If God Exists, Won’t He Need to Apologize to Us for Making Us Live in a World of Suffering?

Nez, kā es tā biju palaidusi garām Kings Kaleidoscope pēdējo albumu "Zeal".

pēdējās dienas daudz klausos "Rivers and Robots" un Jonathan Ogden (kas ir R&R solists, puisis no Lielbritānijas). Daudz nejauši dancāju. :)  Starp citu, Džošs tikko izdeva "Early Work Volume 1", ritīgi labs :)

“Why are you killing me for your own benefit? I am unarmed.”

“Why, do you not live on the other side of the water? My friend, if you lived on this side, I should be a murderer, but since you live on the other side, I am a brave man and it is right.”

I recently read this dialogue between a soldier and an unarmed man in Blaise Pascal’s Pensees. He ponders how killing a man from one side of a river (the man’s homeland) is murder, while killing a man on the other (an enemy country during wartime) is heroic. Being born on the right side of the river, in Pascal’s critique of the arbitrariness of human justice apart from God, bestows an unarmed man his rights. “It is a funny sort of justice,” he later remarks, “whose limits are marked by a river; true on one side. . . false on the other.”

"Consumerism consumes. That would be a great irony, wouldn’t it: to be consumed by ethical consuming?" 

A God who was only holy would not have come down to us in Jesus Christ. He would have simply demanded that we pull ourselves together, that we be moral and holy enough to merit a relationship with him. A deity that was an “all‐accepting God of love” would not have needed to come to Earth either. This God of the modern imagination would have just overlooked sin and evil and embraced us. Neither the God of moralism nor the God of relativism would have bothered with Christmas. ―Timothy Keller
