Seems to be precisely what theists do. Is it not stated within your fiction book that god is unkownable?
For those who claim in one breath that no one can know god, they certainly seem fond of making the claim that they alone know through god's will what is best for everyone else. It has become quite apparent that what theists claim as the will of god remarkably coincides with the wants and prejudices of man.
Where and when does Jesus say that?

The devil was [used] by God. And, for those who understand? Ultimately for the sake of Good... in the end!
As far as Job goes? That was "obviously" a hypothetical story about what "would" happen.... as many stories by the prophets of the OT.
IF you are to interpet God's will... you first have to think like God (if that is even remotely possible for anyone).
The first three statements are directly contradicted by the fourth. If it's not possible for anyone to think like god and therefore are unable to interpret god's will, then how can you possibly honestly form the opinion that Dionysus is wrong? Wouldn't that just be your interpretation?
If you are unable to interpret the will of god, how can you make the claim that any of god's actions- all in accordance with the will you have already said you can't interpret- are for the greater good?
And if this entire book is some super-coded thing that requires so much interpretation- from a divine mind at that!- then how can you say that one story is a hypothetical, but another is real? Where do you draw your distinctions? Incidentally, you're talking out both sides of your mouth by saying that whatever god did was for the greater good, and then in the next paragraph claiming it never happened.
Quote:Most of the Truths of God are self-evident. But also much is hidden from those harboring bias, hate, ego and self-reliance. Let those go, and so do the limits on our wisdom and understanding!
I though you said those truths of god required one to think like god? Which is it? Are they self evident, or do you need to ascend to the secret bonus level of consciousness?
This is an easy one! My words are based in "Good". And God is?
So, mine are inspired. His are doubt and misinformation.
One has to think GOOD thoughts to think "like" God...I didn't say "as" God does.
Quis ut Deus?
