Hi all,
Please be aware there are several insights going back a few pages prior to OUG's lengthy contributions to this thread. Posted by Oliver, Saturday, 14 August 2010 10:05:33 AM

Dear OUG,
"The comments/about.."puppets"..were based/more on/our..own primary existentialist-view..of knowledge/than his writings on God.>>>beyond/me...i never heard of the guy/only commenting...generally... <<If this/is true..(an I am not/saying it is),..there are major-issues..for free will>>>do explain." "..DO EXPLAIN": If are asking why a strict existentialist position has implications for free will it is that if we cannot absolutely trust our senses and knowledge is innate any true relevation from a God is implanted by God. If god allows some to know the truth of god and others not: One, god is being selectibe and, two, as the recipients are not free to choose theism or atheism. God chooses. Such a position would have enormous implication for traditional Christrian teaching. Kierkegaard did not mention puppets (that was me); yet, his core existentalist philosophy, I posit, would suggest such this. ith qualifier he seems to pull his punches on this matter when discussing God. Please also recall my remarksmade in the context of George's earlier OLO remarks on Paul Tillich. Tillich, if I understand him correctly, made a distinction between an unkownable, unobjectifiable god, and, the god of the scriptures, e.g, the god of man. So, in a sense, when a man/women says god exists; that scriptural god is something of; how can I say it? - Clayton's entity. Yet, Tillich's god "is", yet might not exist, as we might commonly denote the word the word exist. For the outside ajudicator having a transendental god above or in lieu of the scriptural god(s), the posit, disarms the anthropologists and academic theologians, because explaining political or histological motives wane. Yet, that situation, would not explain how a temporal being us) can know the non objectifiable god: Again, leading one to a spiritual infusion/injection, with or without existentialism.

OUG,
I have never responded to your twaddle as you obviously need help. I am posting now because I feel there is a duty of care. Seek clinical psychiatric help, advise the doctors that you have immersed yourself in a cult and are incapable of making rational analysis of your surroundings. I wish you well.

or decieve/themselves..into believing
and yes/i was a bit crude/..on the rusty-cath-hater..but really docters..are in a position/of honour..
to who/much is given..much more/is to be expected
lets face-it..all that biology-stuff..finalises..when the docter..tells you your going to die...
they abouve all/else..must be humanitarian..they abouve all..must have a conscience...
they/claim the facts..thus.must try hard..to find all../ALL the answers
take those/near-death/experiences...
its far too easy to come-down..on the side of some delusion..rather than face the fact...you will be confronted..with/..your miss-takes..EVEN..after death
and as/the highest cause of death..is death by docters/error..[to wit..miss-dia-gnosis..or over per-script-ion..or even to relieve/suffering..death by over dosing..pain-relief..
noting/most-of..us will have..'died..peacefully..in their sleep'..on our funeral notice../because the docter..orded the nurse..to give a higher dosage]..
and..im not.saying thats wrong..!
only that/they must ensure/they KNOW..and reveal...ALL THE FACTS..!
[many/if told by a docter..they only need
a healthy diet...or told they must exersize..one hour per day..or avoid salt..or transfats..or white/processed foods...
WILL ATTEMPT/to follow docters-orders
ok and many wont/
but,,if the docters added/to their tool-chest..not their armory...
the fact that their ailment...has a deaper/spiritual..under-lying cause..
that even/dying cant cure,!
in fact/will make redemption HARDER..
many/on their death-beds..will arise..and try harder
thats/only human/nature
we hear/many-times;how docters got it wrong
heard/how some are told..'you/will never walk-again'
yet did..!
have heard/how some are in remission..and others told you/gona-die
forgive my anger..but see
its by good reason..that docters
GIVEN...SOOO MUCH..be expected/to give the full truth
AND IF THEY DONT-KNOW..to clearly say so..!
but at-least/have put in the hard-yards,,to find out
OR suggest the possability/of alternatives..us lessor/humans..havnt thought of
DEAD dont mean/dead
no docter/has made life
in fact docters dont so-much heal others
as set the bone..till nature/heals itself...in a few weeks
or stitches a wound..together..till/nature heals it
or take these pills..till nature cures your cold
the whole medicine/industry..is there/as the pinicale of this deciete
of evolving genus..so we trust the docter..to take the latest jab..or go quietly..into the gas-chambers/under sedation
i will give you/the benifit of the doudt...rusty
now give me your evidence of evolving..
evolve your thinking..
dont just run-way
talk
