Age of Deconversion

[John 6IX Breezy]

Mysterious ways, then.  It does apply.  Then, it may be virtuous.  I didn't need to ask a god to realize that, and neither did you.  You answered it yourself.

You're either more open to skullfucking your neighbor and selling his daughter than you think..and don't wish to acknowledge that, or less open to the same, and mysterious ways, and don't wish to acknowledge that.  Either way this should provide you some insight into how others apprehend such gods, and themselves, and you.  Is it beyond the pale that a person might begin to associate god and god belief with evil when we see things like this?  Even if we began believing that god and god belief were good?

For the concept of mysterious ways to have an application here, I would need to have used it to either justify God's request or my own actions. I've done neither of those. That being said, I'm neither against nor in favor of "mysterious ways;" mysteries are an inherent part of understanding any thinking being that is independent of ourselves. Why did Jessica not text me back? Why did my coworker put the papers here? Why did God allow this to happen? In psychology this is called theory of mind, our attempt to understand the cognitive infrastructure that led to a given behavior in another person; that infrastructure is inherently mysterious. So God's ways will always be mysterious, for the simple fact that he is God and I'm not him.

Don't confuse the mysterious gap that exists between any two thinking beings, with the usage of that gap to justify a behavior.
