God works, treats people and talks to them in mysterious ways. The following biblical story shows how much the Bible or God's word can be so mysterious, imaginative, phantasmic, while talking to us: God created one people or just one nation. And God equipped them wit one language only. So far so good. But soon thereafter they began to behave in ways that God hated. But God decided not to tell us if he watched or had not watched his people's misbehavior; before deciding to kill all of them, except Noah and his family. Ok, say, God was not watching for sometime what he made? I ask God this question because he allegedly said that what he made "became" bad. So it was not caused by God, according to God; who made bad [or badly] what he made. This reminds me also of the fact, that Trump, according to Trump, is never wrong. After the flood, God made a new nation [seems somewhere in Mesopotamia], he caused it to speak many languages; and, according to God ; in order to confuse them. This mystery or phantasm, is still being 'explained' by other mysteries. Here is another mystery that can be 'explained' by endless new 'explanations' or phantasma: God, after he made his people and made them speak many languages, he scatters them all over the Earth. But imagine a people living in, say, Afrika, Middle East [land of milk and honey], very skimpily clad, being able to live in Alaska, Greenland, Siberia???? Fret not, clergy has plenty of 'explanations' for these mysteries.

Can we ever understand Eph 1:4, "For he chose us in him.....". Most of us would not talk like that. Most likely most of us would use clearer language: God made some people believers or God gives faith to people. Eph then adds ".....before the creation of the world......". This language is clear at least to me but not necessarily true;' for we are talking about some mere myths. ".... to be holy and blameless in his sight". The meaning of the eight words is not clear; it is of wrong linguistic structure. For the words "to be" may mean to become holy on your own and w.o. God's help or it may mean: I, the God or i the IT, only make people holy, perfect, righteous, wise, etc. He 2:11 says that it is God who makes people holy, etc. So, the scribe of the Hebrews supports the latter revelation. Note please that Paul did not call or come to God. God came to him and made him a believer. This observation is also valid for so-called prophets. God was allegedly first to talk to them. These people, then, should not be regarded as prophets for only God knows the future, according to all scribes.

Of all harmful deeds Mother Nature-of which we are an inseparable part- does against us, the abuse of its language and money, i consider the most harmful to all life and not just to voiceless masses of people. And the biggest abusers [butchers] of language, as i see it, is by far the clergy; followed by media, most 'educators', judges, generals, bankers, politicians. Roughly the same bunch are also the biggest abusers of money. Money and language, of themselves and by themselves, are mere, but extremely useful tools, but once the 'elites' get hold of them, they cause hell on Earth. But, as i think, the same analyses is valid for present and past beliefs in gods. So, God or gods, of themselves, for themselves and by themselves, may actually become or are already of benefits to all humans; however, not any religion i know of; for all do much crime against not only each other but the life itself. But our Mother Nature also brings us love, peace, laughter, singing, music, joy, good-wishing, working together, hope, kids, nutritious food, clean air, healthy water, etc. And, say, Baptism, mostly fears, hatred, demonization, wars
