Love and compassion are the saving grace of a belief in a higher being…
For the allowed evil and wrong in this world cannot be excused as the
price of the “gift” of free will…
But for there to be compassion there must be suffering…
And it is suspect of a deity that would allow one to be praised for
the other…
Love is truly a wonderful and amazing gift... if that is what it is…
It too though is not without cost…
Betrayal... Hate... Jealously... These are explained by most who believe
as free will, that His role is not to force our actions
What then is destiny... fate... doesn't He have a plan for us all...
free will is just an illusion as the end is the same no matter what path
you take
The masses have blind faith... a belief that He is watching over them…
He, who they have never truly seen…
He, who they attribute all their good fortune to…
He, who is testing them when the sea of life becomes turbulent…
He is not there... we are alone... all we have is each other…
The masses will continue to believe for it is wrong not to... as those
before them did…
The masses will continue to believe because they hope life isn't what
it appears to be, that something better awaits…
The masses will continue to believe because they are afraid... of being
alone... of the finality of death... of divine retribution
We are responsible for love and compassion... suffering and hate...
no One else
Life is not easy or perfect... it is mostly what you make of it…
It is not a test when your heart is strained... or you lose those you
love…
It is life... and it must be... for if a deity allowed such things...
events of which your feigned free will is not a factor... He is not worthy
of your praise... He is not deserving of your belief... He... is just life...
the same as you or I.
