People say that "god has a plan" or something similar a lot. Whats the recent earthquake/tsunami in Indonesia say about god's plan? |

"As the fourth seal is opened, John sees a pale horse. "And I looked," he recorded, "and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth" |
|
Gods plan for all those people was that they would eventually die one way or another. From a human viewpoint, this was hardly delightful, but it was nature, and nature is full of death. |
|
God.....ha. Anyway if there was a god i can't see why many christians would beleive that he has a divine plan. He has just killed 100,000+ people. How could this be a plan. Well it could be his way of cleaing inventory. |

If you added up everyone who normally dies in a day, 100k won't seem like so much. The thing is, it doesn't normally happen in one spot. |

We are all one Universal Force. The Christian god is a load of bull-shit. And they say satans bad...hahaha. |

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
- Albert Einstein
"We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about."
-Joseph Campbell
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilisation should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
-Albert Einstein
The main deal in my mind is this: if there were a god anything like the Christian one, he would instantly turn everyone into angels to spare them from the uneccessary pains of life on earth, since he loves us so much and could just snap his fingers and make it so. Obviously something is amiss. God either doesn't care about/hates us, or more likely, isn't there at all. |

Christian history does have a lot of blood on their hands. |

I know much sadness was caused by the tsunamis, but there is even holiness in death. |

The devil is 10 ft. tall, fairly skinny with dark black skin, his face is inexplicable. He's a pretty scary figure, satan. |

This event has definitely made me question my own faith/lack of faith, in relation to my own spirituality. Im not Christian, or believe in the bible as the true word of God. Its just people writing in a higher form. I have to admit if there was a divine controller, how could they let this happen? The reality is that innocent people were killed, people from all over the world who went on holiday, not just the poor and the hungry. For me its like a self fulfilling prophecy for those devoted disillusioned fundamentalist Christians "Its the end of the world, apocalypse is here". SAVE ME SAVE ME ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! |

"By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me; a prayer to the God of my life."
Psalm 42:8
Funny how religious people can always find a convenient explanation for everything while non-religious people are comfortable saying "I'm not really sure" until a reasonable explanation pops up. |

God cannot control us for he has given us the gift of freedom. We are gods will. We choose are own reality. I'm not saying that we could have stopped the tsuanmi but just as an overall truth. Our thoughts become realities. We must always fulfill the next higher thought of overselves and our world. That is the only way we can begin to have a spiritual shift of conciousness in this world. If enough people think of something, those thoughts begin to dwell in the astral and enough thoughts build up in one place their vibrations slow down and move into the physical realm. Anyway the point is God divine plan is existence. There is only us and our thought. |

Oohhumm
So if you think about killing someone, and all those thoughts enter the astral plane, do those thoughts convert to mind-bulliets and kill that person, without proof you killed them? |

"By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me; a prayer to the God of my life."
Psalm 42:8
If there were an infinitely powerful God who is the epitome of good, there would be no tsunamis killing anybody. There would be no suffering. There would be no evil. He/she/it would make every consciousness, an infinite number of consciousnesses, infinitely blissful forever. If one argues that such a state would involve problems, I beg to differ. Such a scenario would be flawless and infinitely great, and even if there were problems with it, God would use his infinite power to erase those problems while preserving the benefits. Besides, wouldn't everybody be willing to give up free will and such to have all (infinite number) consciousnesses infinitely blissful forever? |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?

^Unless you're all-knowing, there will be times when you won't know things and have to say "I dunno". Making up answers or arriving at answers without putting enough research into what you're trying to find out only makes you feel like you know things, but it's a waste of everybody's time. |
