If God is an all-powerful He or She, then it does appear that God, from the human point of view at least, is pretty fucked up. But if God = the highest universe value, then I would say that " God " is love since Love IS the highest universe value. How do I know this? I don't. That's just what my experience tells me, that's all. The idea of God picking out some people to be " saved " while He lets others drown either in the tsunami or in their own inner juices, IS pretty hideous, I agree. In that situation, God needs more than divine Viagra. I would recommend about 225 mg. of Effexor, b/c it sounds like that God must be pretty depressed. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
