- The post that John A. Johnson answered on the unfairness of life, was in answer
- to someone who asked what questions had caused me to leave the church and to
- search for answers. John gave three reasons why these injustices might exist.
- >(1) the creator does not care about fairness; (2) we are to dim to perceive
- >the fairness; or (3) there is no creator being.

- I would put forth a fourth alternative - our religious forefathers just
- didn't get it and their idea of God which we have been indoctrinated with
- has made it extremely difficult to perceive beyond rejecting what is
- absolutely unacceptable to us. Not only do we hold God up to show how
- His presence is detectable physically - but we hold Him up to the old
- paradigm. Talk about shoting ourselves in the foot.
