Let's talk about God

Dude is a genius tbh

Which one? There are hundreds.

Oh, sorry, I'm wrong the Hindu's have 330 million gods. Good luck learning their names in one lifetime.

Everyone has their favorite and everyone thinks their religion is the true one and the only path to heaven.

Helping rich people means cajoling and bribing them. Helping poor people means inflicting pain until they conform to the standards hypocritically set up by the rich. If the proponents of spirituality are to be believed, then heaven only consists of rich people and those loyal to them. Again, why bother?

Let's talk about mankind

And why he doesn't seem to ever help people in need, especially children. Assuming mankind is real, how can he let people suffer so much? No loving race would do that. All the wars, murders, rapes and diseases and mankind barely lifts a finger to help anyone.

Religions always blame Satan for all the bad stuff but is mankind so weak that Satan seems to be winning? And don't come back with 'free will' because it's nowhere in the bible.

They also kill to make it so. How do you absolve them of that, other than to say: judge not?

And that's the sad part of religion. "My God Is better than your God. And I'll have to kill you to save you from being in the wrong religion ".

No, the sad part is that it is only second-order tribalism. There's no actual divine experience or yearning behind that attitude, and the willingness to trust that there is leads to a person becoming so injured that they cannot survive without the community. And that's the point. Given that not only is this how everyone operates, but that they have also brutally destroyed every alternative, to what exactly are you appealing to call it sad? People are being destroyed as groups because they wouldn't have it any other way, and wouldn't allow anyone else to either.

Which One died for you?

(you do have a point....after all, Elijah, from the Old Testament, challenged approximately 850 priests and their gods....)

it was riveting.

Lol. Takes One to know One.

How, pray tell, did you come to that conclusion?

Let me let you in on a secret. But you can't tell anyone okay?

God doesn't experience time the way we do. How quickly has 2 days gone by for you? 2 days goes by quick.

2 days ago in God's "time", Christ was getting nailed to the cross.

Less than 2 weeks ago in God's "time" he made Adam and Eve.

Since I've been born, something like 40 seconds have passed for God.

Are your arms broken? Have you been made mute that you can't speak out about these things? God empowers people to act.

When was the last time you prayed for a sick child or knelt in prayer for the betterment of yourself to be more open to the opportunities around you to do good?

Ora et Labora = pray and work. That is how God gets things done. He is not going to magically wave his hand and make us stop hurting each other. Free will and all of that. We have to do that.

your religion as Jesus taught is YOUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with the Indwelling Father.. and this must be concepted at some point.. religions are mind control mechanisms.. and nothing more.
And this guy is fake as shit.. OK.. it doesn't not exist. Hell does not exist...:NOT GOD:

God doesn't work like an omnipotent anthropomorphized overlord. God is a frequency one tunes in to. Do any of the trafficked children know how to feel anything but fear or any of the lower emotions/ negative vibrations?

Because karma and prana combine to conceptually excuse all inequality in the original way they are used. The argument is a vicious circle, and is meant to snare anyone engaging in it with a daisy chain of thought-killing cliches until they are exhausted and can be absorbed or exterminated. Moving on to the Buddhist, the desire to end inequality is then mae *the* cause of suffering, inverting cause and effect while accusing its victims of doing the same.

The major modes of spirituality have had thousands of years to effect even a local enlightenment, and have failed miserably. Either that is because they don't work, or because they weren't intended to work, just to humor people until this brief lifespan is over. Sure, it's negative and nihilistic, but those are ultimately just slogans and smears for people who stop playing ball once the same personality has monopolized every other way of doing things.

Is my heart failing? Then why spend the rest of my life reading texts that give bad advice? Am I dying? Then why spend the rest of my life listening to those fanatics and hardened liars who took so much of it away by force and fraud? Selfishness and malice are not the same thing. And I'm definitely not an evil person. So why bother?

Who?

Like I said free will is nowhere in the bible. It's always used as an excuse for God not helping anyone.

Didn't they *choose* precisely this life? Or wasn't it the result of karma from a previous one?

As with the original complaint by the OP original poster. You are correct.

Cop a clue Bones....

The Mirror Principle

[link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

God does not die.

NOPE. urantia cult is mind control mechanisms...and nothing more. this must be concepted at some point.

The urantian gawd is what is fake as shit. along with his fake multiple sons that do not exist. Hell most certainly does exist.


THIS IS NOT GOD

You need to establish that this 'mirror principle' isn't inverting cause and effect. Someone horrifically harms a baby; are you saying that the baby's mental state brought it on? It would seem that abuse creates a negative mental state, rather than corresponding to it. It would also seem that this would be an argument favored by abusers who need a new argument as to why they are allowed to inflict violence on people.

I have said nothing, the author is in the video. The mirror in this case genius is mankind to mankind.....

The original OP is complaining about God, God does not do these things mankind does.

So the mirror here is obvious if you see, you do not see.

Yeah, the subject of Psalm 18 and 2 Samuel 22. I *get* it. Kind to the kind, cruel to the cruel, shrewd to the clever, etc. The viewpoint of the shudra class is not included in the Vedas; the viewpoint of the Canaanites is not included in the Bible, etc. The complaints against the group are deferred to God, and then the fact of it being a complaint is called blasphemy. Inverting cause and effect strike me as an incredibly useful strategy for group control, especially where a hierarchy is involved.

But are those members at the top of the hierarchy accountable? Because religion would have us believe they are accountable to God, and that is where the genuine blame comes in. Shouldn't God respond faster than the courts do, and with absolutely no injustice whatever?

One can complain to whomever as long as however about the damn moving shadows on the pool bottom in otherwise still water.

You can get really pissed at the person or thing making the shadows on the pool bottom until you realize it is you making the shadows by disturbing the waters or fabric of life..

Ripple Reflections #2 With Joy

Your ripples count make the right ones with love.......

When or where or who established the God we are talking about in this thread? Did You? I did not.

Many consider themselves undeveloped Gods.

Translation: "The way *we* do things is nature itself, against which your actions and even your existence present an alien, unnatural intrusion." Tribalism in a nutshell. Which would be fine, since I could always bring my business elsewhere. But the business of tribalism is slavery, and the purview of tribalism's God is the universe. I wonder how many objectively good people have been hounded to death by people claiming to be their reflection, mocking them like in "A Cask of Amontillado" for reasons which are very earthly and material.

All known gods have a domain. They control something. Usually someone. Energy and thus status being conserved, who is made a slave or subhuman so that someone else can be a god?

Listen to your complaint. You have never been outside of the Universe in thought. This is one of countless Creations. You chose to be here against the Father's will. So grab your balls and stop the phucking denial and belly aching.

IF IT IS SO PHUCKING BAD, FIX IT!

You get home the only Way I know through the Christ. The Christ knows the Way, make His Way your Way.
