You call it arrogance when others wonder why they were not privy to the divine insight which was granted to you. That, actually -is- arrogance.
Quote:Just like believing a movie was recorded; because I saw it and used cameras myself.Pretty easy to tell when a movies been recorded...what with, you know, watching a recording we call a movie..........?
Quote:There's the personal, Humanoid God, I never believe in such thing. "Thinking" and applying the human prescriptive on him is where I think and believe faith gets twisted into the hideous forms we see mainly.Meh, I don't think god has been twisted. I think you correctly realize that these descriptions of god are hideous..but cannot allow that to penetrate your faith -in- that god. You;ve been twisted, mostly by yourself.
Quote:Once we begin applying human traits on God; we lose the way.If god cannot be expected to show a bare minimum of decency by such low standards as human standards...then god isn't "the way" anyway..so who cares? Some "human traits" are non-negotiable, even to believers. You believe your god to be just, one assumes? What justice is there in rewarding your sycophancy with surety while simultaneously damning another by his hiddenness?
None at all Katy, none at all.
End of the day, this is your baby..and you don;t get to write off god's stage fright as someone else's arrogance. That -also- fails the test of basic human decency.
