Models of God, Humanity, and Nature My Experiences, Thoughts, and Criti

Models of God, Humanity, and Nature My Experiences, Thoughts, and Critical Analyses I ask a push-down stack of questions Im a curious person. I once asked my mama why people die, why there are bad things in the world if God is so good and all-powerful. Her response was that we just couldnt really examine why God does anything beca engage we adviset hold on Gods master plan. Im sure that she was right, solely that response is not very satisfying to a curious pocket-sized boy. I saw an inconsistency in my understanding of reality, and I valued to get things straight. I guess this little anecdote begins to illustrate a couple of my basic life principles. A concise explanation of how I look at the world is just this We humans, as finite beings, use models to understand complex things God, Nature, Humanity and in doing so essential modify things. Theres nothing wrong with this simplification, as long as we know we are doing so and why. Our models of these complex things can be base on a number of things usually logic, evidence, and our experiences (Im probably exluding a powerful one, namely tradition). These varying models of reality, however, must be internally and outwardly consistent that is, with themselves and with other models utilise by a single person. When the models used by a person are internally or outwardly inconsistent with themselves or with logic, evidence, or experiences, the first reaction is probably mental confusion (or maybe anxiety), but in the continued search for consistency, one can arrive at further insight and a desired train of comfort in oneself and the way one views reality. I guess this is sometimes called the search for the meaning of life, although thats a rather grand give voice for ... ... Humanity, and Nature are inter-connected internally and externally, I must work to understand these relationships, and in doing so, I must work to maximize the enjoyment and wellbeing of all things relate d to me, directly and indirectly, consciously and unconsciously. Additionally, I must distribute all manner of things (entities perhaps) as subjects, rather than objects, recognizing that each has a take of being and enjoyment that it can attain, with the help of me and the rest of the world. I must work to avoid and eliminate violence of all forms by using memory, empathy, imagination, and true forgiveness to short-circuit the cycle. If I live my life in a continual state of change, using creative, responsive, and responsible love persuasively to acheive a higher level of good, then I will be living in a way thats consistent with go theologys Christianity.
