Which do you ascribe to God more: your victories or your defeats? Is it realistic to only expect good of God? Likewise, is it not blasphemy to ascribe only evil to God?

I am an absolute theist.
God is already facilitating all material pursuits.
The material Matter & energy cosmos are our play ground, where we are free to become champion Ballroom dancers or a Brain surgeon or a rocket scientist or a Dictator.
But the material laws allow freewill only to the best of our own ability & intitiative & level of conscious good-will ---this free-will also gets us Arrested by authorities & circumstances because we are "on our own recognisance" while taking birth after birth since time immemeorial here whitin the transceint material World.
We are spirit souls in the material world.
God facilitates us, spirit souls, our surjourn outside his abode, to seek "the Supreme Personality of Godhead" somewhere outside God's personal transcendent precincts.
God facilitates us, spirit souls to be free spirit souls in the temporal/always changing material world.
Spirit (soul) = eternal/cognate/blissfull.
Material (space/Time/forms) = created/maintained/desolved.
God = The transcendent "the Supreme Personality of Godhead"; the spiritural self-incarnated Persona whose own birth-right is his own embodiment as the original reservoir wellspring of personal opulences, namely, God is the most wealthiest, strongest, most intelligent, most famous, most handsome and most renounced Persona.
We spirit souls are a atomic sized part and parcel Individual with the same qualities as God . . . but in a very limited atomically scaled-down degree ---our independence from the Supreme-Soul's abode gets us into all sorts of whimsical and enmass karmic scenarios, since time-immememorial. This independence leaves us souls seeking for basic denominators:
1 eat
2 sleep
3 mate
4 defend
All forms of life perfrom these 4 catagories of work/Acts.
When we thing that their is no further sublime & profound truth above these four acts we are bestial and thus bound to Karma (acts) and karma's 're-actions (ugra-karma)' with nothing to look forward to except the repetition of the same ad-infinitum, birth after birth.

Interesting position. Explain what you mean by "spirit souls are a atomic sized part and parcel Individual with the same qualities as God . . . but in a very limited atomically scaled-down degree"
Are you saying in a pandiestic manner that we are all God, or that we rival God in a power paradigm?
It is entirely realistic to expect only good of God, if one of God's supposed attributes is "all-loving."
Does the bible say God is all loving, or that God is love? There might be a difference in there somewhere, if one were inclined to think about it.It is entirely realistic to expect only good of God, if one of God's supposed attributes is "all-loving."
The bible is a funny thing in that, as you put it, it must have taken a huge ammount of arrogance to pen the words it possesses. Yet at the same time, it claims and teaches humility is the key to life in some respects. Definitely interesting...I could never be so arrogant as to think some all-powerful being had specific interest in the day-to-day details of my life.
I believe there is a popular Jewish word that means to wrestle with God. You reminded me of that by saying "entangled with god"It does take colossal arrogance to conceptualize god. Once that occurs, I am of the opinion one becomes "entangled" with god. The mistake that often occurs is that speakers for god forget to stop being god.
Oh, and god is stupid huge enough to micro-manage. Be glad he (she, it, the number 4) doesn't.
I'm not sure the statement "God is love" is actually coherent, but go ahead and explain it if you want.Does the bible say God is all loving, or that God is love? There might be a difference in there somewhere, if one were inclined to think about it.

I don't ascribe either to any gods, though I do often ascribe them to the universe.Which do you ascribe to God more: your victories or your defeats? Is it realistic to only expect good of God? Likewise, is it not blasphemy to ascribe only evil to God?
