Can a fool, fool God?
What Baseball-club owner would pay his worst ball-player the same money as his best? Since he is the owner he can do anything and even through compassion make such a reward. But let's measure the disadvantages of such a measure, his club would go bankrupt and his worst players would never strive to be better while his best players would do less since it makes no sense to be the best.
Baseball will become non-competitive and the millions who would be deprived of its entertainment will no longer support it, not to mention the thousands that will be affected by employment.
If there were such an owner who lacks such business sense, he would be called a fool, won't he? A fool has no value for time or knowledge and so he remains a fool all his life. It certainly requires no effort to be a fool and in the end he repents for being a fool and gains salvation.
On the other hand, a wise man that values his time and works diligently and strenuously daily all his life, in his efforts through austerity to attain higher wisdom also gains salvation. Now I ask what would we call the 'All-powerful' God of the Bible, that can do anything, who gives the same reward of heaven to both a fool and a wise man? To an intelligent soul, he is not only human like the Ball-club owner but even more foolish.

"Revelation is a communication of something which the person to whom the thing is revealed did not know before. For if I have done, a thing, or seen it done, it needs no Revelation to tell me, I have done or seen it done nor enable me to tell it or write. Revelation therefore cannot be applied to anything done upon earth, of which man is himself actor or witness and consequently all the historical part of the Bible which is almost the whole of it, is not within the meaning and compass of the word Revelation and therefore is not the Word of God." Thomas Paine. |
