RE: If there is a God, why do so many bad things happen? @ecotrain Question Of The Week
I would have to almost completely disagree with you, mate. You ask the attempt to brush your teeth before a shower and then connect that with a lack of freedom because of subconscious motives. That simply

First and foremost, what you've provided is a beautiful piece of text. I am so far inclined to agree, to some extent, with a lot of what is touched upon. Especially, "When we attach too much importance

Thank you, @eco-alex. In truth, it was your original post that provoked my thoughts and subsequent post on the topic. So I thank you for your mind. The upvote is also greatly appreciated. Again, cheers

RE: If there is a God, why do so many bad things happen? @ecotrain Question Of The Week
An interesting point you've made, I thank you for it. I would ask what exactly you mean by surrender in that case. Acceptance of suffering is, of course, one thing, but I would argue that surrender to

Should we let the mud settle and water clear? One could even argue that because everything is exactly where it should be, as you said, then we shouldn't let the mud settle and water clear, because to do

It's entirely likely I've somehow misinterpreted your meaning when you suggest surrendering. And I would agree immensely with our thoughts making things worse than they often need be. I may need clarification,

Ah, but that's were the crux of the issue lies. In your first post you said that Good & Bad were labels created by humans, but now you suggest morals are more than purely human. So, I suppose the question

I enjoyed reading this to some extent. There are many points I'd be inclined to agree with, and a few I'd argue a different view. Your last sentence strikes me as one I would disagree: "We can avoid

Food for thought if ever I've seen some. Seems to me the question of a creator is a deep, deep rabbit hole. I don't know if anyone can really answer it definitively. Not with any real authority. Still,
