Quote from vhehn:
he works exactly like we would expect if there were no god at all.
The alledged reality of this world would prove that God is:
A. Insane
B. Dead
C. Non-existent
Do not underestimate to what length the mind that makes this world will go to prove this. It makes bodies. It kills them. It matters not what day or age. If this world were real, God would indeed be cruel...hence, insane. Who punishes the body is insane. The body is made *for* punishment. The *innocent* are not at all exempt. If anything, they are targeted. The headlines would prove this if you would read between the lines.
The sane - those welcoming salvation - would recognize just how mad this world is...rather, just how unreal it must be. There is absolutely no truth in it whatsoever. Everything is an appearance propped up to decieve. Once you can understand that it is all about self-deception, you are well on your way home.
God is not welcome here. The body itself is a fence that would keep love out. Death is simply more proof that the fence works, making bodies safe from love. Bodies are extremely limited devices made to nail a byte of mind down to earth...where it is beset with a multitude of plagues and problems. Sickness and death *prove* the truth about God is untrue. The embodied mind is pounded down until it agrees that the symbols of hatred are actually "love". Rather, every aspect of this world is a form of vengeance...an attack on God.
Yet, all participants are equal to God. God is all there is. So it is a God-on-God attack, so-to-speak. Our Father does not return attack with attack. He does not respond to it except to save the warriors from themselves, whenever they are ready to lay down their arms. The fighting ones are hardly aware how much they *will* to fight, and how unwilling God is to overrule a will equal to his. The question then comes down to, *what do you want?* See how much you want this world...and then question why you seem to want it. Question everything about it. It is worthy of doubt.
