Fruit of "We are God!"

That 2nd quote is a valid point.
Thus we can consider, how can one be duped, so to speak, if who you quoted in the first post, is also the embodiment of the virtue posted in the 2nd quote.
It is the deeds in life that are our adorning.

I'm not inclined to ask it, because it has been asked on the forum previously, and the answers fell short of well reasoned response. No need to rehash it here or in a separate thread.
Why do you assume that God cares or wants justice? These are human attributes. Is God human?
Did God create the system? Where is the system's beginning?
It doesn't. It was an editorial remark.
Seems so.
Deeds like keeping slaves, denying homosexuals the rights to be natural, accusing other races to be inferiour, accusing other religions to be inferiour, excessive self-aggrandizing? If this is the 'embodiment of virtue' you are referring to, I want no part of it. There are far better role models to look up to.
Yes it is deeds that do the adorning, although 'adorning' in this case isn't exactly pretty.

Do Hindus who believe in 'all are God' believe God is not just, or creater of the system of karma, reincarnation? It is a question you need ask them, not me. I am just asking the question here, how all these believes are reconciled together.
Again, you assume a creator god. You assume samasara has a beginning; your assumptions are bound in time. As I see it, Brahman is not bound by time. Brahman has no beginning and no end. Brahman simply is.
I don't presume to speak for Hindus. I speak for myself.

I dont assume a time. Brahman is not a creator? He is not just?
Brahman is as much a creator of temporal being as a canvas is a creator of a painting.
As a Hindu, I concur with this. Brahman simply is. Beyond time, beyond form, beyond space.
You won't be able to understand it. It's Hindu, it's deep. That isn't a problem, it's just the way it is. Very different paradigms. To expect a person of the other paradigm to understand is folly. I will never ever understand the need for a prophet.
That statement can be reversed to say 'You will not be able to underatand it, it x Faith, its deep, etc
We must all have the capacity and if one thinks others do not have the capacity, what does that say about that thought?

I will never understand advanced Calculus. Lots of people simply do not have the capacity to understand certain things. To think that everyone can understand anything is pure folly. In a couple of years of discussing here, you have failed to understand much of mystic Hinduism at all. Similarly, I have failed to understand folks who follow a book based prophet religion. The physicist doesn't understand what a brain surgeon can do.
Besides, many things can't be understood without experience. Have you felt darshan? Does a man know what it's like to experience childbirth? Please don't proclaim your arrogance on that one.
In an ideal world, yes. But how many of us bother to obtain that capacity? How many lacking that capacity pass judgment on others as a result of ignorance?

Good luck with that. Let me know when you figure out what it's like to have a baby. I'd be keen on your description.
This is just the absolute height of unrealistic arrogance. I think it comes from this prophet's insistence in infallibility. Most folks can easily admit when they don't know something, or don't have the ability to understand. It's a very simple exercise in humility. Then again, apparently not that simple. "perfect in every way."
I in no way at all replied to that remark about childbirth.
But you can run with it, if it helps your view.
