[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cargile: [QB] Very interesting stuff here. First of Two's query about God allowing pain and mayhem deserves some thought: If you found yourself in a situations in which you may immediately witness an incident that was going to cause harm to someone, and had the clairvoyance--or access to all the information contained within the universe--to see how the incident would influence other events, and had the power to run a mental simulation in which you prevented the near occurance from happening and was able to analyse the events from that decision, then based on which future course you favored, you would then either allow the atrocity to happen, or prevent it. Let's imagine that there is intervention by God. Now how the hell would we know what events are allowed and what events are deleted? The Colonization of the Western Hemisphere, Hitler, and now Milsovich and the Taliban could pale in comparison to other possible actrocities. Maybe these are neccesary evils in which a greater goodness will arrise. I myself think of God as a conscience being, but not a sentient being. God's self-awareness comes from humanity. We think, therefore It is. The Higher Power is humanity and all living things contributing to it. God is the manifestation of that. To say there is no God is admitting that there is no humanity. To say there is no spirit is to say there is no conscience. To say there is no soul is to say there is no intelligence. To deny these things is to deny the very existance of energy. It is to say "there is nothing". It is not a question of the existance of God. Nor is it a question of belief in a God. The deep question we wrestle with is "How do [i]I[/i] perceive God?" And the answers vary from a nonentity, to a white bearded old gent in white robes, to a holographic-like matrix of interferance patterns in an endless sea of energy. Which one is correct? Which one is correct for [i]you[/i]. There may be many Gods and Goddesses, but there is only one godness. My thoughts on the homosexual issue. Plain and simple. Most men who hate them, fear them because they beleive that homosexuals may treat the heterosexual males like the heterosexual males treat the females. Homosexuality doesn't bother me in the least bit (probably because I treat women with equalty, respect, and consideration, which given the above is how I feel a homosexual man would treat me.) Off on a humorous rant meant to amuse and not offend, I offer this opinion: <blockquote> What really irritates me about homosexual men is that as far as sex goes, they got the better end of the stick. Sex occupies a man's thoughts constantly. So two men who are attracted to men, who are constantly thinking about sex. . . well, someone is not playing the old "I'v got a headache, tonight" routine! What is the rejection rate in gay bars? It's got to be low. And another thing, I have never once in my life ran across a glory hole in a straight bar (not that I've ran across any in a gar bar. I don't go there.) No wonder we are pissed off. Those guys are having all the erotic fun! It's a shame I don't find a hairy butt attractive. But no. I have to deal with heterosexual women who are looking for the perfect mate to pass their genes onto the next generation. The competition is fierce. Oh, and as far as homosexual women are concerned, not only do I not mind it, but, like 99.9 percent of all males out there, I condone it. </blockquote> [/QB][/QUOTE]
