First off, before any of
you God-fearing church-
going folk out there start
writing angry letters to the
paper condemning me _ to
eternal damnation, | just
want to get one thing
straight.
| am not an atheist.
| am not a Satanist.

If pressed for the truth |
would have to say that | am
a Pagan. No, | don’t active-
ly worship idols. | just feel
that there is no ultimate
justice meted out to all
deserving parties. And the
reason | believe this is really
quite logical if you consider
it. Here’s what | mean.

We are taught by the
Bible that the world was
created in six days. Now to

today’s modern man, this
sounds rather improbable.
But that’s only because we
think of those six days as
being six of our 24 hour

‘days. What if a day to God

is say a few hundred million
or billion years to us. Well
then, that’s easy to under-
stand. It just means that
God. works in a different
time zone than us. And after
all, we are always being told
that he works in mysterious
ways.

Now if this were the truth,
and remember I’m not say-
ing that it is, it’s only my
opinion, and if you choose to
agree then fine, but if not
then that is your right.

If it is true, just consider
what that means. If one day

-in the life of God is a few

hundred million years to us,
then in the time it takes God
to brush his teeth in the

‘morning, we could have

built and destroyed an
entire complex civilization.
Just think about it.

And so naturally, it fol-
lows that no matter how
much heart is in your pray-
