re: #315 Walter L. Newton
One wonders… even if you believe in G-d, is it possible that these rules are simply a “goof” on humanity? If G-d is capable of being “all and everything” is he/she capable of capricious rules, for his enjoyment.
I find the rules may be arbitrary; however, I also find that following “the rules” cements me to my faith in a way I find enjoyable and gratifying.
This probably makes no sense to anyone else, I will admit that, so nobody needs to come out asking me questions.
It just is what it is.
