hahaha, think larger. God has this experiment going on with 500,000,000 planets just in our galaxy alone. That is the estimated number of exo planets, last I heard. That gives her a much broader case study than you propose. Think infinite patience and infinite pools of subjects. That's more of the real picture.

Precisely. Its the "Universal" picture.
God doesn't need to destroy mankind. Mankind is doing it to themselves.
Neglection primarily caused by greed is killing our planet.

If you believe in reincarnation then yes, God will "reboot", he does it every time someone dies. In the next life you won't be human, you'll be some other form of life, a clean slate ready to experience another viewpoint within this beautiful universe.
I always enjoy your posts, S&F.

at the end of the day...it MUST be about you somehow?
that belief hasn't ended and will probably continue one for thousands of years.

Are you familiar with the term 'Singularity', and the book, ' The Singularity Is Near'? If so, how might this tie into your question? If not, you might read the book - I'd be curious to know your thoughts. One day, not too far from now, humans will be hybrid techno-humans. Chip implants, etc. Our very ideas related to what it means to be human will change. Will this give 'God' a new, creative, Self-expression playing field?

Hello again my friend
Excellent post.
My short answer is yes - we exist in an endless cycle of reboots in an amazingly bewildering array of incarnations.
Where we are in this current cycle in this particular quantum universe is unknown.
On the one hand, we may as well just enjoy the ride. On the other, I believe we have an obligation, no - an imperative, to try and understand the deeper truths that underlie our reality. And I bet you know why.
Riffrafter: We've reached a very interesting point in human history. The incredible advances in science are veering us harder and harder towards the metaphysical regardless of how much the "hard science" luddites are trying to push it back. No matter, the truth will wash over them (or run them over in the street) regardless. Reality has a habit of doing that. And the pace is accelerating.
Additionally, more & more people are starting to sense that there is much more to this existence. And it has nothing to do with organized religion for the most part. Some slightly and gently, others more directly - even forcefully.
Riffrafter: I have not posted much in the past few months. Much has transpired with me during that time.
On the metaphysical front, it's very difficult to articulate for the most part - or maybe more accurately, for most parties. On the physical front - well, it's difficult for me to say. How's that for mincing words?
What I can say is that the "difficulty" on the physical front only goes so far. And there are more than a few others who feel the same way. Should things begin moving too far in a nasty direction, Snowden's revelations will be but a light breeze before a major storm. Your choice of words re: tipping point is very interesting. I like it as it fits on so many levels. Synchronicity is a wonderful thing...
Riffrafter: I struggled a little about posting this. But then I figured - aw, f#ck it. I think it's time for all of us to live a little dangerously - don't you?I hope this finds you well.

To many of us, God is a lifeline that keeps us from drifting into spiritual oblivion.
We all deserve peace of mind, but delusion can be quite seductive.
We need to understand that Nature has no use for morals.
Virtue and sin are of no consequence.
Until and unless we rise above our Nature,
God awaits our ascension.
