Quote:God is far beyond our understanding, if He wasn't then He would not be God, therefore God has revealed himself in a manner that everyone can relate to if they choose to do so, this revelation of God to man is called "divine simplicity."
I know my Captain Crunch is probably clogging my brain cells at this point however, there is as I recall a word that describes the contradiction against all logic, as it appears in the excerpt above.
If god is beyond our understanding, then no thing written by lesser damned by his will being could ever comprehend a god's revelations. Thus there is no choosing to relate to that which is beyond our limited mortal intellect. Divine Simplicity; god dumbing itself down so as to relate to the people he created damned from birth and then elects to save from himself, if only they believe that hand out is evidence of his love. Which is impossible because he's beyond our understanding.
More proof not only is god made in the image and likeness of people, but those people were of limited imagination. That's why it's easy to make something so absurd, so contradictory, so malevolent and call it holy and then when that's all questioned to posit the excuse for no answer for it as, "god is simply beyond our understanding". (Or, "It's a mystery." Or, "God works in mysterious ways!" Not so mysterious if one cares to look up the definition of "Sadist". )
"In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with."
