size matters, judgement is moral because a thing is big. You are right, I am a dumbass.

Sorry, I must be deficient, then. I thought for sure drowning almost everyone in a flood wouldn't count as "moral".
That is a very primitive mind you have there, you are clearly incapable of being a moral person.
Call me "primitive" then. Maybe that would qualify me for death and mass destruction?
Are you a mass? Oh, are you too big? and being big, have to be destroyed?

Make up my mind for me, is morality based big and small. Big being good, small being bad?

No.

Then God cannot do what he pleases. But is it not written,
I the Lord create all the good and all the evil, I the Lord do all these things.

But, being a big guy, he has to have big balls, how does he handle that? With big hands?

There are two types of identity, arithmetic and geometric, literal and metaphorical. Neither can be the other.

In other words, God can be a particular, or God can be a Universal. Whatever God is, it cannot possibly be both.

So, if God is the creator of all, is it possible that God is some particular thing?

The Bible is written to test judgment using the idea of God. Mankind cannot be sane if God is some particular thing.

I assume "coming back" is not a realistic option, however, everyone refusing to participate in similar mass slaughter in the future maybe is. Of course, it has to be a mutual thing, however, I'm not sure if some breaking the prohibition counts as an excuse for creating 'open season' on those not directly responsible for breaking it first (innocent civilians of Gaza who had nothing to do with Oct 7).
We’re all sentenced to death just by being born. Do you have any solutions to this dilemma?
No. Unfortunately, we all seem to be pretty much screwed in that respect.
Not for the Unborn Tao.

You cannot think your way out of a paper bag. Think of a book as a paper bag of words.
You violate the very foundation of judgment, all the time and do not even realize it.

Does the possibility of being "unborn" still exist for any of us here?
