Endlessly explaining what you believe to me, as though we had some disagreement as to what you believe, is tedious. You seem to have a problem with the intercessionary concept (not the personal concept). The notion that a god will help, can intercede. That's strange, I think...seeing as how karma is also intercessionary, the difference being that you are in the drivers wheel, rather than a god. You can improve your karma, can you not? You can intercede on your own behalf with your actions in this life, with regards to your next life...can you not? Say you knew, positively knew, that you had "bad karma". You could do something positive to effect that, eh?
Yes Sir, I think now you understand me. With regards to the God concept , one can say I am my own God. Whatever i do i am responsible. I have the power to do good and bad. I believe if i have done bad Karma i have to suffer that no matter what. Just because i try to do good Karma the bad won't be erased. I have to suffer the consequences.
