Even baby class kids think class one book is a series of meaningless squiggles... So I understand your position

Thank you for this explanation. And, as I expected, you are going to get into some problems with our resident Christians Fundamentalists for daring to knock on their closed minds. Two things:

1. My explanation of what Isa's key message was is my own personal interpretation. It is certainly not shared by many Christians. I claim no real knowledge here.

2. My explanation of death and the limitation of descriptions that imply that we die when the body stops breathing, is based on my personal belief, one that I have thought about over many years and can back with some reasoned 'evidence.' Again not something shared by many including on this board.

It seems that we are in love with death, even as we claim to fear it - so much so that we have created whole belief systems, industries and philosophies around it.

This is the same argument we had here again with Tycho playing antagonist: do stones have consciousness?'

My answer is this:

Unity expresses itself in many, many, many forms. These include as human 'being', planets, rocks, Universes and, yes, chickens. Most dimensioned realities (Earth is one) require order, including that we place a 'hierarchy' on things and events.

In our reality, unfortunately, the lowly chicken it seems is assigned a fairly low place on the totem pole (except in Luyialand of course). But this order is our creation and ultimately means nothing.

To the fragment of Unity expressing itself as chicken, I believe there is no hierarchy at all vis a vis the one expressing as Masukuma, even though one eats the other.

So there is chicken paradise where everything a chicken thinks about is fulfilled? streets of layers mash? swimming in chick mash? is this in the same place near cat paradise? do cats eat rats in cat paradise? or is cat paradise rat hell? i.e. where all bad rats are sent to get punished?

This free will thing is kinda dicy! have you ever kept cattle or dogs? You can tell two cows or dogs have different "personalities". You find that one is prone to naughtiness! I remember one of my uncle's cows when pondering this point. She had bright eyes... and she would look you in a certain way before she decided to do certain naughty things. she would wait until you are almost done milking her and she would look at you and deliberately step in the milk bucket!! She had a bright eyed look! her roommate was chilled out! she did everything as expected - she was not naughty. Could we then deduce that from comparing these two cows that they have at least "plastic will"? I have also struggled to figure out - who actually coined the term "free will"... where is it found? is it a moniker representing sentience? intelligence?

On the squiggles - you pasting them here is as useful as reading the War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy to nursery kids. No one but you and I guess @kuru who understands. Ama unataka kuwa kama huyu jamaa

loving the sound of his voice and entertains himself by throwing big words at people never caring whether he is communicating or not...
Kwa ufupi - COMMUNICATE!

What you cannot understand does not make it squiggles. It simply means you are linguistically challenged, simply put: you are a nursery kid to some languages. Read the English part and ignore what you do not understand. But rest assured the part you do not understand is as clear as day to your fellow Christian who speaks the language.
