God is the Highest power. He has no creator nor and end. Thus his authority is absolute. That being said as a sort of disclaimer.
*************
M*W: God is what some people
think is the highest power. Yet, no one can describe logically what or who god is. So here's this highly mysterious but invisible being who had no beginning or no end. Some people bow down and worship this invisible entity with the hope that he/she/it is really there, but they still can't explain it even through their wrought iron belief.
God does not force those to obey his orders. We indeed do have a choice and we are exhorted excercise that choice for our survival.
*************
M*W: As I see it, this invisible yet mysterious being that some believe in does not do much of anything in our lives. It seems that we can do what we damn please. Those who believe and those who don't believe
survive! I don't see any separation between those that believe and those that don't. We are all solely responsible for the decisions we make in this life. Since you believe your god is the highest power, I would certainly expect that this god would make himself known. Why does this god want to be so mysterious if he's really god? It's bad enough that he's invisible. Christians and atheists survive next to each other in this world, and as yet, no one has come back from the alleged after-life to confirm what christians believe to be true. There are just too many loop holes in christian doctrine to be reasonable, logical or right.
If we as free moral agents...
*************
M*W: Please explain what you mean by "free moral agents...".
"If we as free moral agents chose to follow that authority then the bible tells us it will go well for us not only in the short term but in the long term..."
*************
M*W: You would be more correct in saying "
assumed authority...", since there is no proof of a god existing. The only proof there is that it is a god of fiction. Therefore, it is only an assumption and not a provable reality. So the truth of it is that your
assumed authority is nothing more than a fictional character you describe as your "highest power."
when he intends to bring a permanent peace to life in Earth and in Heaven Essentially he'll tolerate the death and destruction for only so long.
*************
M*W: This mysterious and invisible "highest power" does not "force those to obey his orders," so what is his purpose as god? We can't see him, we can't hear him, we can't touch him, we can't taste him, we can't smell him, and even in his highest power, he doesn't force us to do anything. We are totally within our own boundaries and can never be coaxed or persuaded to do anything that is not within our own power and judgment. It's as if your "highest power" is quite powerless!
Once that time comes we would have all made a choice before hand to which we prefer...peace or war. Ethics or immorality and ultimately Life or Death.
*************
M*W: So, you are saying that when this pre-determined time that only god knows has come, it was all our own choice anyway. What is the purpose, then, for this god of yours? He's invisible and mysterious, he doesn't force us to do anything. He let's us make our own choices and doesn't interfere. Seems we have complete rein on our comings and goings. He is something that we can't experience with our own senses, yet you claim he is the "highest power" and his authority is "absolute." What does this god do?
We can not follow the thinking that God believes this is an issue of power.
*************
M*W: Let's see here, this god does absolutely nothing in his role as the "highest power." Everything we do, we do because of our own will. He doesn't interfere. Now you're admitting that this god you believe in is not the least bit interested in "power." So, now this god of yours is
powerless! Yet, some of you still worship him as the "highest power."
He has waited patiently for us to make our own decisions.
*************
M*W: Hmmm. This god has done absolutely nothing, so he knows absolutely nothing, and we do it all by ourselves with our own power and resources, and he has "waited patiently." What for?
If it was about power and the ability to wield that power he would have wiped man from the Earth and started over. This didn't occur, because it was an issue of justice.
*************
M*W: Make no mistake about it, this "highest power" of yours sounds rather impotent, stupid, and in eternal hiding from the human race.
All the people that resulted from Adam and Eve would have never had a choice if he had executed them promptly.
*************
M*W: First, A&E are fictional characters. They didn't exist as two human beings, so they couldn't have been "executed" for their alleged deeds. In this day and age, it still shocks me that some people actually believe these bible stories to be true! There was no god who created A&E, but there was a creative writer who wrote those stories for entertainment.
He allowed a global family to be created and from the children he'll alow them to make a choice of which way they'd prefer to go.
*************
M*W: Ah, gee god, thanks a lot for "allowing" us to create our own global family with absolutely no help from you (since you're a figment of fiction)! And, BTW, we'll make our own choices from here on in, so it's best you stay where you belong--in fiction!
In essence God is on trial before our eyes... we're seeing the evidence and weighing the decision even now. At the same time he also is reviewing us.
*************
M*W: Something that doesn't exist cannot be interrogated, evidenced, arrested, charged, tried nor convicted or fined for any crime on this Earth. The judge and jury are all figments of your altered minds. That's what religion does to you people, it alters your mind. It's like a drug, an "opiate of the masses." So, there is no invisible yet mysterious, power of anykind, who cannot be sensed by the human race, nor depended on for any human need. This being that you all believe in as your "highest authority" is a helpless, stupid, impotent, fictional character that never was.
