Greatest I am
My main point is to try to get people thinking of how evolution and our need to compete screws up both God and those who think we always can choose to do good. Do you see it?

Problem is...good, eeevil would need to be qualified within a framework that accounts for 'evolution', God and whatever other contingency you could choose (or not) to include...which is the nose on our faces, that we choose not to see (means looking at yourself in a mirror!)...religious doctrine (mainly the larger ones) externalises this process and turns it into a cartoon pastiche that is dissected waaay too seriously...especially when 2000+ years of 'expert' commentary has introduced the means to debate most insignificant details that can be yapped at till the cows come home...in the game of backgammon, there are rules...the dice introduce ways in which those rules can be followed, or applied (according to natural moves)...a well-thought-out strategy can be foiled by the throw of a dice...is this the result of that dice throw, or the one you made 20 throws back?

"Everything is allowed, you just dont know it." Quote VHB
Ain't that the truth Ruth!...As expression of God, I reserve the right to royally screw up as much as I like, kind of counter-intuitive...but some artists like to ruin their own creations...which is thier right to do...and I also give myself the permission to forgive myself for ruining my own creations...
Had to edit this...little bit bad analogy...DNA/image/children...probably a better analogy...why would I blame them for evil acts after bringing them into existence in the first place? (probly not much better...I'm having a 'taxing' day)

Or...everyone's holding only UNO wildcards, reversing ad nauseum on themselves...servo-mechanisms use both (uninfused with divinity, except by proxy)...I'd ask questions too......and some units are 'into' discipline...I have no explanation for it...Å99

You would have to define your idea of 'god', (personally I dont think that being exists (other than its expressions of itself); mammal, animal, mineral, flora, fauna. Needing to compete is not relegated to the human mammal..it spans all specie; survival of the fittest. Evolution is the natural generator or by product of the success of such specie. If one were to inject an actual 'overlord' that proclaimed itself into that mix the blame game (finger pointing) begins. We exist, who created us, whos responsible for this mess etc. The choosing to 'do good' is entirely an individual decision, just as is allowed the 'choosing to do bad' is equally allowed. You just have to have the determination to know self rightously what you are doing is OF PURE INTENT and understand its ultimate consequences. Everything is allowed, you just dont know it.

Im thinking the scrabble tile/chicklets have been shorted, some are being hidden in someones pockets; (Security hasnt been alerted) the game cant be played (reasonably) without all alphabetic characters. There is no reasoning regarding the hijinks that seem to confound most. The NEW servo-mechanisms seem to exist to warp, twist or push to the death all architypes known to human history and perhaps create new ones. How would I know; I am a progenitor.

The Godhead I know is a non-interfering cosmic consciousness who basically ignores us until found. I have no proof of my apotheosis but that belief has nothing to do with my view of evolution.
I don't understand your last.
Where I live, everything is definitely not allowed.
The last time you competed for resources or a job and won, you created losers of those you beat out. They would have seen their loss as evil because if you happen to live where there are no safety nets, the loser might die.
Can you go through life without doing evil from the losers POV when you compete?

Maybe (just an idea, since it involves an incarnate concept of time) progenitor status, eschewing this sector, abides at an elsewhere...And rejoins the game here with better perspective Casino mahjong benders could probably make you feel like life was a series of tile dispensations...scrabble, more problematic...letters make words...words - sentences, sentences - paragraphs, paragraphs - little golden books...you can't reverse out of that without making concessions...especially to your ante strategy...

The NEW ones are well equipped with 'new & improved' modules...they're just having fun pushing the edges of the envelope...approaching the karma singularity at full speed, testing the waters, cranking it up to 11...just for the heck of it...sometimes crashing, sometimes lifting Fly-like to another 'table'...sometimes you don't need the DeLorean...but cause & effect get addled, and you knoe what I mean...
You can 'help' do evil, but, that 'help' relies on being on-table...chip-hiding, table 50...damned incarnation!

Apologies...that's a more interesting question...
POV is king...and assuming the same divinity (if you do), that person you describe is you at another juncture...you can only be as kind as you can be, because solid objects (containing drivers) will collide...that can't be helped...it is the result of you and many others (trying not to do evil)...in achieving 'one-mind', there will be no need to bifurcate and experience things schizophrenically (love to all the schizophrenics)...that's where we find ourselves...on a battle field, in warfare...against ourselves...

Love others as you would love yourself.
Do to others as you would have done to you.
Try putting yourself in someone elses shoes...
Try to empathise...
This is 'unworkable rhetoric' for you?
So...you are recluse, who lives on thier own, has no meaningful contact with human (except over interwebs)...it becomes 'unworkable' (or not) in the living of, and being a recluse, you would have no need for the quality of empathy...
...and for future reference, don't bother linking me to anything that has no explanation of what it is being linked to...I do not follow them.

Empathy is nice for you to do as you create a victim to your competition. Nice to feel his pain from your evil but it does not prevent you from winning at that competition.
That is the point and the catch 22 we are all in.

Empathy is not 'nice', and its not something you directly do...it's a feeling that you accept...The crap about 'create a victim from your competition' relegates what you seem to be saying, into a mario carts life and death match...only a 6 year old sensibility throws a tanty when they feel like they're losing a race...'it's sooo NOT fair' and that's a matter of perspective...when you see yourself working on a TEAM, there are no individuals (or shouldn't be) and couching your argument in terms of a competition is lending the implication that you are separate from everyone...I myself, do not have a superiority complex...

True VHB, empathy is not 'nice'...anyone I have ever encountered who was afflicted, never described it as 'nice'...so I am not alone in this assessment..., and one could only conclude from a description of empathy, as nice, that it is simply an intellectual placeholder (until 'we' understand more)...OP at least shows the modicum of inquiry (whether empathy is an issue or not) that would try to make sense of an apparent conundrum viewed waaay close...Hah ha ha...pins in pockets, that's gold right there!

Who is this creature John c c.?
Empathy seems to be a reminder to ME that "YES YOUR HUMAN DEAL WITH IT", its your hijinks your plan that you manufactured before incarnating (you have to remember the PLAN IDIOT) I get it. Still, the proceedural manual (3 ring D binder) didnt come with the birth process, (cigarettes and empty beer bottles) so I have to as you do reinvent the 'wheel'. I have to understand my purpose before incarnating and then after incarnating execute my DIABOLICAL PLAN for changing the worlds perception of A GOD, A GOD ASPECT, YOU.
