Standards.
September 19th, 2011 § 1 Comment
You see I have something to illustrate here. And no, it isn’t about how the world could be a better place without God.
We mix things up. We mix things between Man and God. There is a standard for man, and there is another standard for God. Or what it takes to be God. God must have at least a far superior strength compared to man. A greater realm of control. And the God of Christianity, at least, should be omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent.
While Man, You don’t expect a man to do good. You expect a man to fail. We’re all failed creations. Even in the sense of evolution, we would be a lesser being from the next species, and the next. Until the earth dies, or until we become gods. You don’t expect a Christian to act decently. You don’t expect a Muslim to uphold religious practices. You only expect man to fail.
Our success, any success is truly by grace or perhaps you would like to think of it as luck, or a bonus. We are humans who happen to be Christians. We fail.
While God, You expect him to shit rainbows. Nyan cat can do it, so should he. If he thinks that the gift of free will is greater than the price of people dying from diseases that can be vaccinated against everywhere else in the first world country, he needs to think it again. If he thinks that creating pseudo free will is infinitely better than having millions in utter real anguish he needs to rethink it. We’re the oddballs in nature. You leave an orang utan in a forest for 100million years, you get more orang utans in a forest in a 100 million years. You leave a human in a forest for 100 million years, there isn’t an Earth left to live in. I’ve never understood the logic of pain.
You don’t expect God to fail. You expect God to make everything perfect.
We’re too harsh on Man, and too light on God.
P.s I thank God my ulcer healed though, I prayed quite hard lol.

We’re too harsh on God and not enough on man.
If you’re expected to fail all the time, there isn’t expectation. I.e you’re not really under any pressure, ergo, under any “harsh conditions”.
If you’re expected to only produce perfection all the time. Now that’s harsh.
Like how we always say Asian parents are too harsh on their kids and Australians parents are too laid back. Becuase the Asians push their kids to excel, they expect them to produce results.
Not saying you’re wrong. In fact this was a brillaint post. Just offering my two-pence.
