i found a story of the moment God tells moses that the people he left at the base of the mountain are worshipping a calf statue made of solid gold, crediting it with all the things God did for them. God tells moses that they will promptly regret this decision, with all their mind, body, soul and spirit, if any survive, anyway. which they won't.
moses pleads with God to take it easy on them, citing the promise made to abraham, that the number of his descendants would rival the stars in the sky. god calms down, and agrees not to utterly destroy them.
what i got out of this is that, you shouldn't follow God blindly accepting what happens, never asking, never thinking, never telling Him how you feel about something. God made dogs for that. you're a person, a human being, so act like the intelligent individual you are, and ask questions, think, tell God how you feel (through, you know, prayer and stuff) sure, He already knows the questions you're going to ask, the thoughts you're going to have. but if you're not going to ask, or think, theres nothing for Him to know. so ask, and think.
unless you're an idiot, you already realise i'm not just talking about God (well, its still connected to Him, and you can still argue its part of God) i'm talking about the world. ask questions, explore, learn new things, never stop doing this. think about things, make connections between thoughts and things, and you'll find more questions, more things to find out. the day you stop asking questions, the day you stop learning new things, is the beginning of the end.
heres a picture of scully and mulder dancing. i hope it makes you laugh as hard as it made me.
