This came as an "appropriate summary" question in one of the CL assignments. I forgot which assignment it was, so i have been looking for this on the internet. Found it today... Some people think like this too......
“If God is all powerful, then nothing a human being does should affect him. For, if a human act could please or displease God, then human beings would have the power over God. So, either God is not all powerful, or God does not give a hoot what you or I do. But, if God isn’t all powerful, then he isn’t really god and he couldn’t send us to hell even if he wanted to. So, sin at will; for either God doesn’t care what we do or he cares but can’t do anything about it”

crap.
@ varun
.. What rubbish man! Stop trying to agree or disagree always... At least it is one paragraph that people never forget after reading. The argument is beautifully put... can you not appreciate that?
Its not about appreciating or not-appreciating...
even tongue twisters are appreciable but they aren't always intersting...
BTW i learned this AGREEING OR DISAGREEING ALWAYS from u my friend..how can i stop it :D
reason why i found this crappy is that it seems like someone who doesn't wanna believe in god wrote these lines to prove that whatever sins he does are not bad, artiulately put but if i say "White is a very light shade of black" it doesn't make white = black. All I m saying is that everything articulate can't be intersting and anything that denies involvment of god in our lives is crap.
PS: i believe in God big time.
@ varun..
Another useless comment!... "anything that denies involvement of god in our lives is crap".. What rubbish man? Anyway, enough from you on this one!
a passage which may have been written by a person who saw things falling apart around him like loss of a loved one or a natural disaster and then out of sheer disappointment tried to get back at god. seeing mass scale human sufferings, at times even i feel in a similar way and wish to indulge in sins unforgivable. but its just not the fear of god but compassion for people is what which holds me back
There's no question of pleasing or displeasing God..and secondly,it does not anywhere imply that that would have the power OVER God..
When I first heard of this from you, I reacted exactly the way Varun did.. ("crap")..
but after reading Siddharth's comment, I kinda like that approach as well..his first sentence I mean..and completely agree with it.
And btw.. I am a lil surprised when I see your reactions to the comments.. as far as this post is concerned (i.e whatever replies you threw back @ varun..)
Anyway, I do want to say that this was a good read. Different in a way not many things have been!
