Prepositions are the confusion of all language, all philosophy, and all religion. They are the root of all confusion and death and war, and nothing properly exists without them.
It is a bit funny, to say the least, that all of our activities, breaths, hopes and days all add up to a big heaping pile of death in the end. For most this exchange seems unjust.
Any philosophy or theology - any view for that matter - believed by or ascribed to by all or most people cannot be true. Go to a group, for example, of anthropologists or theologians, and find what they all can agree upon and affirm as the overriding bias of the group, and discount that from your human understanding.
We must reject and be critical of whatever the herd so easily agrees upon.
A bee is no more qualified to fly than a human.
This thought arises from seeing a bumble-bee thud to the ground in mid-flight, a minute later, to rise and fly over my head, no doubt embarrassed. I have seen one die in this very same way.
"One -- a'day" is the suckle of addiction.
A Christian whose liberation is alcohol or cursing might as well be a drunk driver too.
A Christian is the worst enemy of the kingdom
when she suspects anyone else but herself of being its worst enemy.
Enjoyed this one the most:
"A bee is no more qualified to fly than a human.

Thought I might add this one.
"You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do." Anne Lamott
