Tony\'s God (Introduction)
My experience is that wherever you go, you will find among ordinary people just as much warmth, humour, empathy etc. as you will find cold and callous self-interest. There is a balance in human nature, but it has been distorted by a now seemingly unchangeable institutionalization of power. We all know that power corrupts, and those who have it are the ones who tip the balance towards what you call “mistakesâ€, whether political, economic, educational, or religious.
That is why I wrote the first book. But electorates are at complete fault. They vote for the guy who promises the biggest government trough. It is Athens all over again.
Tony, I’ve never thought, let alone said any such thing. That is a misunderstanding brought about by my questioning God’s nature and my suggestion that he’s a mixture of all the attributes – good and bad – that he has poured into us, his image. The mixture is at the heart of all my arguments.
God is not mixture, but his creations with free will are.
