God has no fucking clue whats going to happen in the next few moments, let alone what I might do with this wonderful power he saw fit to infuse me with. Brilliant.
Quote:At the same time All-loving is when he provides his love to anyone willing to accept it. Some do not accept.I see no examples of love to accept - I see one horror after another paraded about and -called- love. It's sickening. In any case "all-loving" comes with conditions? The prefix "all" seems horrendously out of place if this is so.
Quote:That is not the fault of the giver or the gift. The sun shines on both the righteous and the wicked alike. The righteous grow gardens the wicked sow weeds.The giver chose the gift Chad, no getting around that. In fact, you seem positively hostile to any suggestions the proposed receiver of any such "gift" might offer. So trying to get your fairy off the hook for something that is entirely and solely it's own responsibility seems pointless.
Ever notice how many weeds there are as opposed to gardens on this rock? Does this mean that your cosmic cultivator is wicked, or are we going to give yet another special pass to a special friend? The only gardens to be found -anywhere- are those that we have created. So perhaps man, with all his faults, wasn't such a bad idea after all. We seem to have a knack for fixing your gods screw-ups. Flesh eating bacteria? Probably a monday detail-gone-wrong that god couldn't be bothered to iron out - no worries - we'll handle it.
