Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Dear God, please confirm what I believe

THAT is not only interestering but also frightening. It is also the third most popularly read article on "New Scientist" " today

Interesting in that I have found whenever I try to reason an omnipotent, loving God should be able to "do this, see that, help this, avoid that" I get told not to try and figure the mind of God. I am reminded I am human and can have no understanding of God's great plan. Frightening because if people create God's laws "in their own image", so to speak, then is boils down to using God as a scapegoat for evil doings, thereby never having to take responsibility for wrongful, terrible actions. Forgiveness, therefore, is all about who you can blame the bad act upon and, if it's God, then how can we possibly understand?

My simple brain now hurts so I am going out to listen to some great live folk music courtesy of a local Folk Club!
