  Shrugs.  I must dwell in the land of observation, and am satisfied with questions.  I am happy finding my way alone in this interesting world, which would be a mystery and a miracle -and also despicable -no matter how it came into being.   

Take a joke!  God does!  Help a human!  God doesn't!
