God isnt a dick.
Man is..."
So, regardless of God and what was created, man is somehow to blame, therefore essentially we deserve what we get. Of course, I believe that you are talking about how man had made up these stories to control others and these stories became our religious faith. So man is the dick in all this and God doesn't catch any of the blame as none of that is part of his creation.
Did I understand you correctly?
I didn't express that well enough.
What I meant by that was, there are people in this world that want to control us by fear. The ultimate fear is an unseen fear that, "if you don't do what I say you're going to burn in hell" is a great way to scare people.
Man/woman/mankind has evil in its own heart, brought to us by the evil that we are taught. We just continue to pass it along.
Sure, God is to "blame," but only if you're looking for 'someone to blame.'
Sure, it's His creation.
It got messed up, due to evil forces.
He corrected this karma wheel curse by coming down here and dying in the flesh, and by going through the same suffering as us, so that he himself could experience what we experience. Up to, and including dying on the cross in that way, as an innocent spirit (A Holy Spirit).
He showed us, himself, how to break this curse.
A question...
Would you still love a God that put you through hard times and suffering to break you free from this curse? If you knew that this suffering, this experience is absolutely necessary to move onto the next level (the new heaven and earth), would you still see that this is done because of benevolence, or could you see that all of this is done through love?
Do we not discipline pur children to teach them how to act and treat others?
We have forgotten that discipline is important. Discipline is love, in my eyes.
This is that, either way. A lesson. We are being taught, and the good stuff we learn is in the hard lessons of life.
We are eternal beings. Eternal lessons take longer than 100 years, or less. I would think.
But, who knows. This is what lines up in my mind heart and soul. Yes, there is pure evil here. Things and beings and people who are completely void of love. And we are in a time and place where love is disappearing.
When it dissappears from this world, it will be game over for this existence.
That's my interpretation from all the scriptures.
They live.
We sleep.
We sleep.
