Topic: why do bad things happen to good people..!!! | |
---|---|
Is it a punishment? Is it a examination? Is it a misunderstanding as to considering the qualities of being GOOD? or else..? I figure I was a terrible person in a past life and this why these awful things keep happening to me. In seriousness I believe what cases hurt is a human's innate sense to want things. The more we want, the more we hurt. Guess it must be my fault for wanting a roof over my head and food in my stomach which is the cause of bad things are happening to me. Yep; I am so greedy wanting to survive that I am being punished by this so called God. What a pile of horse manure that is. Did you not read my reply? I meant "things" as in things that aren't necessities. Material goods and other junk we think we need, but in reality don't. wink Some Headman in Rome? Some Preacher or anyone who claims to be a Spokesman of some Supreme Being,which,in it's form usually proposed by the Religionists,is impossible to exist! The damnation of this earth as a realm where nothing is possible to man but pain, disaster and defeat, a realm inferior to another, �higher,� reality; the damnation of all values, enjoyment, achievement and success on earth as a proof of depravity; the damnation of man�s mind as a source of pride, and the damnation of reason as a �limited,� deceptive, unreliable, impotent faculty, incapable of perceiving the �real� reality and the �true� truth; the split of man in two, setting his consciousness (his soul) against his body, and his moral values against his own interest; the damnation of man�s nature, body and self as evil; the commandment of self-sacrifice, renunciation, suffering, obedience, humility and faith, as the good; the damnation of life and the worship of death, with the promise of rewards beyond the grave�these are the necessary tenets of the [mystic�s] view of existence, as they have been in every variant of [mystical] philosophy throughout the course of mankind�s history. There is only one state that fulfills the mystic�s longing for infinity, non-causality, non-identity: death. No matter what unintelligible causes he ascribes to his incommunicable feelings, whoever rejects reality rejects existence�and the feelings that move him from then on are hatred for all the values of man�s life, and lust for all the evils that destroy it. For centuries, the mystics of spirit had existed by running a protection racket�by making life on earth unbearable, then charging you for consolation and relief, by forbidding all the virtues that make existence possible, then riding on the shoulders of your guilt, by declaring production and joy to be sins, then collecting blackmail from the sinners.

well,"all things work together for good to those who love God;to those who are called according to his purpose". That's right. And every single person has a choice. They can either follow his word and praise him, or reject him and suffer the consequences. That's my belief. |

Ayn Rand on Mysticism. http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/mysticism.html You're getting all this information on a woman who wrote fiction literature. Thought maybe you would be using modern science and the evolution theory which is unproven and is just illuminati propaganda to get people to not believe in a higher power. And tell me Sir, you say a higher power or God is impossible to exist. How can you prove this? Some scientific formula or theory that can't prove what you boldly state? Modern science can't prove anything. Neither can anthropologists. Humans can only think they know it all, when it fact they are totally ignorant and unknowing of the spirit world. |
