I find the idea that god has a consiousness, like the one we all tend to assume (based on the knowledge and exeriences of our own) to be the biggest
hurdle i have in trying to think about questions of these sorts. if he is a basic form of the assumtion of omnipitance then all things, be they bad or
good (in human/moral terms of course) become a part of humankings energies not of gods, for he is either an observer if not infact the entirity of the
universe itself. (in which case you and i are infact part of god who is everything as a whole), therefore nothing on this earth is punishment or bad
things.. bar the feelings (which equate to basic negative positive feelings in a human state of consiosness and pre taught moral values) of humans,
which to god would either be nothing more then the ant farm scenario mentioned above or infact a part of him himself, in which case he is both sides
of the coin or both sides are infact the one coin? lol now im getting trippy

.
the bible has alot of Very Old stories that im sure have been rewritten and edited and played with many times before people of our times have ever had
the chance to lay eyes on them, the principal in all religions tho remains the same, who gives a # if the guy next to you is being a prick others, for
you cannot make him do what you want, your job is to do what YOU know is right and if you can teach the guy whos being a dick beside you that what hes
doing wrong then all the more power too ya, not that hes gunna listen if he dosent want too.
did i make any sense?? i am kinda drunk atm
