In our quest to assign to god our impossible tasks, we fail to include in the equasion god's reasons for fulfilling our requests...
Ironic that the only tasks we ask god to do, only get done when we do them ourselves...
I.E.: ... a man has been lost in the desert for many days... He finds a great clear pristine lake in the midst of the great desert, and approaches, recognizing the lake as his god, falls to his knees in prayer, begging profusely to god to quench his thirst, and to cool his baked bleeding flesh...
A year later, a man who has been lost in the desert for many days, comes upon a great pure pristine lake, and recognizes it as his god... notices a sun bleached skeleton at the shore, kneeling in prayer... and ponders the skeleton a moment... then turns to the great cool lake, and dives in, quenching his thirst, and heals his wounds... and walks away whistling a happy tune...
