As for your feedback, I totally appreciate the engagement.
Good Morning Gregor,
Okay, let me start with your "There is nothing Theological about it".
Really!? What you said before was "The will of god (of your own understanding) will never take you where the grace of god (of your own understanding) will not protect you."
From that you imply that No Matter How Other People Understand God it is nonetheless true that the Will of God will set strict Boundaries of Non-Harm to everybody, but then there is the Catch, that God's Will is subject to God's Grace. Okay, so THAT isn't a Theological Topic, your implied distinction between God's Will and God's Grace. So God's Will can save us all but God's Grace is the Malignant Factor that causes so much Suffering in the World, that God is Intentionally Withholding his Grace. Why would God do that? Let me Guess. God is Withholding Grace in order to Enforce the Rules of a Temporal Religion that has only been in Existence for a DOT of the Time that Universe, God's Creation, has existed. Remember, your Religion is not really all that Ancient. There were Civilizations BEFORE your Christianity or 'whatever', but you are speaking in Doctrine Speak that is clearly Christian. It's not Islamic, It's not Hindu, It's not Buddhist, It's not Judaic.... sounds like Kansas to me. So of course you are speaking about Theology.
Then, okay, if you are speaking in regards to nobody else's Journey, then does that mean you think your personal case is unique, that you are specially Blessed. Maybe you are the Awaited Messiah! Really, if God bails you out of every difficulty, then maybe you should be more ambitious. If God will allow you to defy Death, then why do you fear putting yourself forward? I suspect that you assume that God will only protect you if you remain very very very careful. You know, Atheists can be careful too.
But, yes, one assumption that I have in regards to the World and the People in it is that we all live under the same Natural and Spiritual Laws. The only way our 'Gods' could behave differently is if there really isn't any UNIVERSAL God but that our 'Gods' are just manifestation of our Psychologies, that each functionally adequate individual has a Mental Slot for their own personal kind of IDEALIZATION... something INSIDE yourself that you get to pretend is OUTSIDE yourself and is YOUR FREIND and everybody else's ENEMY, or whatever your Idealization is supposed to be. You see, Religious Theological Ideals of God have not been Consistent. So if you are speaking for only yourself, then why would you ever bring it up? If it is just your own personal Delusion and you even KNOW THAT then, what, you have trouble discerning the ends to your own logic? You really don't think anything through to the end, do you?
How about "none of us wakes ourselves up". So what does that mean. Are you confessing that you were indoctrinated by some 3rd Party. That would make sense. You know, that does not mean you have been 'woken up' so much as you have been Programmed and Activated.
Your last line is, well, something we would expect a Lizard to say, "It’s pretty simple, over thinking and over analyzing separates the body from the mind." Well, NO! It's NOT Simple. Theological Debates can be very elaborate and the distinctions can be so fine that one needs to study years in order to recognize the significance of each nuance. But you would call that "Over-Analyzing". Really, I read a Thesis one time that asserts that Intelligence is proportional to the level of Complexity that can be comprehended. SO that means that people would only be talking about OVER-ANALIZING after they had already Hit Their Limit for Comprehendible Complexity. Are you REALLY Sure you can't push just a little bit further. Are you telling me that you would think it fine if you were a MONKEY because the only thing that important to you is to be ONE WITH YOUR BODY and that your MIND is a a Foreign Object just out to Ruin your Body's Blossoming in Self Indulgence. Is all you do is Eat and Play With Yourself... do all that good BODY Work!?
Our Minds are designed to be the Body's Look-Out and Advisor. Intelligence has Evolved because Intelligence has been proven to help. Remember Alexander Pope's "Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread". It is the quality of one's mental activity that separates the Wise Man from the Fool, isn't it. But you would shut off your Thinking because it is the only way you can in good conscious follow the Theology that was imposed on you by whoever it was who took you Captive. Do you ever see yourself as a puppet that is being Played. How much money are you funneling into the Church that Indoctrinated you? Maybe you need to be Woken Up again.
But it depends upon how much Intelligence you are intentionally turning off. Yes, if you really aren't that bright, then, well, all that I've written here will be like a Incomprehensible Fog. Ask yourself now whether anything I've said to you makes any sense at all. There may be no getting through to you. Your Church probably has a Pastor who specializes in running the same Routine over and over again with Impressionable Half Capacity Undereducated Persons. Supernatural Threats and Promises, along with some Social Support to make you feel good about making yourself their Slave. Man, do you realize you joined a Cult. That's what Cults are. Yeah, visit my YouTube Channel, and you can get a good perspective on Cults, but ONLY if I've been seriously underestimating you. But, really, if you know you are incapable of asserting Mental Leadership, then shouldn't you just concentrate on Listening. Don't talk about what you know you can't explain.
