X The Known.....

>>There is, imo, no problem of good and evil- there is a problem for US when our desires to see our needs satisfied by the universe are not met. If we can understand that we are not here to be satisfied by the universe (I know this is a BIG step, and this is the place in the human heart most religions fill) it might help people. It is the way for me- but it may not be the way for everyone. Some people, as I already said, may simply not be wired for any way but the religious way- if that is true, it is hardly fair to criticize them for conforming to biology, any more than it would be fair to criticize or commend me for the way I am. >>

This is great!

You are a special, incredble, wonderful, fantastic, loving, caring, giving, forgiving, great child of the Living God who is the Father of ALL of us in Heaven.

He is the light, energy, wind and Love beneath your X-Wings!!

And it doesn't matter what I say, do or feel or what anyone else says, does or feels, or what you say, do or feel.

For there are NO mediators!!

Reality isn't a vicarious experience.

The Living God of our universe is INSIDE YOU and all around YOU!!

You are X THE KNOWN!!!

AND NO NUMBERS!!

And this really took a LOT of His will power!!

--What if the universe just is? --

that's what i happen to believe; that ultimately, everything simply 'is' but is neither 'good' nor 'bad'

i was just throwing out a christian apology for the good/evil conundrum as dictated by their theology...
