Religion & Spirituality - 1 December 2006

Accepting the idea that there is a God who is:

a. Omnipotent
b. Omniscient
c. Immortal

You have to accept a few other things also. There is nothing that you do that he didn't know you'd do before he'd even created you. In fact, there is no variable to who you are because God created you in a way that would end up with X result. So the whole concept of freewill goes out the window.

There is no way that you could please this God, because there is nothing that you can do that will benefit him or surprise him in anyway. He basically made you to end up with X result.

Christians often talk about how they had a laugh with their God for X reason, but the reality is that there isn't a joke God hasn't seen or already heard. In fact, considering the repetitiveness of human nature, the joke you thought was funny, was probably one he heard or seen a million times before. Jokes get old.

has anyone heard of the allegory of an angel who fell from heaven with 1/3 of angels because he wanted to like God? Where did this myth come from?

Why is it a sin to want to be like God? Isn't it flattering to God that we should strive to be like Him? To endeavor to highest potentials.... isn't that NOBLE, not sinful!?

There are histories that say that God has a huge name so that no person might say it in vein, what if all of the God people currently worship are one in the same? Allah, YHVH, YHWH, Elohim, Jehova, Jesus, and the others. They all teach the same basic message.
Look into the movie Pi and you might see where I came up with this.

Is Democracy something blood soaked Muslims and Islamic Fascists are not ready for, NOR interested in, NOR sane, rational, fair minded, and literate enough to even consider exercising, like free thought or free choice?

Islam is a religion of mind numbing control, disturbing abuse of women intellectually and physically, mayhem, murder, suicide, hell death and the grave.

Democracy requires education and a slightly evolved human spirit.

It seems from what we see, Muslims will NEVER be ready for democracy, not in this century ... or the next?

Until EVERY Jew is dead and every American in that order...then the Brits, perhaps then the Local Muslim Warlord might allow elections so the region under his control can do ... what else?

Vote for his brother !!

This is acutally a question concerning morality. In my awfully little mind (in comparison to God), I may feel that that His laws (10 commandments) are not exactly set in stone. They possibly couldn't be! Or else I think the 10 commandments are too terse, too concise, and does not account for exceptions and strange situations. I won't bring in examples because I don't want to veer the conversation to a specific topic.

This is a general question on our understanding of morality : either as black and white or not bifurcated like that, but gray.

Does God see morality as Gray? or black and white? Thus, can we ever comprehend the intellect of God and all that He is?
