Dear trog,
Thought experiments are one of my favorite things, but the bitch of them
is that they leave me answerless most of the time. I try to think too
logically with too little information, and we all have too little info.
People who have faith are lucky b/c they always have that single
answer to go back to and nothing else matters if they believe deeply
enough. Everyone else makes up their own things that matter or just
realize that nothing really matters at all. It all depends on your own
measuring stick and what it is that you are measuring. Luckily our brains
are better at drowning out details instead of constantly thinking or we
might just go insane.
You say God is "perfect" by definition. Well, that's pretty and maybe
even it's true, and I've even thought myself that way before, but what the
heck is that anyway? Wouldn't it be defined a little or a lot differently
for each and every person and thing, or is it limited to people thoughts
and just our very simple, constantly changing human language and ethical
standards? I see perfect describing all kinds of things other than God,
and I don't know what the heck it is. The perfect day for a lion is not
the perfect day for the zebra it just ate, but it does keep the world
moving perfectly the way it has evolved using what appears to be random
chance and circumstance.
Oh yeah, I've got issues with the one lifetime thing too. Seriously, I get a max of about 100 years out of a supposed eternity to decide my fate for the rest of it? That's a bum deal! I'm sorry, but a book isn't enough proof for me, and if there is a God I really hope he can understand that my simple brain won't accept that. Life and what I think of it is more proof, of which "the book" is a part, but again that just tells me it's a bum deal if I only get 100 years max to decide my fate for eternity. Then again don't none of us make the rules, we were all just born into them and have to play by them in any way we choose.
I'm going nowhere really with this, just wanted to chime in and write a bunch of stuff not many will read so caribe will grow closer to me. I need friends in Hell just in case that's where I end up! I plan to lead a revolt
against injustice if I end up in either Heaven or Hell! I figure if I wouldn't leave anyone hangin to suffer forever then certainly no God I would
hope to believe in would. If he would, then I would call him the devil anyway. No offense intended!
The end.
