These writings were very interesting to me. "The Messiah will come only when he is no longer necessary." This is profound for how many times do we need something and we find a way to do with out then it appears. In times like these a enjoy in the humor of God. How funny he is.
I would have to agree to his idea that humans have two great sins, both lead to the one, impatience. I never thought about how to return or if we can. Could it be that simple. I am a very impatient person and it has been a great challenge for me this Lenten season to work on this one. I have fallen off my path of calm behavior as did Jesus with His cross. Impatience has kept me from finding peace and that could be what happened in the Garden. Due to thier impatience they lost peace.

The idea of God as being this lighthearted trickster, hiding car keys and snickering while you search them out seems a bit egotistical. God acting as someone's personal jester, while letting 800,000 people get hacked to death in Rwanda or drowing in sunami waves seems the epitome of absurdity. Maybe perhaps absent-mindedness, cruelty and ingnorance, and sisemic activity are more plausible explanations. :)
