So much of both Jewish and Christian doctrine rests on the idea that God is an angry father who is about to strike down anyone showing the slightest sign of disobedience.
The essence of Goodness, however, is raising up. You are not trying to demand obedience from anyone, but rather to raise them up to your own level, which would include raising them within their own individuality.
And I believe God is good. I also believe we are almost uniformly blind.
There are many mysteries. The brain clearly affects behavior and perception, but perception and behavior seem clearly to be severable from the brain. Perhaps one day how all this works will be obvious. I continue to hope humanity, and the scientific world in particular, end this phase of global madness, and begin to focus on what really matters, rather than running about like headless chickens, devoid even of the possibility of accidental wisdom.
