Why?
--- End quote ---
Because if god exists and merely pretends not to exist he might as well not exist at all for all intents and purposes.
--- Quote ---Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
— Epicurus, philosopher (c. 341-270 BCE)

Samara:
That Epicurus quote is exactly why I can't buy in the idea of an Omnipotent, all-loving God. My problem with religion is the people. :)

Mr. Jung makes my point.

That's Doctor Jung, Danny.

I am very well aware that Mr. Jung is a Doctor of Medicine, he actually interned quite literally during WW1. His relationship with Sigmund Freud was a interesting one up until they split over the "unconscious". Mr.Jung believed in a deeper unconscious dealing with mythology. Mr. Jung, is well known for his psychoanalytic movement.
I am not a scholar by no means but I have been reading Jung for some time. Freud, was a great read for his interpretation of dreams.
