A Loving God

I don't see anything necessarily wrong with that. Wipe away all the febrile froth and it sounds quite laudable. Kudos for embracing a system which works for you.

Thanks for the reflection and thanks for the new word!

My system is built on experience.

I like to sneak in a new word now and then, even a neologism such as Dolphinetics which I'm determined to make a real thing.

And if outside equals dissolution?

I can see it's time for this again.

All of that assumes a linear progression of time in a fixed space.

The model of the universe I work with is a nonlinear progression of 6 initially separate spaces into a single unified space as an organic development. "Hell", "heaven" and our entire physical "cosmos" are each one of those separated spaces. There will be a "Frashokereti" (look it up), "great perfection of the unvierse" when the top anti-matter side of the universe combines with the bottom matter side.

Stick around, it's going to be quite the show

I'd say "Shoot from the lip!" But Roland would tell me I've forgotten the face of my father.

I cried like a baby throughout the entire final installment of TDT.   SK is such a cruel, cruel individual.  Why did he stomp on my heart so?!

I think he stared a little too long into the Dark Tower..."and the Dark Tower always triumphs!" ~Stephen Python

The thing to remember is that the often posited all powerful God can do things using any method he sees fit. So if he achieves something by torturing and killing infants, he's choosing that method over an infinite number of obviously less cruel and barbaric ones.

Why? You can't simply say he has a reason we don't understand, because whatever is supposedly achieved by this could be done another way.

Drop the ludicrous "all powerful" thing, and you then have a "he's doing his best, can't save them all" argument.

God can do what he wants and call it moral? So can any fascist dictator. He can stick it up his holy arse. At least human dictators can use the means-to-an-end argument, because they're rather less powerful.

Sounds like a capricious God.
