We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

To believe that two contradictory religions are both true is like saying, “2+2=4, or 5, or 37, or whatever you like.” To believe all religions simultaneously is to become hopelessly entangled in self-contradiction. One simply cannot accept the Hindu belief that there are 3000,000 or more gods and at the same time accept the Muslim belief that there is only one god. Nor can one embrace either Hinduism or Islam and Buddhism because historic Buddhism does not believe in a personal God at all. Or consider the religious opinions about the afterlife. Shintoism says there is no afterlife, just the here and now, so make the most of it. Buddhists seek Nirvana, the complete absence of desire. Christianity teaches that heaven is a place where all pure desires are satisfied in Jesus Christ (Rev. 22:4). Who is right? If there is a heaven at all, does it negate or satisfy desire? Opinions about judgment differ as well. Christianity teaches that “man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment” (Heb. 9:27). Hindus believe in a seemingly endless series of reincarnations. Well, which is it? Both views cannot be true.

Fasting, if we conceive of it truly, must not…be confined to the question of food and drink; fasting should really be made to include abstinence from anything which is legitimate in and of itself for the sake of some special spiritual purpose. There are many bodily functions which are right and normal and perfectly legitimate, but which for special peculiar reasons in certain circumstances should be controlled. That is fasting.

This is from the profile of Ken Bergeron in the Fall issue of Vegetarian
Gourmet.  It's big--two of these would be enough for a party of at least a
couple dozen--it's yummy, and the hardest part is finding the graham
crackers (see below).
  NOTES:
1. soy milk (You can use any flavor for this, though I've only used a 50/50
blend of vanilla and plain.  I think all vanilla would be too intense and
carob wouldn't go well with the chocolate.)
2. arrowroot or cornstarch (I've only used arrowroot--I think cornstarch
would give a grainy texture.)
3. vegan chocolate chips  (I can't get Barat chips in this shitty town, but
Sunspire are plenty good.)
4. maple syrup (He says you can use any other liquid sweetener, but I
haven't tried. Brown rice syrup would be my second choice.)
Instructions: Bring 6C soymilk to a low boil, stirring often to prevent a
skin from forming.  Reduce to a simmer.  Disolve arrowroot in reserved
soymilk and add to the pot. Add all remaining ingredients except nuts and
crackers and heat through until you have a well blended chocolate pudding.
Stir in 1 1/2C walnuts. Cover the bottom of a 13"x9"x2" baking pan w/a
layer of pudding and cover w/a layer of crackers. Layer remaining pudding
and crackers and garnish w/remaining nuts. Chill at least two hours before
serving.
Note: It's a serious bitch finding vegan graham crackers as every major
brand has sugar and most 'natural' brands have honey.  It's an even bigger
bitch finger *kosher* vegan graham crackers.  There's one brand I've got a
couple times in OR, but in this urban desert I've often come to the verge
of karate kicking down a store shelf in frustration. Anyone got a graham
cracker recipe?
