MEET HAMSTER

   Hamster spends his days running in a wheel.  He never advances and he never looks back; always running, but never arriving. 
   Hamster does not know how he arrived in a wheel, to live his life there.  He never asks, he never questions, and his day today is no different than yesterday, but he does not know that his day tomorrow will be no different than today.
   Hamster is all dressed up to go nowhere, yet he believes he is on his way.  As long as he stays on the path that is set before him, he will arrive in the place of his destiny---as soon as he dies.
   Hamster's mind has been programmed to be everything he believes he is, and to be no more; for his mind has been programmed to never ask, to never question, to never look back, to never consider the purpose of his own existence, and to never research the history of his own belief. 
   Hamster sees others looking at him, and he likes that.  He likes to be the center of attention.  He likes for others to listen to him.  He likes for other to watch him as he lives his life, running the path, and he likes to think:  if others could only see me now.
   Hamster swings his golf clubs the same way he swung yesterday and for always, but his game score never improves.  This never bothers him, for his life is all about spinning in the wheel.  In his mind, he knows everything he needs to know about golf, and therefore there is nothing new that he should know. For him, it is being seen  that matters, not his swing---and certainly not his score; for him, that is all he needs to know.
   Hamster still likes the things that children like.  He likes Santa Claus, he likes the Easter bunny, and he likes stories that do not challenge his mind; for he is not supposed to think independently, nor to stray from the path he is running.
   Hamster's pace never changes.  If he runs too slow, his past will catch up with him.  If he runs too fast, he will arrive in the future, which is a strange land.  His pace, therefore, is always the same, for Hamster lives in a present state of mind.  He is, after all, running in place because his mind never changes.  He has no concern for his past, and he is not worried about the future. 
   Hamster says he believes in a place called Heaven, yet he has no interest in telling others about this place, nor does he desire to share with others the way to get there.
   In the spinning wheel, Hamster is a prisoner to his religion---while not knowing that his religion is a creation from the imaginations of men. 
   Being deceived, he believes his religion has covered his sins as he also believes his religion has secured his future.  He has no knowledge of God, or knowledge of Christ, because his mind has been filled with the knowledge of religion, which is the knowledge of men.  Therefore, Hamster spends his days running toward an imaginary heaven that will not be there when he dies, for neither does he have any knowledge of the Bible.
      "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world though him might be saved."  (John 3: 16-17)
