A bit more for Max on God

It is understandable that people might say why would any God allow trouble and downright badness to happen if he is the All Powerful.  This would be true if God was a separate being outside the creation with a sort of giant cctv which could detect each thing before they happened and stop the bad things.

But if He is not separate but totally exists in all beings as life itself, and as life as an undeniable good, then it is up to us to make that life relevant.

If you go to the playground, you learn how to enjoy yourself but also how to manage the others who all want to play on the monkey bars; you learn about your strengths and also how to look after others.  You might be a bit of a bully but for sure, the other children will make sure you know that you aren't popular.  So you soon get to decide how to use your choices.

When you become a grown up, (all too soon), these lessons you have learned still apply and you can decide for yourself what a good action is and if the good action allows you to look after yourself and your family without making another person, family or business suffer then you have done well.  That is how the world is meant to be.  That is how being in tune with God works best.
