A different perspective

RE: A different perspective
(February 20, 2022 at 1:08 am)AFTT47 Wrote: It's vitally important what God (or any god) thinks of me? Seriously?

I have control over what a supreme being thinks of me? How could I even comprehend what such a being thinks of me? How could I have any power to influence that when I am utterly unable to think on the supreme critter's level? This is where religion of the type you espouse utterly breaks down.

The supreme critter supposedly created me. It knows everything there is to know about me. It knows what my limitations are. Because it is omniscient, it even knows what choices I will make throughout my life - every single one of them. It knows this at the moment it creates me. How can I change what this critter thinks of me when it it already knows everything there is to know about me at the moment I am created?

The supreme critter supposedly chose to create me - knowing exactly what the result of that creation would be. The responsibility is ALL on the supreme critter. I have no accountability to God because all I can do is EXACTLY what it knew I would do when it CHOSE to create me.
How do you feel about praying?
