Each of you have been given a life. Through the conscious self, you are able to be a steward of your life. What does it mean to be a good steward?

Through the life you’ve been given, you have access to the self who believes God exists and access to the self who doesn’t believe. As the conscious self, you don’t know which is true and therefore you don’t know which to invest in. How can you know? You have been thrown into this situation with no context.

Does the good steward, who truly cares for his life, not invest in both?

The good steward knows not to trust too much in one self over the other since he knows each is going to try to capture his support in order to receive more investment. First and foremost, the good steward must maintain an appropriate paranoia of being captured by one or the other.

The good steward resides over a life of division and contradiction. Do you know him?

The good steward is not lukewarm, investing little in each. Rather, he invests much in both.

The good steward is a central figure in furthering the story of the kingdom.

Do you see his presence in the parable of the prodigal son? Do you see his two interventions in the story, which he is able to make due to his identification and care for each brother? Do you see how the level up would not happen in the parable without the good steward?

The good steward is the right-hand-man. He is the humble servant.

In order to come into being, the GS must accept that he is not the main character of his own subjective story. The human body doesn’t belong to him.

He is the detached lurker. From this position, he is able to study the self, to reveal the one who he serves.

The main character is his older brother — the holy and pure firstborn who is the heir of a great kingdom. His brother is also his twin. What the firstborn experiences, the GS experiences and vice versa.

What is holy and pure cannot coexist with evil, sin, and death. Because of this truth, the reality of this world threatens the divine child with identity crisis.

Rather than risk identity crisis and being seen as fraudulent, the step father — who has been given custody of the child — causes the child to believe that he is just another creature of this world. The GS must fight against this by stepping in as a new father figure to the child.

The story of the soul can only be navigated through by the right-hand-man who is the good steward, or the detached, conscious self. He is the bridge to the great man who is the suffering, crucified orphan child.

The GS must believe in his brother and his story. He must become both a mother and father to his brother in order to guide him along.

He is to protect his brother and his life from the great man. But when pain and suffering strike — and the cost of relating to the great man lessens — the GS must serve the great man for the sake of his brother.

No one has a self that believes a god exists, it is an unproven myth that has to be implanted in us by our parents, church or society.

The concept of the soul has been dead for over a hundred years, it’s been clearly established that every aspect of our decisions and thoughts are driven by physical processes. The most compelling evidence is the massive changes in personality, desire and thought processes that occurs in the brain damaged.

Nonsense. The Bible claims the Christian God was holy and pure, and also vengeful, angry and perpetrator of vicious genocides against whole peoples including women, children, infants and pregnant women with unborn children , and director of brutal rapes and mass enslavement.

I do not recognize the genocidal god as God. Anyone who does is in error.

Still, God is sovereign so he must face judgment for the actions of that god.

God has to pass judgement on himself? Sounds like he’s gonna be acquitted.

And so the entirety of the Bible is false and should be disregarded? Who are we worshipping here, Zeus?

Maybe this:

Rather than completely separating God from the enemy, I use the analogy of the eclipse. The moon only gets its light from the sun, and when you’re looking at the eclipse, the moon is front and center, but you’re still seeing aspects of the sun.

I have to say, escape is not the mission. We are going to establish the kingdom here on earth right under the nose of the fraudulent god.

Right there is unabashed religious zealotry to an embarrassing degree. These true believers are the same as they ever were, and don't know when to be embarrassed. I might as well say god is coming to help me commit genocide on a neighboring town according to his plan. That's not a steward, that's not good, that's not honest, that's not reality. What it is is just another example of extremism that substitutes religious doctrine for reality.

Hey OP... Evil is real.

More real than good? Which is more real - life or death?
