Hi Shiny Crystals (and Harry Haller),
How's it going? Is it below zero where you are? It is here!

There is nothing I can count on in this world. (other than death and taxes, I guess) On the other hand, I can count on God always being God.(January 13, 2024 at 11:41 pm)Harry Haller Wrote: 6 attributes of God:In regards to the bolded part, I think god being immutable and never changing would not work in a universe that is constantly changing. What is the point of a universe being created by or ruled by something that never changes anyway? I am not sure if humanity, which is ever changing in terms of its society, would be something that could be considered compatible with such a being.
1) God is Infinite, self-existing, without origin
2) God is Immutable, never changing
[Good list and discussion deleted]

If he is all knowing and is supposed to care for and love humanity, why does he not often step in to handle it? If at all?This too is one of the big problems. For me, the key is like Harry Haller said, “I am none of these things.” I am not all knowing. I can think of ways that are good ways to solve problems, and maybe, to some degree, they are good ways. But I don’t know everything. There could be all kinds of reasons that I can’t see why my solution is less than another solution.
