Where's God?

The Gods of men are lost; can you find them? Maybe they're in that new 36" television you've been wanting. Maybe they're in that new cordless drill you've had your eye on. Maybe they're in that giant plate of lasagna you're going to have for a late-night snack or that bag of chips you're going to eat while watching a movie on your new DVD player. Maybe that new X-Box gaming console has them trapped. Maybe....

Perhaps they're swimming in that ninth bottle of beer or that seventh wine cooler. Maybe they're chilling out in that joint you just rolled or in that line of white powder on the mirror. Who knows, maybe they're even in that syringe your buddy lent you.

Oh wait, I know where they are. They must be in that big brick building with the steeple and the cross on top. Or maybe it was that other place where you leave people agog with your sins. Maybe you have to face east while you press your forehead against the floor to find God or maybe you need a jade statue of a large fat man. Hmm, maybe the Gods aren't there either.

Maybe, just maybe, you could look inside yourself. Look into your heart to find genuine love and compassion. Then take what you find there and show it to everyone you meet. Who knows, if enough people do this, maybe we wouldn't need to search inside materialism, mind altering substances and outdated traditions for that spiritual link. Maybe we'd find it in each other, instead.
