Mental Utopia

Sitting on the bus reading my Ethics text when the thought occurs to me, there must be a method to this Ethics Windbag after all.  Except I have the feel that he's either a babysitter or the real prof's stand-in.  If he would lecture concerning the reading material, I honestly would be intellectually aroused.  The book really blows my socks off.  Today I got to read about the difference between the Law of Nature and Divine Law of Nature.  Both are polar opposites in my opinion, with the latter always claiming to be the truth, the way and true end-all.  Nature of Law states all things exist on this planet for a reason.  Rain is for plants, plants are for animals, animals for men.......circle of life type stuff.  Divine Law touches upon the same topics, but says that God made it that way.  Looking at it subjectively, it doesn't make a bit of sense.  More so when looking at it from a moral point of view, why do we have morals and by what moral system do we abide by?.......and where did that system originate from?  Perhaps beginning of mankind or based on spiritual beliefs.  The Divine Law couldn't be further from the truth.  If the circle of life mumbo jumbo was in play before God made his presence known, why take claim to its original existence?  Was he sitting behind the scenes and watching everything play out like a movie?.....who the heck knows.  Furthermore, perhaps that was already in mind way back in the day, especially when they derived our system of time, BC or AD.  That in of itself is just a point of reference, similar in the astronomical world where the solar system could be looked at from an earth-centered point of view or a sun-centered point of view.  Why pick the time of Christ as a reference point?  Why not compare it to a person in ancient times dropping his morning glory in the sand with the world then appointing the reference point as before-squat or after-squat.  Seriously, it don't mean diddly squat.  Now we're back to square one where you can only be on one side of the fence.  Enter an old Point Loma prof I had that claimed to be a devout Christian that was a strong believer of the Big Bang Theory.  Seriously?  Perhaps this guy's Bible was missing the Book of Genesis.  Sounds to me like he was a "Make Love Not War" kind of guy that would drop the A-bomb at the same time.  Makes the blood boil I tell you.  Thought instantly re-enters my head of the ding dong saying no Sunday baseball.  Hypocrites, hypocrites, hypocrites.........isn't your deity the one that gave my boys the baseball talent to begin with?....and you're saying they can't use that talent on a certain day of the week.  You say to give thanks?  Trust me bucko, this family is thankful every day of the week, and twice on Sunday................HA....................because they play double-headers.  I think the point is driven home.  You really want to see how I truly pick apart situations and trains of thought?  Words sometimes don't do it justice.  A scene from Good Will Hunting is a pretty scary similarity.
