Try and tell a sixth month old child being tortured that it just needs to align or adjust it's thinking, and that it is learning an awesome incredible lesson, that the whole thing isnt real. If that is the best that God or whatever can do, then the phrase 'God help us' is useless. If the Supreme Being has limits, where is the truth? |
The truth is not so obvious,but we needn't to know it. Steve has given advices many times. If you read his 'life after death'(
http://www.stevepavlina.com/articles...fter-death.htm) and listen to his podcast #013- Beyond Religion, you will find what you should do.
Steve said that you can just use some religions when doing sth while use other religions when doing another thing.
To me, I am always a dialectic materialist when dealing with objects while a subjective realitist when dealing with people. That's seems good for me
Deep down, I like dialectic materialism more, maybe because if being a materialism I take less responsibility. That's what I think.
