I couldn't help but notice that mr jack responded to his own post from May of last year with the statement today of "end of that". I thought that was interesting. Have you been pondering that one for the last year jack?
Anyway, it is a topic worth considering, why doesn't God say something and why is he such a wallflower? I know he's kinda shy and likes to maintain his privacy but if I was as smart as God I think I'd try to pitch in and help some of the problems around the world like starvation, wars, the destruction of our environment, etc.
If god spoke to us it would take away our free will. we would no longer have a choice on whether to believe or not, no more faith, just fact. it would ruin what it means to have the human experience of wondering what life is for or how we should live our lives. we would all just listen to him answer these questions and just do whatever he told us, we would be slaves to his will (maybe not a bad thing?).
If God want;s us to know something more than what we are born to know why dosn't he just say it and save us all the agony?
Make believe friends don’t answer questions; we have to answer those for our self. I see religion as a way humanity has dodged responsibility through out their history. We commit humanities worst atrocities and condone it by pointing to one god or another. It is time to stop looking for the make believe friend to speak and accept responsibility for our actions.
One cannot hear God, but if we can be still enough in our body and mind we can feel Him. (IF HE REALLY IS A "HIM"...Who knows?)
God does not respond to our egoic cries when it's nature (the "EGO" that is) is to support and defend it's own opinions and beliefs. The spiritual realm of God is not a democracy. I would say it's a one way stream of the devine creators intention.
