For my friend Franko.
Greetings ..
Franko perhaps you have been too busy to respond to my last post or our conversation at the “ Ideal Religion” thread.
It was long as we know I am very detail driven and do tend to go on.
If you will allow. Let us skip over all the rest of the post and my points and questions and just address my response to your last paragraph of your last post to me.

There is two main problems with your statement above both are contradictions to your earlier statements concerning your beliefs.
1- You have said in the past “she” ( your Goddess) DID become upset that people did not believe in her and follow her wishes and would punish them. Perhaps my explaining to you that the flaw in that belief was, you believe we have no free will and she controls us completely and if we did not believe in her it would have to be what she wanted.. See I do help you.
2- In addition for you to believe what you said as to her “concerns”/desires means that some beings do not do as she wishes i.e. treating other “souls” well. This clearly means you DO believe in some form of free will..
You see if that was her desire and concern and she controlled all things and all things were fate if some “souls” did not treat other “souls” well it would be her fault not theirs. So if it were her desire that all treat others well she better fix it, not become angry or disappointed in us who have no free will. Right?
2 and the Goddess controls all things
3- How can she want people to do what she makes them not do?
I respect you believe that.
BUT if there is no free will then if soul A does not treat other souls well it is the fault of YOUR Goddess not “soul” A. Frank think about what you say.
How can it be a test if there is no free will? Such a test would be like a teacher giving her students a math test. She also gives half the class the right answers and the other ½ the wrong answers to use on the test. She then tells them to make sure to use only the answers she provided to respond to the test.
How can she then fail the ½ she gave the wrong answers to and be angry they failed the test they had no chance of passing?
Great, a very loving Goddess you have there. She makes you do bad things and then she punishes you for doing what she makes you do???
Franko you are a very intelligent guy but you clearly do not think out what you say and believe when it comes to this.
This is like a baker that makes a cake using all chocolate ingredients, 100% chocolate ingredients then when the cake is done and is a chocolate cake. The baker becomes angry at the cake because it is not Vanilla.

The “God” that I worship does not really care about whether you worshipped her or even acknowledged Her. She is more concerned with how you interacted with the other entities (Souls) you encountered while here.

I would say that this universe is a test. It is a test to see how compatible your Soul is with other Souls.
I respect you believe that.
BUT if there is no free will then if soul A does not treat other souls well it is the fault of YOUR Goddess not “soul” A. Frank think about what you say.

If you are a compatible entity then you will end up in a place with many, many other compatible entities. However if you were an incompatible entity then you will end up either isolated and utterly alone, or else you will go to the place where all of the other incompatible entities went and you can all be incompatible together for the rest of eternity.
