That is at best a claim. What if I claim that good is the result of low human consciousness.
Then I would say that you are full of crap (even more than usual).
In my prior post, I suggested that these dunce-capped, bone-headed idiots...
...function at an extremely low level of consciousness which results in a hatred of black people and the committing of heinous acts such as this...
...and this...
So, please show me what exactly is
"good" about the low consciousness of racist white people?

The person who is all-wise has the right to be a good racist.
Apparently, bahman, you and I have a completely different interpretation of what being
"all-wise" means.
Stop making ridiculous statements.

You are equating ignorance with evil. Evil is permissible given the situation. Ignorance should be avoided at all costs.
No, bahman, I am offering a plausible explanation for the existence of so-called
"evilness" in humans.
And it is based on the proposition that humans are awakened into life on earth with an
"attenuated" level of consciousness that makes being a human feel
"natural" to us, as was pointed out to VA in an alternate thread...

It seems quite obvious (to me, anyway) that humans are born with what appears to be a
"fixed" [and attenuated] level of consciousness that makes being a human feel natural to us...
And that would be in the same way that cats or dogs, for example, are born with a
"fixed" [and even
more attenuated] level of consciousness that makes being a cat or a dog feel natural to
them...
Moreover, it also keeps us from noticing how utterly strange it is to be
topsy-turvy to each other while standing on a ball suspended in a vast spatial dimension...
I'm talking about a ball that not only flies laterally through space at approximately 67,000 miles per hour, but a ball upon which vast oceans, and huge human metropolises are spun around-and-around - (upside-down from each other) - in a
rotisserie cycle that only takes a mere
24 hours to complete.
It is all totally bizarre, yet humans are basically oblivious to what's really going on.
And the point is that the general level of consciousness that humans are
"programmed" to function at in order for our strange setting and circumstances to, again, feel
"natural" to us,...
...comes with the unfortunate by-product of causing many of us to be completely unaware (unconscious) of just how evil our actions can be.
For example, the state of mind of these folks,...
...who felt completely justified in murdering and mutilating Emmett Till (the 14 year old black child shown at the top of this post) because he allegedly "whistled" at the white woman on the right hand side of the above picture.
Sure, there may be an element of "ignorance" involved, but such cold-heartedness demonstrates a near animal level of consciousness and a firm residence on the
"basement rung" of the illustration I provided in a prior post, which, in turn, results in what we think of as
"evilness" in humans.
Indeed, this is all summed-up quite nicely in what Jesus allegedly uttered while dying on the cross:
"...Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do..."
By the way, the Adam and Eve story is nothing more than
mythological fantasy.
Furthermore, if you were hoping that Immanual Can was going to discuss the consequences of A and E's alleged sin in Eden, he has already stuck his foot in his mouth in an alternate thread by making the following statements to Belinda...

The present economic wealth of Europe and the US is founded upon and still benefits from the slave trade

Do you want to make children guilty for what their distant forefathers chose to do? In what court would that be considered "justice"?
You don't become guilty by being born. That's ridiculous...
...So I call "hogwash" on that.
Wow, that's one of the most brazenly hypocritical things I have ever heard a Christian say.
Indeed, you have just inadvertently (and correctly) admitted that the very premise upon which Christianity is founded...
(i.e., "original sin")
...is not only ridiculous, but "hogwash."
He, of course, tried to weasel his way out of that faux pas (but failed miserably).
