How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

[sdi]

I'm pretty frustrated with this week's commentary on the Ecosophia Open Post, but I recognize that many over there are not spiritual, so I'll respond over here.

1. Every god is essentially good. [A]
2. The sun is a god. [A]
3. An essentially good being cannot perform a bad action. [A]
4. A Carrington-Level Event, should one occur, would be an action the sun performs. [A]
5. The sun is essentially good. [I, II]
6. The sun cannot perform a bad action. [III, V]
7. A Carrington-Level Event, should one occur, would not be a bad action. [IV, VI]

We mustn't fear the acts of god, for the acts of god are beneficent!

(I might also not that your inference is suspect. [1] and [2], together, imply that human notions of the gods' essences change over time, not that the gods change. Which, of course, we see throughout history.)

What can words you or I write be other than a human notion?

The point of this post wasn't "let's put the gods in a box," it was "don't worry about things you can't control!" The idea is not to draw the gods down to earth, but rather to raise ourselves to the heavens. Not only is that the proper use of logic—to double-check with discursive reason what we think we know via intuition—but it is also how we start to transcend human notions!

Thanks for clarifying the idea of the post. I had to read it a few times to before seeing what you mean.
