The boi’s sig line….
…is a response to the common Christian view of “God”. Recently, there was a thread that brought up abortion, right to die, pulling the plug, and executions. Of course, these are highly charged topics. What I found very interesting was that abortion because the pick up topic…the derail per se…and the major part of that discussion that got picked up was a father’s (man’s) responsibilities and rights. Which makes sense to me…we’ve all argued and heard arguments about women’s right on this topic but not often is a man’s rights discussed, though his responsibilities are often talked about ad nauseam. The basic conclusion is that if a man chooses to have sex and help create a living being, then he should take responsibility in that and have an active role in his children’s lives. So here’s my question…
What makes the Christian God the exception to the rule? Why does He not have to be responsible for being an active figure in His children’s lives? What makes God any different from the average dead-beat Dad?
I ask this and often people respond with “fee will, of course”. But children have free will as well when they are developing and a father is still held responsible for the product of that development. So there goes that argument. The Christian God does not take an active role in the development of man at all. As a result, like some children, people begin to have an anger at God’s lack of involvement and lack of responsibility for His creation. Some become agnostic, some simply become angry Christians.
So that’s the explanation of my sig line currently. “Momma” refers to Earth.
Comments?
Of course this type of view makes Hinduism like "My big fat Greek wedding"
