Louis C.K. kicks total ass! He's absolutely right. They can stick you in jail. But you'll always be free on the inside. That they can never take away from you. Imagination is limitless like the Universe

That's how the Divine power works against sinners. As for the earth's impending demise, well it does talk about "conflicts in the Heavens" which to me sounds like a metaphor for all the instability going on in space right now.

I'm a big fan of Carl Sagan by the way, do you watch the new Cosmos series?

Just curious I dig these types of discussions.

what i mean is this.... if there is a god and that god is loving, you then have to account for all the horrors of the world: children with cancer, birth defects, disease, children dying of starvation or dehydration ect.... you also have to account for the fact that most animals in the wild will die a violent, scary (for them) death.... you also have to account for various design flaws: the earth (while habitable) is very hostile toward human life, the sun (our only light source) gives us cancer if we arent careful, we eat and breathe from the same hole insuring some of us will choke do death annually (dolphins breathe and eat our of separate holes, so this isnt a hard concept for a god i would think), or the recurrent laryngeal nerve in giraffe necks. there is tons of evidence supporting the idea that the universe was formed without the aid of a creator or designer.

so, i would say, if the creator was worried about our 'sin', that creator should be more than able to forgive or to make it's creations clean again. you asked if i would take a mangy, rabid dog in... i have done very close to that many times.

i have also had forgiveness... so, i find it hard to believe that an all powerful god would have issues with that, especially considering that he (it) created the universe, people and situations he (it) is mad at.

i appreciate the conversation as well and i mean all of this with respect.
