SALVATION

What is the big deal with Salvation? Some religions seem obsessed with it. But what if there isn’t any salvation? What if God just gives us the gift of life for a time and then takes it back? Aren’t we being just a little bit greedy (and ungrateful) in wanting the gift of life to be permanent? Maybe it’s not. Maybe our obsession with Salvation is just a waste of time. Maybe we should just go smell the flowers, hug our kids, kiss our spouses, play with our dogs and thank God for His gift of life. It reminds me of a line in one of Kurt Vonnegut’s novels  - “He was grateful that he was some of the mud that got to sit up and look around…” Why isn’t that enough for us? Why do we want more?
