Tony\'s God (Introduction)
Your Honour, this case is not about my client’s murder of Abel, which cannot be condoned, but the prosecution are making an ever stronger case against the powers-that-be for extreme provocation.
I have to agree with dhw's last sentence above. This is just one reason I am inclined to view this "God" that Adam and Eve, their children, and he whom the Old and New Testament refers to as God, as not "The" God, but a god or gods. I am not making a judgment about this god being a bad or good god. But obviously, to me, this god has (human like) preferences, ideas and "needs." For me, these beings of the scriptures referred to as angels, archangels, gods and so on...(if they truly are real?) can all be summed up in one single word: Aliens. Those not from here.
It makes more logical sense to me that "if" Adam and Eve, and other humans the many sacred books speak about, did indeed have communications with gods, angels, beings, etc., that those beings were not from here and obviously had to be an advanced race of beings. If these advanced races did have something to do with seeding the earth and creating humans, then maybe we had a right, at the time, to consider them "gods," in a sense. But for me, now, as I see it, they are not the creator of all that IS; ie., everything. They, too, are a part of creation, just as we are. Even if they had a hand in genetically engineering us, and thereby believe they have the right to be called "gods" they did not create the matter that we are - or for that matter - the matter that they are.
In my view, the creator God of all that is - IS All THAT IS! The very stuff every thing is made of. Within this creative energy that IS, is no judgment and no need, only creative change that had no beginning and has no end. This, the "God" of Adam and Eve and those written about in our sacred books, cannot claim.
Sorry to interrupt the proceedings. But wondering as a jury member if I should be disqualified for my belief?
