God's theory is not mine. But those
who believe in God, worship Him and make sacrifice to Him to influence Him.
Don't you think. Otherwise, can you tell me why people worship God? If you
think God is not influenced by such action, then all these people must be doing
something wrong. Do you have any explantion why people worship and pray and make
sacrifice to God?
How is God being
partial?
You think God is impartial? Why do you think so.?
I see God's partiality everywhere. The corrupt, the criminal, the evil go
unpunished , the innnocents getting punished, in many cases. Do you have an
explanation for this?

OK, I must have been then - if I had to view it from your viewpoint,
that is.

Aren't these (above) two sentences
contradictory? If God controls the destiny of men, then he would be the one
who would influence what they do. Then how IS He influenced by the action of
men?
I would say (assuming there is a
God, again): He sends them to this earth plane - a training school, leaves
them alone and let them use their conscience, do the right things. THEN, if
they are unable to do that, He teaches them a lesson, and that
is for the benefit of these earthly people - so their soul can
go up to a higher level - a step closer to Nirvana. That is,
not merely because they criticize Him, but if/when they torture, kill,
and make others to suffer.
And I would like to ask these again:
How is God being
partial?
Can affluence be eternal peace or a step closer to God?

The very theory of God
postulate that He is influenced by the action of man, He watch the actions
of man and reward the good and punish the bad. In other words, He
controls the destiny of man. The theory is that if man can please Him, He
will reward man with luck, wealth, power, health and happiness. That is
logic why people worship Gods like Ganesha, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Durga,
Vishnu, Shiva etc. According to the incarnation theory, Krishna
and Rama etc incarnated because they care about earthly people, and they
incarnated to bring peace and happiness to the earthly people.
Conversely, if God does not
care about earthly people, why people need to care about and worship
God?
If there is God, which I
sincerely doubt, I believe He is not a compassionate and
benevolent God. Otherwise why there is so much sufferings of the
earthly people.

Does having more critics make a religion more favorable to God, if
there is a God? And if there is a God, would he be bothered by the action
of the earthly people?
How is God being partial? Can affluence be eternal peace or a step
closer to God?

Umesh:
Frankly speaking, I doubt if God will help
you.
If Rama and Krishna were genuine incarnations of God,
they would have, by this time, established themselves firmly
their positions against Western Christian critics. That they have not
done that, shows that either there is no God or they were fake
incarnations, and guys like you are trying their best to believe
something which is not true.
What do you say? Do you think God is partial to
Christianity?

well I agree to that.
I need God's help again.
after eating Chinese dish -which did not mention what was in it
(i avoided seafood -since my last attack in Jan-for same reasons
perhaps -though my students had eye flu too) I look Chinese too - eyes
are mere slits. The rashes have gone but breathing is still heavy
