you make the beasts sound luckier.
I would have to respectfully disagree, whether or not we strive to be mini devinities and less like beast, we will always have evil. I say this because evil stems from more than beastial activities. Beast do not feel greed, they do not feel envy, they in a nut shell do not act as humans do. Evil is in the heart, and mankind will always have difficulty overcomming it, and they will never truly defeat it. If they could, they would never have the need to ask forgiveness. I for one applaud and admire those whom are able to achive purity (and I mean true purity, not perceived purity), though they are so few as to seem nonexistant. I also believe that the true intent behind creation was for balance. Almost eveything in life is in finding a balance, science has balance, nature has balance, religion has balance. You can not have right without having something to show you what is wrong. Will we ever be truely good, no, but neither will we ever be truely bad either.

Anyway Where does Divine come from anyway? I'm talking bout the etymology.
heyy guys what up i haven't made any new topics in awhile and i thought of something and have decided to post itit is the reason why man cannot understand the concept of god (at least in the christian view)and it simply ignorance but in a way i haven't heard from another beforeand before i start using interpretive sayings il get to the pointgod is not simply goodthis is the reason we are failing in becoming what mankind was meant to becomegod is both good and evilhe is and embodiment of both at the same timehe has murdered, he has saved to put it plainlyif god is simply existence, if existence can only exist through god and god was simply good there would be no evil because it would simply not be able to existthe fact that we believe it to exist means it has to exist in god really the perfect symbol for him would be the yin/yangbecause he is light within perfect darkness and still darkness within perfect lightanyways the point being is in order for humans to achieve, understand, or even really appreciate god or his willhumans must invite the balance of perfect evil and perfect good into him
What is true purity?Nirvana?
