I am not confused at all. Chaos is freedom. Order is fear. God is in fear and this is why God wants an ordered universe.
No, freedom does not allow choice. If you are free then you do not have to choose. If you have to choose then you are not free. Choice is the result of bondage, not freedom. Freedom and choice are mutually exclusive. (If you think this is nonsense then see my thread on "freedom of choice" to figure out why it is nonsense to think the way you do.)
Voids and chaos are where freedom operates. Freedom is unable to operate in this cage/universe. God claims there is freedom here so God can deny being responsible for this mess we are in.

The viod is the real universe. Ours is the anti-universe of illusion.
So on the flipside, how would you reconcile the fact that this same God, of whom it said in the New Testament, "For God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son,...."

Maybe the Egyptians had masochistic tendencies and this type of God reflected their mentality. At any rate... it's stuff like that that drove me from being a christian to an alien

Eh, it all comes down to your personal opinion of capitol punishment. Do you think the death penalty is fair? Some do, some don't. It's not so much as a religious issue but a moral and social issue.
make that 18 pages of garbage.

That cross you so proudly display is a tool for capitol punishment...you worship the devise that ...
never mind...I'm only on the second page of reply's, there is absolutely no way I plan on going through 10 pages of this foolishness.
We have real problems occurring in the world today that we as humans need to address and fix. god, or gods, or whoever you people try make believe will save us all, so far are either asleep on the job, or never have shown up to work in the first place. Please people, put down your dead gods, and your idols, quit fighting over nonsense, and religion dogma...start helping to find solutions to our global problems and begin to enjoy one another and their differences in culture and foods...this religious insanity really needs to be abandoned. Think about it folks, For thousands upon thousands of years, religion has not delivered the goods.
*edit* make that 18 pages of garbage....more pages on this topic than actual topics that don't exist purely in a fantasy world...un-freakin' believable!!! This is why we are on the bring of extinction.

Shameful you are for discrediting the one who is responsible for your life, who gives you air to breathe, and protects you. Shameful... There is nothing in the world more shameful than establishing one's self on personal delusions and lies.
