"Diseased like us" toking

Jun 11 16:47 UTC 1999

In the beginning,
God said "Let there be..."
and that's went it all went wrong
He could have said
"let there be peace"
or
"let there be love"
or maybe
"let there be understanding,
no matter how limited
no matter how frail
let there be true understanding"
but no
God said "light"
His expectations were much too high
Except we're all modeled after him
Right?
does that mean God is broke?
does that mean God is deseased
like us
his perfect little children

deseased should be diseased

(I"m full of typos today...)

I'm with orinoco there.  This is a very interesting idea, what it might 
have been like if God had said "let there be understanding" et al., and 
I would like to see it expounded on a little more.  Wax eloquent about 
what life might have been like with love or understanding as the quantum 
of the universe instead of light, if emotion or wisdom ruled instead of 
cold facts.  I think that the idea of God as mistaken, even diseased or 
delusional, makes a good conclusion, but it needs to be stronger and 
probably lengthier.  OTOH, I suspect, if I were to try to work with the 
ideas you suggest, that I might come to a different place and need a 
different conclusion.  You may find that you do also.  

Also, I don't like the line that's just "or".  I think the rhythm and 
the grammar both work better without that line.
