Yes, that's why there are african children crawling through sand in dire attempts to find food, eating soil mixed with water. Over time their stomachs bloat from hunger and their eyes become ridden with parsitic worms, larvae and flies until they perish without having really lived at all. I think god is dealing out a really fair deal, praise the lord.

Yes in the long run.

so far I have seen people, who have done bad things, and they either didn't receive what they deserve, or they didn't receive nothing at all. Moreover, I have been told of very good people to die young and with suffering from diseases.

According to Christianity billions of people deserve to burn and to be forever tormented in hell. Christians generally think that this is ok since Jesus was such a nice guy. Go figure.

I consider myself agnostic and do not rule out the idea of a God even if I don't believe in a caring God. However, I do have some belief in karma in that I find that if you try to always be nice, people will be nice back. However if you're a complete arsehole, chances are you will get shit upon. As for children dying in Africa, being born with genetic conidtions etc., that is my top reason for not believing in a caring God. If there IS a God who is bothered about us, the following song sums up my feelings

Children in India and Asia who are sold into slavery by their parents, abducted from the streets or stolen from hospitals at birth and then have their faces and bodies disfigured by their gang member captors (tipping acid on their faces, amputating healthy limbs etc).

All so that they can gain more sympathy, and thus make more money, when they are forced to beg on the streets.

You think those kids get what they deserve?

That would be a beautiful world to live in, but it doesn't explain why psychopath are so successful in life and charisma.

I obviously know no psychopaths, as I've seen other bad people shit upon.

[wowser]

Yes, but not necessarily whilst you are alive

I'm sorry I'm having trouble parsing that, could you elaborate?

What I mean is that I have seen no really bad people who are charming like the psychopaths you point out to me so obviously so far, I've been lucky enough not to run into one...or maybe I have but just don't know about their hobby of strangling people and dumping the bodies. :p I have seen bad people get a good dose of karma though admittedly in the majority of cases, said people had no charm.

Two men build a ship one of stones the other of glass, yet one the other neither or both may reach the stars let alone for the start

The faster they build the faster they go but it so seems that recurring patterns emerge and apparent stationarity occurs in which looping behavior may take place.

What I'm trying to say is that In my books the times someone wins or loses depends on factors outside of god's intervention. But everyone tends to attribute fault or credit to god and of course everyone is trying to establish a direct link to gain indirect influence and start a positive feedback cycle.

I personally do not look for minds souls nothing, and it is inconsequential the outcome of any eventuality.


From my perspective it does seem like people would rather not be people if they knew what people truly were. But again as for me I personally do not care.

And of course when anyone with even a glance of insight makes a minor nod like a "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" or something some grasp the meaning of it and to others it may appear as if it simplifed too much such as to debase the sacred.

[steampoweredgod]

The moment man learns to build an angel man abandons the angels, the moment man builds an archangel man abandons the archangels, the moment man learns to build a living omnipotent god man abandons god, and if man may learn of ways to gain equivalent powers he will do as he pleases with or without god and be worshiped by many as a god himself.

Many people just want the love and protection to know they're safe while getting away with whatever they do by saying a minor sorry and not being held accountable for their actions, but that implies a state of ignorance the more aware one becomes the more the weights of the sins cast on one, until one realizes that ignorant sheep eating sheep and praying for sheep's meat in sheep's cloathing is nothing more than an absurdity, and yet that is what most desire, so it is that they would rather remain ignorant and die then learn that they've been eating sheep all along will only increase their rate of consumption through time.

[Valkyrie]

thats deep!

[aleelc]

Considering how people believe that God has a reason for everything, it would automatically mean that God gives what is due to a person, or at least what is due at this very moment. And though things are to be changed by the way you actually believe in the powerful being, it would still be very important to still go about your roots thinking of what those reasons are for you to come back to it.

[Elus]

Yes in the long run.

These sinning babies got what was coming to them, didn't they? Get the hell out of here with your poisonous idiocy and hateful ideology.

God does not exist. As soon as a character has been applied the thing no longer is all encompassing or omnipotent.

The Infinite is something to resonate with and pray to.

But A version of god is not.

The version of god in the old testament is too dark, gloomy, guilt inducing, fear inducing, and boring, and life nullifying. What day is this old testament god worshipped on? Saturday? What planet is connected to saturday? Saturn. What are the attributes of Saturn? It's color is black, it is a deep, dark, controlling god, that never has any fun and only induces guilt. Look this up and verify the multi-culture descriptions of this planet.

Christianity says they worship the sun, but they are so mangled that they do not have a true description of their god. It all is from the old testament and thus still saturn with some new attributes to try to fool the people, such as forgiveness and some sun attributes. But the heart is still the dark gloom of saturn worship and connection.

I say take your power back. Uninvite this wrong planet's influence on your life. And connect with Jupiter.

Jupiter is the god of good spirits. Jovial is from latin Jove for Jupiter. He is a King that teaches his people and doesn't reprimand them for their wrongs. He is so confident and knowing that he doesn't need to get jealous of other gods, because he is the King God.

If you want to connect to a planet's influence to the ultimate source and the Infinite do it through a more life benefiting planet such as Jupiter, or Venus. But our western society has been pummeled into this fear lifestyle of Saturn worship.

A new day has to come and we need to change our focus and awareness to a better planet.

Jupiter forever!
