I am bewildered you have such a fancy for your ideas, for in the jumble I see there is no one with you, you are all alone.

"Bewildered," no doubt, but the cause is not my ideas. You are  trapped in a closed linguistic system, and you are completely indoctrinated. The form of bibliolatry that you espouse is what isolates you from thinking with your God-given mind. Such endless repetition will only dull your intellect with time because biblical thought-forms repeated ad nauseam do not permit any new interpretations, hence no multi-dimensional enlightened insight, or, for that matter, new neural connections to develop. Been there, done that.

My writings are pre-eminently clear to those whose mind is not censored by archaic language. GOD does not have a hand or a finger. Your use of metaphor is bereft of philosophical or psychological method, and if (GOD forbid), you mean those things literally, then I am wasting time with any response to you because you are not open to instruction. I have 34 years post seminary life experience. My learning has continued along the lines of Gnostic spirituality in its Jewish-Christian iterations, but also outside of those mythic frameworks. I am certainly not alone, there are many, many mature Christians who understand Ante-Nicean Christian forms, before the religion was co-opted for political purposes. You are simply not in a position to correct me in these matters, and just FYI, I find religious intolerance right up there with racism, oppression of women, and child and animal abuse. The "mind of Christ," is the '[chrism] anointed mind.' This concept of enlightened mind is to be found in all major religions.


Did GOD make the worlds? Does GOD do what is good for the world? Does GOD love the world, or is that a petty thing left for father's and their children?

GOD, whatever this linguistic notation means to you, does not carry the same associations for me. My sense of the word places immediate, unmediated experience - the Mysterium Tremendum et Fascinans - way ahead of  ancient, primitive, numerously translated and mistranslated, multiple language translated, with  scribal insertions and deletions,  religious writings. I am capable of receiving revelations, hierophanies, and epiphanies, and living in an ethical and compassionate way of being-in-the-world. GOD is clearly not the anthropomorphic projection of tribal mentality that you wish to ensconce on a golden throne. I'm an adult, with several decades of philosophical and theological instruction, including academic degrees in those disciplines. I transcended my 2-dimensional cardboard caricature of childhood long ago, and I have also transcended politically motivated dogmas and doctrines of theological constructs.

Screw spirituality, there is no such thing, give me religion. Rituals, prayers and traditions, that is all there is.
