Problems with this section; for Frank (Agnosticism)

"To follow up BBella's questions about "evil": if all consciousness stems from God, why do you limit the divine promptings to love, compassion and experience of beauty?"
My reply was, "Mystical experience." But that was too flippant an answer, stemming from "limited perspective" when I gave it. I should first have pointed out that in listing "love, compassion and experience of beauty" I am not "limiting" divine promptings to them, but merely listing some properties that are certainly included in the divine essence.-But I am excluding "selfishness, wickedness, aggression etc." because they only arise because of limited perspective and God's perspective is complete. An example of what limited perspective can do is when I act aggressively on this forum and impatiently dismiss expressions of incomprehension. It is my lack of a divine perspective that causes me to do this.-And I think (I hope, that is) the reason some of my posts don't get through is because I press Preview and not Submit and then close IE.
