Letter to the Editor

Bernie is such a friend to God and to the rest of us. He has been a loyal Heavenreader for over six years now. He is the first celebrity to reach a hand down to lift up an unknown Godwriter and Heavenletters. Bernie is tried and true and says things exactly as he sees them.

Here's Bernie's Letter to the Editor in response to an article in USA Today about God:

Dear Editor,

My God is intelligent, conscious, loving energy and not some identifiable being. The Creator is obviously intelligent because this universe could not be an accident. Just ask astronomers or astrophysicists what they think. Just move the earth a few hundred miles closer to the sun and we would be in big trouble.

Water is a prime example of the intelligence. Every liquid when frozen becomes denser and heavier except for water. It becomes lighter and ice floats. Who arranged that so our planet would survive as life is protected by the ice rather than displaced and frozen to death by it. Water also has the option of being gas, liquid or solid so our planet's needs are met.

Conscious because it involves choices and the ability to respond and change related to the conditions we are exposed to. Instead of the Biblical line there was the word, think about there was consciousness and consciousness was with God and consciousness was God.

Loving because the changes we are capable of making allow all living things to survive threats to their existence. Bacteria resist antibiotics and viruses resist vaccines by altering their genes. Plants survive droughts and parasites. We heal our wounds and resist disease too. Our Creator must have desired that we survive, so these abilities were built into us.

The energy had to be available to accomplish all these things and create life as we know it. Even if after seven days a rest was necessary.

The one question many ask is: If God loves us why didn't God make a perfect world? God's answer is that perfection is a magic trick and not creation. We are all participating in creation and really not prepared for perfection. We are here to live and learn and hopefully someday imitate God by showing compassion to each other and all living things so our lives will feel perfect due to what we have created thanks to God.

Bernie so magnificently has developed the logical side of God's Existence. Bernie has made it so clear that God, full of heart, is also absolutely brilliant.  God's mind and heart are inseparable.

God bless you, beloved St. B.
