RE: Evil. Should we keep it simple and stop trying to put it in a box?
I believe in eternal life. Not because of magic, but technology. It's a long explanation, and for another post.
But, in eternity, we're all gonna end up getting along. Eventually. You and I. HRC and Trump.
Part of the reconciliation process the savage enemies of days will have to undertake (not because it's imposed on them, but because they won't be able to make peace without it) will be self reflection absent any blinders, or rationalizations, or excuses.
That will be a far more terrible judgement than any from another source.
That's what judge not, lest you be judged means to me. The judgements you make on others you will turn on yourself, and then, knowing full well who you are and what you did, you will have to seek peace from those you harmed.
This will not be easy, but will create true friendship in those that, in time, make peace.
Thanks for your personal investment in being a good person, and sharing part of that journey here. It is inspirational.
Thank you for your kind words. I try to be good. Yet according to some just by writing this very post I might be a Luciferian. :)
Which that type of labeling was why I actually wrote the post.
I don't have a specific belief on what will come in the future. I've played the game with friends when I was younger that we would make up a new religion and explanation for things like the after life once and hour.
We'd make some crazy stuff up. Most of the time it ended up being stuff similar to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster - R'Amen. Yet sometimes it seemed half way plausible.
If anything it showed me that I and my friends have vivid imaginations. So I can speculate on many different things that seem plausible about the afterlife and the future.
I stopped taking my speculations as facts or something I believe. Instead I simply view them as one among many possible possibilities.
The only thing I truly know is that each of us WILL get the chance to find out the answer to the after-life question. I'm hopeful there is something to it as then it'll simply be a new leg in the adventure.
