Only a completely unintelligible God can be said to be absolutely good and absolutely powerful yet tolerate the world as it is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
God made and governs the world invisibly, and has commanded us to love and worship him and no other God; to honor our parents and masters, and love our neighbours as ourselves; and to be temperate, just, and peaceable, and to be merciful even to brute beasts.
Intellectually, now, I believe that it is a complete vanity to say positively there is no God.
Whence it follows that God is absolutely perfect, since perfection is nothing but magnitude of positive reality, in the strict sense, setting aside the limits or bounds in things which are limited.
'God' - as revealed in his book of edicts and narratives is practically an idiot. He has nothing to say that any sensible person should want to listen to.
But God, who is the Eternal Mind, is undoubtedly of excellence, complete and perfect in every part.
I think God is perfect, all-powerful and has an unstoppable plan for everyone, including those who love him and those who don't.
God is another name for human intelligence raised above all error and imperfection, and extended to all possible truth.
A god whose creation is so imperfect that he must be continually adjusting it to make it work properly seems to me a god of relatively low order, hardly worthy of any worship.
There can be goodness without much intelligence - but it seems to me that perfect intelligence and perfect goodness must go together.
No one can appropriate God, goodness, the Bible or Jesus. It just seems that way.
