I'm so good I am Zen.

Good according to whose standard? Yours or Gods?

I am my own worse critic. 😉

This reeks of passivity! Clearly I am a new style of Zen Master.😵

My dog is a far better master of Zen than you are.

Dogs are good, but cats are better. 😉

Cats don't really have Zen.

They're just inscrutable and get by on that alone.

Madam, look at my avatar and tell me again that cats don't have Zen.

Good is as good does.

The road to hell is paved with what now?

Are good people good enough for your god? Despite their beliefs.

No, they bond. Or they would not be here anymore.

"The road to hell is paved with what now?"

Good intentions. That doesn't mean good intentions are bad, it's just that they won't keep one from going to hell.

"Are good people good enough for your god?"

No. Bad people are good enough. Jesus didn't come to save the righteous, but sinners.

"Despite their beliefs."

Because of their beliefs. There is only one way to God. Universalism Is on the broad way. The way to God is on the narrow path, and through the strait gate, which is Christ.

Matthew 7:14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

That's not Zen, that's just inscrutable. Ness. Or something.

LOL, indeed I just received a batch of my favourite American hops, Mosaic! It has scents of berry, herbs, tropical fruits, citrus fruits and pine. Personally I think its smells like tangerine, its lusciously fruity! After I brew up a batch anyone who tastes it will instantly become a poet! Its more like a love potion than a beer! Awooooooooo!
