Subject: RE: So do we live to die and comeback ....?
God is not your boss, Weelittledrummer. The concept of bosses is one limited to competitive creatures such as human beings, dogs (pack animals), and goats (herd animals). God is simply the ocean in which you, the fish, is swimming. The ocean is powerful all right, but it has no orders for you to follow, no demands to be met, no punishments to mete out upon the disobedient. No axe to grind, in other words.

Oh, there are consequences for foolish acts, all right, but those just happen automatically...cause and effect. That's karma. There's no one casting judgement upon you, but if you drink too much, you'll still get a hangover. Cause and effect, that's all. The wise avoid foolish actions for this reason, and practice moderation. The reckless charge in, heedless of the cost.

Either way, it's your choice. That's what I call freedom. ;-)

"God" grants total freedom, within the obvious limitations of physical existence as we know it. People make a million laws and rules, and they take it away, bit by bit.

The worst thing I ever saw done to my freedom as a living being was being put in "school" against my own will from the age of 7. Preparation for a life of slavery is what that really was.
