Post Morally Coherent God - Joseph Sabella

'They delay finding the roses of spiritual meaning hidden deep within their pain. Because of this delay, they continue to suffer and hold on to shallow meanings about themselves, others, or life. A person who remains open to their suffering will learn spiritual lessons from it and gain a deeper and more compassionate understanding of themselves, others, and the purposes of life.'

I wonder how God intended Adam and Eve to gain a deep and compassionate understanding of themselves when He intended originally for there to be no suffering.


I wonder how I can persuade Mr. Sabella to learn spiritual lessons and a deep and compassionate understanding of himself, others and the purposes of life.

Perhaps attaching electrodes to his genitals might work.

I really don't want to hurt him, but how else is Mr. Sabella going to learn spiritual lessons, and find the roses of spiritual meaning (in the brief periods when he stops screaming)? In fact, I would probably be doing him a great favour, for which he should thank me.

Mr. Sabella also writes 'If God exists, then He has limited omniscience.'

'Limited omniscience'. What does this mean? 'A finite infinity'?
