God is not an object. Life is not objective.
Or as my friend and bible mentor, Hezekiah Allcock (A.K.A. The Libertine) SAID:
"Your mind is too literal, objective,and must die to live because GOD is subjective and in the now and not in, you said, but in the, what do u mean.................... in the economy of the LORD?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,...............................i walk always in the cross fire of Divine and natural Eros & Agape Oikonomia...pick up your cross (death) and follow me.........that's the message sir."

"You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford...The happiness of London is not to be conceived but by those who have been in it. I will venture to say, there is more learning and science within the circumference of ten miles from where we now sit, than in all the rest of the world."
-Samuel Johnson
God save our gracious queen!
Long live our noble queen!
God save the queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the queen.

"I fell at once into a dream of Victory –
How she wallowed through Biscay,
With her battle-tatters smoking –
Then gave my signal for a change in nature.
At which she side-stepped her Channel lane,
Shimmied over the Hampshire hills,
Caught the surge of London,
And made fast to a spire of Westminster
Overlooking Trafalgar Square."

And never brought to min'?

And auld lang syne?..."
