In Their Own Words: God Rested
Sam Aurelius Milam III The Christians like to claim that their God is a mighty God, unlimited in any way, all-seeing, omnipotent, infinite, and eternal. They also like to claim that their Holy Bible is the inspired Word of that God, infallible, authoritative, unchanging, and final. With that in mind, consider the second verse of the second chapter of Genesis, the first book of that infallible Holy Bible.
In the synonyms statement under the definition of rest, in The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, I found this statement.
Indeed, that's the general understanding of the word. Somebody rests when he's tired. He does it to recuperate, to restore his strength and energy. However, that's the understanding that other people have. What do Christians think about it? Maybe they have some special meaning for the word, when God does it. What does their infallible Holy Bible say?
If Christians want to kill each other, in violation of the previous commandment at Exodus 20:13, then that's their problem, not mine. I'm trying to make a different point here. The Holy Bible says that God rested after doing some work. It also commands Christians to rest after doing their work. It seems reasonable to conclude, from the observed usage, that the same meaning is intended for the word in both situations. That is, Christians rest the same way that God did, and for the same reason. People rest because they're tired. It follows that God rested because God was tired. That's an important observation. Here's why. The Holy Bible, the inspired, infallible, unchanging Word of God, tacitly acknowledges that God was tired. If God can get tired, then the unavoidable conclusion is that God's endurance is limited. Otherwise, he wouldn't get tired. So, God doesn't have limitless powers. It says so right there in the Christians' own Holy Bible. If God's powers are limited, then maybe some of the other claims that have been made on his behalf, by Christians, are also not true. Maybe God isn't infinite. Maybe God isn't eternal. Maybe God isn't all-seeing, all-wise, and omnipotent. These are interesting thoughts.
Don't get mad at me about this. It wasn't my idea. It came right out of the Christians' own Holy Bible, in their own words. All that I did was to read it and to report what I read. Whoever has eyes to read ought to read. Whoever has a brain to think ought to think. Letter to the Editor Thanks for Frontiersman Oct 08. The lead article [Ol' Toothless editor] I assume is NOT of your authorship? Its one of the few (or only) pieces I've seen in the Frontiersman that is as good as your own. Thats very rare. You stated the source, from FRONT SIGHT, but not the (any) authors name which is why its left ambiguous if its your writing or not. Anyway, its superb. a prisoner
If an article that appears here is mine, then my name will be on the byline. I cited the source of the piece in question, but not its author. The source cites the author as A. L. Jones. editor

The American Dream
G. W. Brown Sadly, the once believed American way of life is going away. Years ago it was accepted as a fact that if one achieved a college degree he would have prosperity all the days of his life. That is no longer the case. In 1977, I graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I worked eleven years as an engineer. The only setback in my career was when I exposed a management operated prostitution ring at Southern Company Services in 1986. Two years later, I was laid-off and blacklisted from the engineering profession. Over the years I fought this blacklisting and I'm proud to say that Southern Company Services no longer exists. The parent company, the Southern Company, has absorbed that entity into other branches of the company. Members of the inner management circle involved with the sex for jobs prostitution ring either retired or were absorbed elsewhere. That problem no longer exists since Southern Company Services no longer figures into the equation. Employment has been hard for the last 20 years. I found a fairly good temporary job with the U.S. Census in 1990 and 2000. 2010 is close. In 1991, I found a great job with the Cookeville newspaper and worked there until the paper closed in 1995. Since 2002, I have worked at a dead-end job for Goodwill. Since they started closing the small town stores like Dyersburg, Tennessee, that will probably end. The worse news came five years ago when I realized that I had lasted longer than Southern Company Services and that the black listing was off. I started looking for a real job again and realized that there aren't any. There are no engineering jobs out there, especially if you have not worked in twenty years. The thing that really drives this home is the number of college graduates that I work with at Goodwill. I am not talking about the ones who are criminal offenders. It is just people whose jobs went away. If there aren't any jobs, then there isn't any American Dream. Negative Attitudes Sam Aurelius Milam III People sometimes ask me, when we encounter one another, how I'm doing. I get a certain amount of enjoyment from making wise cracks like, "I'm still waiting to get rich!" or "I'm not rich yet!" Occasionally, some nitwit will reply, "Money won't make you happy!" or "What would you do with it anyway?" What stupidity! First, how do the nitwits know that it wouldn't make me happy? Maybe because it hasn't made some other people happy? So what? Maybe I'm smarter than those other people. Maybe I can utilize wealth better than they did. Besides that, I'm already happy. Making me happy isn't the point. Why not also be rich? Not only that, there are lots of things that I'd be able to do with the funds. Most or all of those things would make me happy. I'd be able to afford ink cartridges when I needed them. When I wanted to go somewhere, I'd be able to ring my little silver bell and tell Jeeves to ask Cadwalladar to fire up the Hummer or the limousine. I'd be able to buy that private railroad passenger car that I've wanted for all of these years. I'd be able to buy residential lots and reverse-develop them. I'd be able to ride around town looking for homeless people to put through college. I'd be able to pay off the mortgages for various friends and members of my family. I'd be able to offer other assistance to them. I'd be able to scatter time capsules with seeds in them all over the continent.2 I could go over to the Safeway and anonymously give the little sweety at the cash register $1000 for the tenth customer to go past her cash register. I could throw $20 bills out the window, for people to find. I could buy a Beta videocassette recorder. I could buy some new videos and stop watching my present ones over and over and over again. I could visit friends and family (via Cadwalladar and the Hummer or the limousine) that I haven't seen for years. I could afford to get a crown on my broken tooth. Being rich wouldn't make me happy? I wouldn't have anything to do with the funds? What rubbish! Stupid people with negative attitudes are very annoying.
