is god cruel?

[blugiant]

It would be more accurate to say I am using the Egyptian idea of God/s - Neter.

Neter is the Ancient Egyptian word from which Nature is derived

Neter or Neteru is the name given by Ancient Egyptian to all the Gods as a single body/unit - Singularity

To the Egyptian each God is an aspect or principle of Nature/Neter.......like Gravity - which is neither good or bad.

Is God cruel?
Since she/he/it is imaginary It depends on your beliefs

iff itt exist inn yuh imagination ann inn yuh believe ar yuh seyinn itt natt real


Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve

both...
there is no universal "rasta position"...on whether "god" is cruel...
each individual is at a different point along the timeline of comprehending life and the philosophies therein...

to me it is kind of an infantile question...
were the typhoons, tsunamis & hurricanes & volcanoes that killed hundreds of thousands of people cruel?
too many people nowadays have conflated the principles of creation into a narrow misguided word called "god"

All concepts of God is Culturally based
All of Nature is One and Universal.

In Nature it is Man who gives meaning to events and label them respectively.

I asked him that very question...He has yet to give me an answer.

mii doan tink so cah religion do ann ave been used to serve evil

So, why be involved in an evil organization such as Religion?

dat y da biggest bank inn da wurld iss da church ann yet dem adocating fe da poor wild gittinn richer wild da poor gittinn poorer.

I agree...And,they should sell their riches and take care of the poor.

can yuh blame god fe sickness?

Hmm, why not? If folks thank god and proclaim they are blessed by god, when something good happens...are they not cursed by god when something bad happens?

animal predation is boat good ann badd even iff itt look cruel

Good if you are the one doing the eating...not so good if you are one being eaten.

You have just defined Religion....
You believe in something that exist in your imigination,Not only believe but thinks it's real ....And that makes you delusional....

I am not sure I understand your reasoning here...Tangible means something real or actual not imagined
intangible is the opposite...Belivers went from intangible to tangible which I will say again is delusional

Apples and oranges....I see a plane everyday I have even been on quite a few of them...When was the last time you seen a God?

[franksterr]

In what way would you say I generalized?

ar yuh seyinn concepts aff nature is awlso cultural base?

Yes to some extent all concepts of Nature are culturally based
But what I am saying precisely is that.....concepts of God and good and evil are culturally based.

mii chattinn bout da god aff da ole testament cah sum rasta embrace da doctrine aff da bible

i don't know any "rasta" who thinks the bible alone is the source of knowledge & inspiration...especially seeing that the bible itself is not one book...

mii ave issue widd da wurd god cah itt too close to dog ann itt mekk mii wander bout da real intention aff itt

you must realize that different languages use the idea of "god" in different ways..."god" is a germanic word in the english language

usinn yuh line aff reasoninn aff narrow misguided wurd wood yuh sey da same ting bout blakk god dat rasta chatt bout?

depends again on your definition of "god"...like in psalms when it reads "i have said ye are gods"...i think you and many english speakers conflate many different ideas under one broad umbrella called "god"...which narrows your vision...
