AM Static Jesus: Day 3...or 12

So I need to start out first by saying that I have no clue yet who this voice is. I'm only referring to him as AM Static Jesus for now because it seemed funny at first. But now even that is weirding me out.

The radio is freaking gone. Burnt spot gone. Voice is silent for 10 days straight. 

Now I'm questioning the entire experience. Maybe it's some random fugue state like Breaking Bad.

I'm sitting in my basement, putting some product stuff together for this small batch skin care thing I'm doing. 

"Hey Google. Play some music."

Weird but familiar new wave 80's keyboards. Google is playing "Are you Ready" by Degarmo & Key. 

Weird. 

"Hey Google. Skip song."

INXS - Not Enough Time

Skip.

Johnny Cash - Hurt.

Skip.

U2 - The Wanderer (lyrics follow & worth a read)

I went out walking

Through streets paved with gold

Lifted some stones, saw the skin and bones

Of a city without a soul

I went out walking

Under an atomic sky

Where the ground won't turn and the rain it burns

Like the tears when I said goodbye

Yeah, I went with nothing

Nothing but the thought of you

I went wandering

I went drifting

Through the capitals of tin

Where men can't walk or freely talk

And sons turn their fathers in

I stopped outside a church house

Where the citizens like to sit

They say they want the kingdom

But they don't want God in it

I went out with nothing

Nothing but the thought of you

I went wandering

I went out walking

Down that winding road

Where no one's trusting no one

And conscience a too heavy load

I went out riding

Down that old eight lane

I passed by a thousand signs

Looking for my own name

I went with nothing

But the thought you'd be there too

Looking for you

I went out there

In search of experience

To taste and to touch

And to feel as much as a man can

Before he repents

I went out searching

Looking for one good man

A spirit who would not bend or break

Who would sit at his father's right hand

I went out walking

With a bible and a gun

The word of God lay heavy on my heart

I was sure I was the one

Now Jesus, don't you wait up

Jesus, I'll be home soon

Yeah, I went out for the papers

Told her I'd be back by noon

Yeah, I left with nothing

But the thought you'd be there too

Looking for you

Yeah, I left with nothing

Nothing but the thought of you

I went wandering.

I sat in silence. Nothing else played from the speaker. 

I don't want this. 

The cost is too high

They won't understand.

I'll be even more alone. 

This isn't exactly some clear sign. My sign should be written by a floating finger on the wall. 

Weighed. Measured. Lacking. 

That's my sign. 

Twitter notifications now distract me. I start reading through various tweets when something catches my eye.

A girl has literally called several people stupid for believing in the Bible. She just equated Jesus to Santa Claus. A completely mythological figure. 

Wonder Twin Powers, activate. 

Form of a critical thinker & bucket of water. 

I pop into the thread jovially and asked if she really thought Jesus was completely mythological. 

She affirmed only a fool would believe anything but that. I asked if I could make an attempt, but with one caveat. 

I could not use the Bible as a source. 

"I'm going to use an atheist, organic chemistry & a science experiment from 1801 to shake up your world view. Just giving you a heads up "

I used the writings and speeches of NT Professor Bart Ehrlman from North Carolina. He is also an atheist who admits something funky happened with the post-crucifixion. 

Now to organic chemistry. There is zero percent chance that life started via abiogenesis. Less chance than you finding one specific grain of sand hidden somewhere in the world. 

I point to another university professor's speech on why is impossible without some kind of intelligent power.  Organic chemistry cannot be the answer. 

I then point to the Double Slit science experiment from 1801. Here's the headline. 

Thinking about knowing the results in the past, present or future changes the results of the experiment. Regardless of distance or time. Your consciousness has an unknown effect on matter. It may be an unknown fundamental force of the universe. 

Therefore, if energy cannot be created or destroyed, if consciousness is an energy that can provably interact with matter...

it increases the chances exponentially that all of this... life.... experience... it means something. 

If something cannot come from nothing, if there is an intelligence (DNA is like  freaking computer code on another level), it might be worth looking at other human experiences. 

There's only one who has fundamentally shaped human history. Only one with an outrageous claim too crazy to be made up. There's not an example I can name in the Bible where a teaching or prophecy was ever understood even by those who heard it. 

And if he's historical, and if all of the other stuff above is correct, perhaps you are not. 

After it was done and sent, I swore I heard a deep almost quick giggle. 

She only replied back "I need to rethink some stuff" & I never heard from her again. 

But I'm pretty sure the Voice knew all of this and approved of the approach. 

Proving Jesus without using the Bible. Fun stuff. But damn, it felt good. And useful. 

Google suddenly starts playing Jaded by Aerosmith right as I'm thinking to myself -  "Why can't I connect with more people these days?"

I guess Google does know. 

It just gets weirder every day.

And after the day came nothing.
