For a harmless God would surely have a harmless heaven, and everyone in it created with a grateful harmless nature. And God would have no need to ever use force. For everyone would have a grateful conviction that they deserve less, giving them compassion and charity toward those who have less. And a grateful happiness would be enjoyed by all. And as everyone desires to own only enough for a comfortable life, there is no wealth to fight over.
As for planet earth, surely the majority are given an ingrate conviction that they deserve to be rich, all so that it be established how global warming is cause by the greed driven rich. As for a burning hell, what purpose would it serve?
For good is life, and good are all the actions we do that protect and sustain life.
For evil is death, and evil are all the harmful thoughts and actions that can only lead to death.
So, soon comes an end to all death, causing all things to turn toward the good.
And so, be a pacifist vegetarian with just enough for a comfortable life and hope for the best.

Because of wealth, earth is enslaved by power, glory and deadly force.
By gratitude, heaven is free to experience compassion, charity and happiness.
On earth, because the majority were created with an ingrate conviction that ownership is an unalienable right, they strive to enrich themselves upon the misery of those who have less education, less wealth or less whiteness of skin.
In heaven, because everyone is made with a grateful conviction that all things are owned by the One who created it, blissful equality is enjoyed by all.
FREEWILL — FREEDOM TO BE ALL WE CAN BE
We all have a freewill, the freedom to do anything, so long as we have both the desire and ability to do it.
So, as all of our desires are based entirely upon what our conscience perceives is due and owed to us, namely what is deserved by us, specifically what is a natural right to be enjoyed by us, if our conscience has conviction that we deserve more, we can only take all we can take.
On the other hand, if our conscience has conviction that we deserve less, we can only give all we can give. And so, who makes the decision as to what our conviction of heart should be? But surely, if there is a all-knowing and all-powerful God, only he could decide if our desire is to do good or do harm all the days of our life on this earth. As for the illusion that only if we have the freedom not to live, can our love be genuine. But surely, love is an act of gratitude that originates from a… Read more »
CORRECTION
As for the illusion that only if we have the freedom not to love, can our love be genuine. But surely, love is an act of gratitude that originates from a conviction that we have been given more than anyone deserves.
No, he must not be a pacifist – he must be sound asleep at the job.
His job being to teach all the heavenly realms why He refuses to give them a desire to own more wealth than needed for a comfortable life, how could He do a more perfect job?
For we are all given a different level of intelligence as it is the only way to experience the emotions of happiness, namely to have compassion and give charity in a way that best produces a grateful response. And if those in heaven desired to hoard wealth, would they not turn paradise into our hell on earth?
A famous declaration about the “God” problem was made by Richard Dawkins with his book “The God Delusion.” I have never quite understood why a believer in Evolution would get so worked up about those who believe in God, since such believers would themselves be just a product of Evolution. But that is another story for another day. This recent observation by Dawkins was a ground breaker. He said: “It’s one thing to deplore eugenics on ideological, political, moral grounds,” Mr. Dawkins tweeted to his 2.8 millions followers. “It’s quite another to conclude that it wouldn’t work in practice.

Super-intelligent rich nobility, they start their theory of evolution by describing a miracle, the idea that a process of “the lesser evolving toward the greater,” came about by it’s own volition, out of nowhere an act of self-creation.
And so, as both theories are religions that may be excepted by faith and faith alone, a mind must be able to have conviction in logic that is rational,
in order to transport the mind to new logic that is equally rational.
For if evolution be true, than global warming is the death of us all.
Personally I believe that God did give us free will. Why? Because dogs be dogs and birds be birds – only man can decide to be a greedy evil Ahole . That said I believe like the Greeks that we all get our lives looked at. In fact I am partial to the Greeks idea of punishment for evil deeds. (I will try to be in the ball park on this – It’s been a while since I read this) Anyway; An evil person has as their punishment a certain amount of acts performed on them that they did to… Read more »
Seven billion sinners refuse to feed the one billion poor who now suffer death by starvation. So, if we have the freedom to be good or evil, why is virtually everyone missing heaven by making the wrong choice? — All this living hell on earth that is about to expire in a convulsion because of our sinful global warming, if God is allowing humans to inflict such misery for no other reason than to give sinners an opportunity to develop some inner goodness, than our God has not an ounce of common horse sense. Evil is anything that causes death,… Read more »
Your opinion John. You do what you feel is right and when you die you’ll find the truth. I believe there is a middle ground between gross greedy imoral scum and coarse robe garb.
As far as warming is concerned remember Dwarka (Now 130 feet below water) was the equivalent of Mumbai 13,000 years ago. We’re still here.
Not by blind faith nor by compiling the most facts do we win a debate in this end time liar’s paradise, but by logic so rational that a window into reality and a vison of the future is ours to enjoy.
If you are given a prideful ingrate conviction that you deserve more, that you do not have enough, than it is impossible for you to do good.
On the other hand, if you are given a grateful conviction so humble as to think that everything you have belongs to those who have less, it is impossible for you to even desire to do evil.
“Be you perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
So is the person that made the electric grid you use to promote your point of view good or evil? His work has allowed billions to communicate with each other – yet he also became extremely rich………. If your opinion is he should have done it for sustenance only I’m sorry John but that makes you a person that has a good rap but who has accomplished nothing to help mankind. Or to put it another way, talk is cheap. Anyone can sit at home and pontificate. Getting out in the world and actually creating things that do good is… Read more »
Only one reason is there for why the 1 billion with the least education now suffer death by starvation — people hoard more wealth than they need. Stop being greedy.
John the pontificateor – you are a johnny one note – I hope you are pasting this drivel and saving time for more porn.
Sue, please tell me if the “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” applies to the headline of the march 23, 1933 London Daily Express that reads “JUDEA DECLARES WAR ON GERMANY”? I see you use the war deaths of only Jews for your example….
Rest must just be animals.
WHO OWNS WEALTH? This is the key issue, for wealth is the excess property we hoard above what is needed for a comfortable life. And as 7 billion sinners refuse to feed the 1 billion least educated poor who now suffer death by starvation, surely all wealth is the rightful property of those who suffer want. For until the virus plague is over, make the rich supply food and shelter to the homeless. Surely, the only solution possible is for everyone to have the compassion and charity needed to keep only enough for a comfortable life. For if all wealth… Read more »
