Hi POV,

I 've seen your quote
"A man is dying of thirst in the desert.
A man turns up with water and saves his life.
What saves him?
The water? No.
The man who provides the water? Yes.
The man is greater than the water."

Well, lets think a little about it... Do you think that water equals to God? For your God perhaps that's true as you do not refer to anything else than a common human feeling, perhaps M. is greater than this, the same way a phychologist is greater that the calmness he might offer... I could accept that... But for many other God is such a different think... not water... not a feeling... not calmness...

Moreover, would you accept water from a man that he would claim that you owe him your life after that? And if you needed water twice to whom would you owe your life? BOTH? This turns you to a slave POV... If you accept another person having the right of life and death over you: this is the definition of slavery (literally! at least at Hegel's philosophy not to mention other). Have you ever heard of the moto "Freedom of Death? How stupid people those should be according to you and M.... You 'd prefer slavery for a cup of water I suppose and then you would even praise your new Master right?

Of course... this is not about this life... it is about the eternal life you may answer: well then it is not about slavery... it is about eternal slavery I respond...

There are so many things to say about this... I feel already sick with the idea that he who reveals God is greater than God. If so, why not revealing himself? I 'd be more interested in him than God if he was greater POV!!!

Another thing that makes me sick is "God as a supreme being" greater than whatever etc. I don't believe in such a God though I consider myself a Christian.

And another question. If M. is greater than God I think he is greater that you...Right? So, God below M. you below M. equals to POV=God? Think a little about it...

And what about all of us the non-premies? Where is our position? Above, below or next to M.? Sure below! To God? Sure below! To POV? GUESS!!!

Once again, I am sorry to be hursh... really... but I cannot stand it more...

Regards,
G.
