Merle,
Really, we don't know the properties of God. God is forever beyond.
We don't even know his or her address, phone number, or URL.
I'd be careful before claiming anything positive about God.
My Catholic Catechism gives me lots of indoctrination into assumed qualities
and implied characteristics, doings, and wishes of God, but I think these all
went transparent to me by age 13. Seeing beyond them, to where God mat truly
reside. Or, His surrogate, deputy, delegate, doppleganger, or mirror-image.
Yet, if there's any God, ...hats off, of course!
It's clear, though, that God cares little for -- and intercedes not at all in
-- Creation. Else, we'd see Him/It... and...
Else, Science would have detected the Almighty. Not yet, so far.
Meanwhile, I think that God is so BEYOND us that we have *no right* to utter a
word. Not even a hua-tou. There's just no basis in his favor, or against her.
We just can't KNOW about God. Bottom-line.
*That's* the way She set it up, see? Smart... !
Why not keep us guessing? Much more productive. She's got brains.
Isn't that the way YOU would have done it? Spill all the beans, instead? Ha!
No.
Thus, all regarding God is/are GUESSES.
Out the window with them! They have no weight. They easily blend with the
breezes. Be gone, Siroccos. Gone, gone, gone beyond. Gone entirely beyond.
So glad to have a clear table. I love it this way. Not that I pick and
choose; but, I appreciate.
With all respect to unreformed Believers. Your time or our time may come. Of
that we may be completely sure.
