If energy does you, and does all for you (that would be all knowing, wise and willing energy indeed), then you should bow to energy and say thank you, Energy is your god!! As for me, God, The Almighty, created every single bit of power that defines energy.. I bow to Him, He is my God Nice talking to you.
I gave myself peace, and self worth. I created myself, no one else. 'God' gave me free will, and I use that to choose to not worship him. He doesn't give me much to worship anyway.. if God made man in his image then how can he be greater? He controls only that which is willing to be controlled. Okay, so if God created man, then why did he create animals and plantlife? Specifically, why did he create animals and plant life that do not benefit us as a spieces? We are only a dominant species because we made ourselves that way, we worked our way to the 'top' by creating weapons and protection, without those things then our spiecies would have died out a long long time ago... I'm pretty certain God didn't make it rain guns and machines. Think how much the human species has grown (population wise) within the past few hundred years, because of technologies, medicine, weaponary, our numbers would be much lower otherwise - things that WE created, not God.
You mean natural selection, to the top of the biological ladder? Weaponry! human used it not to dominate other species, themselves basically! besides, God created you with a brain, we were on top from the start, we were made (with all our natural instincts) to dominate, other species to be dominated by us (including animals and plants), earth with us all, will eventually come to an end, no more prophets will come to tell the message, we are living the last chapter of the book of life!! Ok why did WE not create the oxygen system?! the day and night's? We still need to eat, and we still need to get some out through the intestine!! We are not perfect, neither this life is!
That makes no sense. we weren't created to dominate, animals & plants have just as much right to be here as we do, and we aren't the only spicies with a brain.
Sure, we were created to dominate! We are the species who has the responsibility of believing and worshiping God by choice, Animals, Plants, planets, mountains, seas, skies and all other creatures they are already willingly or not willingly surrendering to The God's will, we are the species with the responsibility and honor too!!
When you read my words, what is the god in your mind? remember, I suggested you forget about any thoughts of god you met in the church or any book, make the universe your book, read with contemplation, wonder and ponder, could it happen all by chance, their must be a creator, knowing and wise creator (if you call the creator energy, energy with wisdom and all knowledge is god then, you will just be denying that energy has a creator who is the Wise and The All Knowing, God).
If other creatures weren't surrendering to The God's will, the sun wouldn't have to rise every morning, the cow wouldn't give milk by choice and so on!!
I see a man in the sky, watching all the pain and suffering go on in the world, whilst his head and ego continues to grow bigger because at least he's being worshiped, because thats what he wants, passing everything off as his will, because he is the creator and that's all that matters. I see a man who has no love other than for himself, no sympathy other than to those who believe and obey...... no offense, just being honest... And nothing you say can or will change how I imagine God..
He is not a man ( He is not literally in the sky). He sent guidance with messengers people can follow with for good life here and here after. Imagine this life with no pain, no suffering, humans with no mistakes and everything is peaceful..! this wouldn't be the life we know, this can't apply in this world. it is paradise different rules, different system. no hunger, no sweat, all wishes, peace and more... God promised the believers to end up there.. He is All Good, All Merciful... All Beautiful.. know Him better, do not hate Him.
Imagine yourself born in a perfect world, knowing nothing about imperfection, would you appreciate perfection!! would you appreciate beauty, if you didn't know ugliness, or life if no death or merci if no suffering!!
Okay so whilst I'm basking in paradise, the rest of the world will continue to suffer and hurt but I get to sit up in my castle or mansion with everything I desire because 'thats how it is' ? No thanks.
All those concepts are man made. Things are only ugly because of perception, some people will look at a slug (for example) and think its ugly whilst others will think its beautiful. Nothing to do with god, its all human perception.
You care for people, good, call them to God to be saved, to believe, no matter how hard this life is, it is coming to an end.. rich or poor, suffering or blessed with merci and grace will taste death.. will then in the day of judgment be divided into two groups, one in paradise and one in Hell. (Your choice and their choice), He is ultimately merciful though His punishment is the most hard. How can you deny and disobey the Great your whole life time, He blessed with eyes to see, with legs and feet to walk and more, gave a wife, maybe a daughter or a son, wealth and health, with all the denial and non-willingness to know Him better and to believe and surrender to Him, having no escape from Him, all this under estimation... and you deny His hard punishment in hell!! He is only hard on who he deserves... He is more merciful to His creatures than a mother to her beloved baby.
are man made in relation to reality, the language communication of our nature and the distinguishing built-in instinct of the meaning, and the acquired skill by experience and learning nature. would define good haven't got any knowledge what is bad?! stab with a dagger would seem beautiful to some and ugly to others!!
the suffering (which is doomed to an end anyway) of all humans, comes as one suffering in one person, one soul. anyone treat it differently, you may show sympathy and understanding, but what you feel is inside you alone you can not literally feel the pain of somebody else, even so close, you may feel a different pain not the same one. when you feel pain, it is not the collection of other people's pain, it your pain. the point is.. it one pain in all the world for every one... a pain that will soon come to an end.. if you choose.. it is the last of every bit of it.. and you will swear later you never tasted pain ever!
even poor people, with hunger and suffering have their good moments, nothing lasts in this life.. it either forgotten or dead with its holder! do not think that you are happier than the poorest person on earth, he or she could be happier!
Heaven and earth are perceptions. We believe to see, and see to believe. If you cannot find good then things do seem hellish. The thing that dispirits is denial of spirit, not what people do. Good behavior is not rewarded. Behavior, action is it's own reward as every action meets an equal and complementary, reaction.
You are mistaken, good behavior is rewarded as bad is met with penalty. Paradise is real, and hell is real. People can choose to do good or bad (if they forced to do, God still knows their intention and they will be judge according to it). Heavens and earths are the creation of The God who created everything.
