[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cargile: [QB] Stepping outside the role playing: I've actually spent some time reading back on the posts. I believe in a different God that you people do. One that is more tangible and controlable. In my view the soul is to God/Goddess what the neuron is to the brain. Does that make any sense to you? We are a part of a larger whole. As a part we have responsibilities to that whole. They may be personal resposibilties or public. It depends on your outlook. In short, we are the Godness. We are part of the consciencenous of God. To envision the Mind of God means to look at your own life and the way you percieve things and to look at the society you live and consider the socities that you don't live in and join them together. I think that people have turned away from being responcible and lay it upon the concept of God. "God will destroy us all!" is the End Times thought. To be more realistic, "We will destroy ourselves." If we are stupid enought to allow it. I think there are some members of the human race pulling more of their share of the weight of such prophesy to make it not come true. Why? Because they realise their realitionship with God is Equality Between God and the Soul of Humans. "God said kill this group and burn this city because I don't like them?" Let us take a look back on the time of mankind when society was young and cilization wasn't so civil and the unifiying force between two individuals was what they believed spiritually, and what they believed to be true from those that mastered them. It was in the best interest for a warlord of one group in order to lay seige upon another city-state, to persuade and rally a war spirit from the soldiers that were to kill and lose their lives for their people by stating that the absolute order came from the common worshiped diety. A God never issued such orders. Leaders did in the name of such gods to both raise warfare spirits and cement the cause. We, as part of God, allow evil acts because we desire a change that we may think will benefit us. I have noticed that out of every bad (or evil) action, goodness arises from that action. You would have to have vision through a drinking straw not to see that. When I claim that I am God, I am not joking. I believe each of us is also God. We are a conscience part of the universe, and in that we have power through it. To realise that you are a part of a larger whole and are able to use power from that whole is a responsibilty I am learning to handle. I've tapped into something that I have learned is easy to abuse, and I have learned what abusing it can do. To wrap thing up: Evil exists because humanity exists to realize the concept of evil. This topic could be called "Collective Conscience and the Problem of Instinctual Nature." I don't think there is a problem.
