Last time I checked… yep the Bible was full of moral principles.
What story’s don’t match? The historyically proven Bible or the Koran?
No Leo, I don’t think God would think that way, and I am surprised that you would think so. Acceptance of other’s views? The Bible and the Koran teach total opposites, wouldn’t that be hypocritical?
As for enforcing… where? I am not forcing anything down anyone’s throats but simply defending my views against those who want to asimulate theirs into mine.
As for your last paragraph, I believe that view was created by those who do not want to be help accountable beyond this world, who want to be their own ‘masters’
Yes it is full of moral principles Urbano, twas my point.
The different stories of different historical texts such as the bible, koran, hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, what have you.
I didn't mention God specifically, as that would imply I believe in him in the same way many Christians do, and frankly I don't. I believe in higher beings, either at a different level of existance, or technologically.
You might be familiar with this theory of civilisation evolution:
Harness power of planet (requires internation cooperation)
Inhabit other words and harness their power (requires organised society)
Harness power of star (requires a great degree of cooperation)
Harness power of galaxy (requires cooperation of many worlds)
Harness power of the universe (... you get the picture).
My point is, anyone capable of reaching the higher stages would be capable of being perceived as a 'God', and being able to create and destroy worlds, moulded at their will. Heck if you can harnesss the power of the universe I very much doubt you can't switch which level of existance you reside on. Like another user said (mentioned witchcraft), what we can't understand yet - we may in the future. Take a computer back to the middle ages and show someone a battle simulation. Your machine and you would probzo get accused of witchcraft and burnt... not nessacerily in that order either.
Say these people, or person however came to a world, created life as they very much like to do... they might also want to ensure their survival without interferring too much (free will ne1?). Hence the prophets and religious texts. Course, different stories tell the same principle in different ways. And history allows for all sorts of errors to creep into the mix. Thats why I view it only as a guide.
If you were to stick me in a room with God, I wouldn't believe I was having a 'numerious' (I think thats what you call it) experiance, I'd think I'm looking at someone who is a lot smarter and experianced than me, and I would want to learn from them to accomplish similar feats. If however, like you believe this kid will judge me, then I must be allowed to judge him too. Sometimes a lower intelligence can provide valuable insight into an area you had not considered, being so used to thinkin complex. (Ie, I took a laptop apart to see if the HD was broked, cos it was saying 'OS not found' at bootup... while an AOL'er just removed the floppy diskette for me).
Lastly, are you saying my view is shared? Damn and I thought I came up with something both plausable and original. You are right however, I do want to control/'master' my own destiny and I won't easily submit to anyone that forces me otherwise. However, not being accountable I disagree with. If, as you say I go 'beyond this world' then I very much welcome to prospect of me being accountable for anything I have done here, it is only fair.
In summary, what we currently perceive as Gods may only be technically/spiritually superior beings, which we can also achieve in time and cooperation. Im not saying I believe this, only that its a plausable explanation.
