Good God

Post by Gary Childress »

And in the days when this was written, many were still recruiting God for personal favors. Back in the days before this was written this recruitment was done by killing live animals, human virgins, and other living things in order to show "worship" and "devotion". And like any good gangster boss or blood god, "God" provided his worshipers with favors both in peace and war. God "chose" them and shunned those who didn't worship him. And the ones who were "chosen" proclaimed that God was "good" because God favored them and the ones that weren't chosen protested, however, protesting against the might of God is hopeless.

Finally, God made it so that humans could design weapons of mass destruction. And God saw that this was "good" and said to himself, "this is good" and humanity was on the verge of destroying itself and every other living being on the planet.

In the days when this was written.

If in the days before this was being written, 'recruitment', itself, was supposedly done by killing live animals, (can one kill a dead animal? Or was the 'live' word just used here for emotive reasons?), human virgins, and other living things in order to supposedly show 'worship' and 'devotion' to what exactly?

Because you also claim that, in the days when this is being written, there were many so-called 'still recruiting God', for personal favors. you appear to be using the word 'recruitment' here in two completely different ways or scenarios. Are you able to explain this apparent inconsistency here? Or explain what I am missing or misunderstanding here?

Once again you are showing a complete misunderstanding of things here. However, when, and if, you also come to fully understand what the God word is referring to exactly, and what 'worship' actually means and refers to as well, then you will not come across as so lost and confused as you are doing here 'now', when this is being written.

1. God is not a 'him'. So, God cannot and would not shun those who do not worship some 'him'.

2. The rest follows naturally when, and if, you also come to understand, fully, who and what the word God is referring to, exactly.

There are none who were not chosen.

And, if anyone proclaim that 'they' were 'chosen', and "others" were not, then 'they' have absolutely no idea who and what God is, exactly.

'They' are just people who are scared and/or who have just been tricked, deceived, and/or fooled into believing an absolute misinterpretation of things here.

Within you human beings there is an ability to imagine, design, and/or create absolutely any and everything. you human beings have been blessed with this ability, which no other creature has. So, although you human beings can design weapons of mass destruction, there is absolutely obligation that you have to or even should. you have the absolute freedom to choose either way.

The reason why you human beings were left to choose and do whatever you like is because you learn best from and by your own mistakes/wrong doing.

But just like every older human being, individually, wishes they did things differently, the closer they get to 'death', so to will you human beings, collectively, wish you did things differently, in the days when this is being written, as you approach closer and closer every day to your own demise. However, the beauty of 'wishing' you, collectively, had done things differently is that, collectively, 'death' can be far into the future, and not so imminent as it is individually. Also, the longer human beings, collectively, have existed the far more there is to learn from, and by, their mistakes, and wrong doings.

Is when things can, and did, CHANGE.

'Thank God', as some might say.

There is only God which is just another word for everything. If the people of the world destroy themselves with nuclear weapons then that’s just everything destroying itself with nuclear weapons. That’s just the way it works, and could not happen any other way. If everything chooses to live in peace and harmony that’s everything living in peace and harmony, and this too will be what happens and could not have not happened.

I use a capital 'e' in 'everything', just to reinforce what is being referred to exactly.

See, there are human beings who think, and/or believe, that there is actually more than just One Thing. So, when the 'everything' word is used they conceptualize that what is meant is more than the One Thing.

But you, human beings, are not Everything. you are only a part of the One, Everything.

If you, human beings, wipe "yourselves" out, in any way, there will still be every thing "else", existing. Which, obviously, will be parts of the One, or Everything.

The only 'things' that can choose to live in peace and harmony or not are 'you', human beings. And, all human beings, besides 'you', adult human beings of course, want to and would love to live in peace and harmony. But children have absolutely no choice over how 'you', adult human beings, have created, and continue to create, the way 'life' and/or 'the world' is, exactly.
