Is there any trace of " I PREFER God be not . And my five senses furnish some sound ground FOR that preference." ?

You don't see that as the same thing, really? He either does it the way you think He should
or He is wrong! Seem like the same thing to me, you have this standard and God is not
playing by the rules as you see them, so He cannot be real!
'Thou shall not kill.".........Bam, turns someone into a pillar of salt.
Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeIt is not only God but human life we see this, are you that blind? Parents have rules that apply to their children that don't apply to them, those in military services obey those over them with rules that don't always apply to those in charge, government sets down rules and regulations that don't always apply to government. Pull your head out Ghost you know that this is true.
Sorry, but saying he has rules for us and rules for himself is not a satisfactory answer. I think you know that.
Originally posted by KellyJayDoes a good parent tell their child killing is wrong, just before going out and killing some youths who mock his facial hair? Or does a parent lead by example?!

Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeI am unfamiliar with God having any killed for making fun of His facial hair, are you referring to a man?

Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeSo it was a man, I will grant that God honored the curse. It is still the unholy mixing with the Holy. The one sent in God's name, by God represents God. Having anyone insulting Him does so at their own risk.

(I may have conflated facial hair with baldness. Not that it matters).

with the rest of the universe. He sees the whole of the universe as He does each sp ...[text shortened]... I think He is the only One who could create others
with that ability while He shows restraint.
If god is "everywhere" , where "He knows everything" , etc. doesn't quite bode well for the " separate entity known as 'God' " ... who is everywhere but somewhere at the same time ?
C'mon.. surely more explanation is warranted here.

Why don't you ask Him?
God is like a billion photons going through your body in a spit second.
He is not a 'he' ... or a 'She' .
It has no name, is without form, and only enjoys human endeavour when lined up with 'His' own will.
you mean that 'guy' ?
