Sing along:
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I’m telling you why
God is coming to town
He’s making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice
God is coming to town
God sees you when you’re sleeping
God knows when you’re awake
God knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I’m telling you why
God is coming to town
Obviously these aren’t the lyrics to this well known song…but hang with me for a minute …I’ll explain where I’m going with this:
I think sometimes we can ‘rob’ God of the awesome power that God has…and we do this by ‘humanizing’ God.
We make God ‘in our image’ versus the opposite. We give God our human-like qualities and limitations like jealousy, judgment, and a plethora of other grossly limiting human characteristics – Just like Santa Claus.
One of the very first things I’ve learned in studying the Law Of Attraction is that it seems to break God out of the box (or chimney) we stuff God in. It shows that God is ALL-powerful and has unlimited ability to do any and everything.
You’ll notice I don’t refer to God as “he” or “him” because again…can I really put God in the ‘box’ of gender? I think God is so much larger than “a dude”.
The lyrics, “He’s making a list and checking it twice, Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice…” is a perfect example of what I’m talking about. God, being in the infinite entity of love isn’t sitting somewhere in the sky with a pimped-out laptop computer keeping tally of all the things you do good and bad; then making a ‘judgment’ call about great your rewards or how severe your punishment may be i.e sinning. That’s ridiculous.
What I see, in the plain of the singular energy (God), is that the energy you place out into the Universe is what you get. Because there is only the one source energy – God and we’re all a part of that same energy. We aren’t separate from God (nor each other).

So it’s impossible to look at ‘sinning’ in that way. I think sinning is an act of energy. You put energy out into the Universe and you get that same energy back. It’s just that simple. You do something “bad” like stealing, you’ll get that same energy back. Not necessarily someone stealing from you…but you’ll get back the energy of lack and limitation that stealing comes from. If you do something that helps the community, you’ll get back the energy of sharing, loving and abundance – period.
Everything else is made up constructs to create fear, limitations and control.
Practical Application
Think about how you are seeing God. Are you trying to stuff God into some cramped chimney? If so, you’re totally ripping God off of the awesome power that God really is.Let’s strive for an ‘inhumane’ God!!

I really do like this post.
Hay YOU better watch out! THis is like blasphemy!? You shouldn’t be making fun of God like that!!!!!!!!
Wow, man you really make a great point here. I can see exactly what you’re talking about and we don’t even realize we’re doing it.
Ryan – I disagree. If you really read the post, you’ll see that this isn’t saying anything bad about God. It’s actually the opposite!
When I heard the song at the begining, I was really wondering what you were trying to prove, but I do get your point.
It makes sense to me now 😉
this could be offensive to people. you shoudln’t make comments about god like this.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!! The paster at our church was just talking about this 3 days ago!
She said that we make God like us and we all know that we’re flawed and imperfect, but God is not.
wow… this is a great confirmation for me.
This is an absolutely amazing post! I appreciate your courage in saying this.
All I can say is Wow, Wow…and WOW.
I’ve just forwarded this to my ENTIRE contact list.
Agree with you on the concept on sin. There really is no sin…it’s all just a matter of how high the vibration is. Some things are higher than others.
In a weird moment of synchronicity, as I hit submit to the comment above, One Vision by Queen just came on iTunes…
Lyrice like:
No wrong no right,
I’m gonna tell you there’s no black and no white,
No blood no stain,
All we need is one world wide vision
http://www.lyrics007.com/Queen%20Lyrics/One%20Vision%20Lyrics.html has the rest.
I could see where this could be a problem for those who place God in a box. Although there actually are scriptures in the bible that state that your actions here on earth, the world that God created for us, will be judged and it will determine how you live in the eternal life.
I’ve been reading Purpose Driven Life–Rick Warren
really great book check it out.
I do believe that energy out equals the energy you get back. But I also know in the end God will have a say on what i did on earth.
God, the Infinite Source Energy from which we all came, is always in town. It is we humans, individualized sparks of our Source, who are in and out of town! Spark on. . . Charlsie
Hey Dave,
Glad to see the energy is flowing for you too.
By the way I love that Queen song! 🙂
Kevin,
I agree with you. However as I said in the post, I feel we all are living the consequences (both “good and bad”) of the choices we’ve made, but I don’t feel that it’s ‘judged’.
I don’t “disagree” with your statement…because that your belief. I don’t believe that God of pure love would ‘judge’ anything we do.
