LDS Demonology?

[_moksha]

It is sad to even begin to imagine the treatment past believers in demons would have heaped upon a bi-polar dolphin, when one Wellbutrin XL Tab stuffed in a sardine served as a sufficient remedy. That's not to say the dolphin would not have enjoyed an olive oil massage.

Special thanks to my daughter for helping me with this thought.

You are fallible. God is not. God can do things we cannot. God can inflict suffering knowing that the end will be more glorious for it. We do not have that foresight or that mandate.

It's that straightforward. Basically, there is no possible action by your deity that would justify any human being in thinking that he had done wrong.

I didn't say that. Read Job for a fuller explanation.

He could arrange to toast babies over a slow fire for millennia, and while he was doing that someone who believed in your religion would feel obliged to continue to sing his praises, in the assurance that it will all be for the best in the end, and the screaming babies don't know what is good for them.

In this particular instance I would be compelled to request/demand of God a justification.

I am encouraged by your reaction. There are evidently some things that your deity might (at least appear to) do that would cause you to feel that in those instances you were not prepared simply to take it on faith that he was doing the right thing. By the way, if would seem to me that in taking this attitude you are not following Job (to whose story you refer) all the way. Have I misunderstood you?

While I don't have a blind faith in human reasonableness and decency surviving despite the effects of some religions (it clearly doesn't always, nor does it always flourish in the absence of religion), I tend to keep hoping that it will, and in this instance my hope has been to some extent fulfilled.

Hello,

I'm actually a bit sympathetic toward Mr. The Nehor. I heard voices last night.

Then I realized I left the tv on.

ESPN at 3 am is very disturbing, by the way.

I think you have misunderstood Job.

Could be. Maybe even both of us ... Job is not here to settle the matter.

Nor was he ever anywhere.

Liars go to hell.

Huzzah.

Sounds like a waste of a perfectly good life.
