Jail or free-wheeling inbreeding

a couple of days ago, someone asked me, "why do you need God?"

i had a hard time answering.

that's like asking a tree why it needs to be green... truth is, it doesn't. and sometimes, it's not... but it's such a part of it, so natural, that well, there are no words or concepts to describe it. it's not a logical question... it just IS... and i guess i just DO...

i thought about it, and on a fundamental level, like the very basic level of choosing to engage God in my life... i don't "need" him. many people do not actively pursue God, and get along just fine, technically. some are even happy. and well, you can't fault them for that.

the thing that they don't realize is that their very bodies betray this "choice" that they've made with their own intellect. the fact that they breathe, eat, sleep, think, and have the very will that gives them the freedom to deny God, exists solely b/c of the God that they think they don't need. our beings are created to worship, to echo into the universe praise to our creator, just by our existing... the breath that enters and exits our lungs is it's own praise song to God.
