Finally Shirley MacLaine has all of the answers.
https://iconicphotos.files.wordpress...pg?w=700&h=466
According to MacLaine when we see horrors in this life time, we are looking at too small a picture.
We have to look at the Karma that surrounds us and our ancestors.
That Karma will balance out over time.
So if something good or bad takes place in your life, it might or might not have something to do with you.
It's all about the balance of Karma in the Universe. 
Don't take misfortune or good luck personally.

People who call him that assume that an all-powerful God exists and that he/she/it thinks like they do and cares about people. Like the old line about God created man in his image, and man returned the favor. The God of most major religions is very human-like.

That's why I worship Cthulu. I like to shake things up.

That is NOT what Gus was suggesting. He was pointing out the random violence of the natural world. An innocent child was being stalked by a vulture. The caption of that photo.
" a vulture preying upon an emaciated Sudanese toddler"
There is no political side to that photo, unless of course you are a misguided conservative who misapplies a rather poor understanding of Darwinian evolution as ONLY the "survival of the fittest" to economic theory, as some conservatives like you do.
The higher herd animals (and some not so high) also have evolved care for weaker members of the herd. In humans it is called empathy and compassion.
Why would your anthropomorphic God allow an innocent emaciated child to suffer so horrendously if he was truly all loving?

Give it up. You missed the point again.
I said it was an analogy - it was what I said not Gus.

Can you imagine that? An all-powerful and ever-loving God...who allows something like this to take place...even though he has the ability to put a stop to it?
Can a God like this really exist?
|
No.
We are put here to prove ourselves worthy of the after life.
God is not a liberal. He is not going to take care of our every need. That is up to us. |
YOUR nonsense is only begetting more nonsense. Bionically speaking of course 
WTF is RTTF?

I wouldn't call Jesus a liberal on matters of money. He was more of a libertarian. I think He would be in favor of rich people VOLUNTARILY giving their wealth to help the poor. I seriously doubt He would be in favor of corrupt politicians using the threat of arrest to take that wealth and then promising it to others in order to expand their power. He might tell the wealthy not to worry about it so much because there are more important things in life than worrying about how corrupt liberals are buying votes using their wealth inefficiently, but that's another issue.
