Divine search phrases
Welcome to a special edition of “replying” to search queries about religious topics – and a little mysticism is included, too…
Fot those who don’t know yet: These search phrases, highlighted in grey, led people here, and I neither shortened nor extended them nor made them up, I just translated the German ones. Conveniently, they can form a real dialog (if you arrange them as needed, as I did), which I emphasised with long dashes “—”.
I know your in heaven smiling down every day we pray for you — Think about it, does it make sense (even from the point of view of a deeply religious person) to pray for someone who is already in heaven? — Think? Don’t want to do that; see, that’s why I believe! 
God… — Which one? You can find yourself a god, believe in which one you want cause dont you know there all the same, they just go by different names. — People try and tell that its crazy: weird look at the wall for 10 seconds and you will see god — Yeah, that’s really weird, downright insane. I got a better idea: look up at me and you’ll see your god! And as a god, I’ll answer a few questions:
Oh lord is i in heaven? — No, not in English, but the German word for “heaven”, “Himmel”, does indeed contain an “i”.
God why won’t you let me sell my house? — ’cause you’re living in a church, that’s why!
Oh lord wont you by me a monkey? — What banalities should a god be in charge of?? And you certainly won’t get a monkey: monkeys are evil, they remind too much of evolution! 
What’s the point of living if we know were gonna die one day? Speak o lord as we come to you! — You woudln’t need a god to find an answer: to live, of course! — till the end of my days o lord? — Right-o!
Lord i know that i’m in your hands and you won’t let go — Don’t be so sure about that – that’s also what a free climber said when folding his hands to pray… …and thud!
My god why is my heart so cold? — Wait a moment, im searching for an angel to bring me your heart, then I’ll have a closer look.
I did some science and im feeling’ fine — Fine, you’re getting better!
how numerology help our science and technology — But not with such a crap as numerology! — *sheepishly* trees numerology? numerology hyphen value? — Stop it, that’s anything but science, that’s bullshit!
Speaking of bullshit:
pierre franckh wishing bullshit? — Yes! (he’s a small German Rhonda Byrne, if you will)
That’s it – and as closing words for today:
Why be a nobody in heaven when you can be a star in hell?
Guardian angels cause internal injuries and broken bones
An Australian base jumper’s parachute did not open properly when he jumped down a waterfall – reason for the radio news of Antenne Bayern to praise “multiple guardian angels”, AFP’s German report sticks with the singular, saying “The guardian angel apparently didn’t let him down” (my translation); “the man suffered a suspected broken leg and pelvis and internal injuries”, full report without “heavenly help” in English here.
Hello, dear guardian angel(s), how about fixing the guy’s parachute to make it unfold properly? (If you actually existed, that is…) I think it’s rather (unintentionally) cynical of the news writers/speakers to actually praise the “guardian angels” in cases like this, if you indeed believe in them.
(By the way, the jumper may be charged by the police due to jumps being illegal there.)
