as much as that being, in the parameters you are defining them, would let us.Yaya wrote: If God exists, that is, an entity that has created everything, and is aware of even the tiniest particle in space across the galaxy, what hope do human beings have of understanding the workings and 'logic' of such a Power?
So, if they are not letting us, or allowing the 'truth' to only be intelligable to a bunch of people then you have to question there agenda, don't you?
There's no obvious reason to equate a creator or supreme power with benevolance either, a farmer will tend and feed a lamb but it doesn't mean he has the lamb's best interested at heart long term.
In all honesty i find that hard to take from someone who subscribes to a religion that thinks its intolerable and of great signficance if a fallible ignorant being does a drawing of some chap called Mohammed.Part of faith is the acceptance that in the vast reaches of the universe, as fallible, ignorant beings in the grand scheme of things, we play a very small part.
Most monthiestic creeds aren't even remotely about downplaying the importance of humanity, even if they suggest it should be in some way subservient to a creator, they are still insistant that it in some way matters to that creator what humanity does.
And of course if it does matter to 'god' what humanity does, you once again come back to the notion that if this is so why is his message so unclear?
"Oh, but its not because i think i know it" - which of course brings us back to self importance.
In terms of debate faith is a cheap arguementative cop out, nothing more, regardless of whether you are a 'wise philosopher' or anyone else.
