anything you can do I can do better.
My older brother used to taunt me with this line and it would drive me crazy. It still does. But I’ll admit that I have used it on people who want to play the do it better game, which many religious people do.
If you want to call me a heretic, I can call you a heretic and do it better.
If you want to say I don’t respect the Bible, I can say you don’t respect the Bible, and do it better.
If you want to say I don’t follow the true God, I can say you don’t follow the true God and do it better.
If you want to say I don’t believe in Jesus, I can say you don’t believe in Jesus and do it better.
If you want to say I’m a wolf in sheep’s clothing, I can say you are and do it better.
You see, it’s just not a game that’s good for anyone. What’s the point, besides making the ego feel momentarily better?
It doesn’t get us anywhere. So let’s play a different game.
Where do you see God? Where do you experience God? How have you evolved in the last few years? How are you changing? What do you think needs to change? Why?
