Ok........for this exercise, you need to completely empty your Mind; pretend you are either a Boy or Girl. You've just been born to a Family ( somewhere in the World........it's not important ) that live in a reasonably isolated place ( all your neighbours are dotted over a wide area, on their own smallholdings ). You and Your Family live off the Land and you have NO religion, as you and all your neighbours never new one existed. All of a sudden, all your neighbours gather from miles around and start erecting a massive structure at a particular spot. This structure costs all the money to build, that you and your neighbours have earned over the last ten years. You also have to stop earning and spend every day of your life involved in building this structure. You quite rightly approach the Person, who instigated all this, to ask what exactly you are all doing and what the building is. "A church" says He......"A Church" says you........."What's a Church"........"A House to God" says He.........."Whose God says you"........."there's nobody living around these parts called God and anyway, why are we all building Him a House 10 times the size of anybody else's around here"........."He is the creator"says He..........."Creator of what" says you........"Creator of everything......including You" says He......."My Mother and Father created Me" says You......"Yes but He created the very first Human Being" says He.........."How the Hell do you know THAT" says you......."I just do" says He........"So where is this God" says you......"All around" says He......" how can anybody be all around" says you "Stop being stupid, I just want to meet this God, that we are all giving all our money and lives to build this House for, that's not an unreasonable request now is it " says you............"You can't meet Him" says He........"Why" says you......."because you can't see Him" says He......"what do you mean I can't see Him" says You "Is He here or not".........."He's not here like a person" says He "He's everywhere, including within you" says He. By this time, as you can imaging, our completely open minded and sane questioner, is beginning to think several people around Him; are a Sandwich short of a Picnic, but tries another line of questioning. "So when we've built this Church, what are we going to do with it " says you........."We'll all gather in it and say prayers and sing songs to this God, that you cant see, can't hear, can't feel, doesn't help, doesn't listen, but that I've told you exists" says He............"WAKE UP YOU IDIOT, DO YOU KNOW HOW RIDICULOUS YOU SOUND" says You.
