DO GOOD via politics means you can affect hundreds of millions of people.So is GOD confused? Can HE not make up HIS mind? Does HE set both before us and just lets us choose which HE means more?Anyone else wonder too about this? I dare not call it HYPOCRISY on the part of GOD. But it sure seems like it. Now could it possibly be that it is not GOD who is hypocritical and contradictory but the imperfect human beings who allegedly wrote down THE WORD OF GOD? I'm just asking. I don't KNOW. Do you? less

Being right is often an unknown. Nowhere three does ccertainty ever plant roots.Around me many are absolutely CERTAIN about many things..some are CERTAIN about everything. How did they get there? What paths did they take that I did not?
TWO GEARS. Intellect and Emotion. Switch from one to the other so that neither is oppressed or affected by outside influences.Which gear would YOU choose? Why?
Do never walk a path not traveled by others? Do you depend on others who have gone before you to clear the path to whatever lies ahead.I dunno. T'is a puzzlement. SIGH.
