Does God have any moral responsibility to his children?

I would agree, DL. You are more moral in the sense that moral pertains to "mano a mano" relationships and God is in another category altogether.


Correct. God would not have ever developed morals because he is the only one of his species and would not need any. He would thus not know what good moral action would be. He would mot be moral or immoral but amoral.


That is why mankind would have to be some stupid to follow an amoral being. Not that he is real.

Since the universe existed before we did or before our concept of God, the very least we can say is that all that exists is God.. Since we are aware, we can assume that awareness did not "become" with ourselves. Did awareness always exist or did it manifest & evolve! We can only hope it was evolution,thus paving the way for our own evolution. Interesting? You bet. An aware universe, what a concept! The law of "Every action causes/produces a reaction." is observable in our relationships within our own species. Do we need to apply that same concept in our treatment of the environment, our dealings with other species and with our earth?? I would say so.

Now, does universal awareness, God, Spirit still have all the features of mankind? My God!! I hope the evolved universal awareness has gone beyond our rather nasty state. Surely more evolved entities have contributed to the final version of the Entity we call God. I hope, we are the last and least developed of all the species with becoming awareness left in the universe.

It is one way of explaining a lot about humanity I would say with a great deal of room to grow.

It's no stupider'n other religions.

No more fact-based either.
Hardly a religion ...... I cannot even say it is a belief, because I have no facts. It is called wishful thinking. It is a hope that we are not just one of many species that climbed a bit higher than some of the others on this planet and will pass away with no traces left to even mark our passage. .

Not a trace huh? Like the dinosaurs? Not a trace left behind?


Today we even find their sh*t laying about.

There's a difference?

Yeah plus they didn't even invent non-biodegradable plastic! Stupid uninventive dinosaurs.
Yes they did.

It's one thing to say a plastic bag will last for thousands of years.

The last of the dinos died out 65 MILLION years ago.

Yes there is. A religion is generally organized and the belief system is not easily changed. Wishful thinking is knowing there is no proof and there is likely never going to be, but it would be nice if it turned out to be true however unlikely.

So, it's basically the level of self-delusion?

OK, I'll buy that.

Hey, bluebyrd, I just agreed with you! Mark the date.
