By karmic theory you have the children with Guinea worms in Africa covered, but what about the animals? How come some were created with the skill of a kill bite and others. (plenty of others) eat each other alive? This kind of behavior is worse than the poorest run slaughterhouse ethically isn't it? So the buck stops with the creator. If he was consistently compassionate he wouldn't have done such a poor job with his creation no matter what he "claims" in the scriptures. The God of the Old Testament is one version of highly petty and spiteful,murderous god. As far as the Hindu scriptures, go I'd say the whole Mahabharata has some good examples of a bloodthirsty god who has little regard for human suffering. There were many other options for how those battles could have gone down if compassion rather than "being right" was the goal. Unless you take it, as I do, as all mythology and skip the literal belief in a god completely. Then it is a great read with plenty of instructive insights about human nature rather than an insight into a version of the god idea. Thanks for the response. I understand our POV is miles apart and I appreciate your willingness to discuss. Especially since so far all I have done is lobbed snark bombs your way so far. > > --- In [email protected], "curtisdeltablues" > <curtisdeltablues@> wrote: > > > > Yes, but you said it. > > > > Everytime we open our mouth isn't the karmic wheel further engaged? > > Munis understand this and don't speak unless spoken to, if at all. > > > > Yeah cuz as we know from the world's scriptures, the creator is kind > > of a vindictive prick and doesn't even show the compassion and > > understanding of the guy I sit next to on the bus.
