"Saint Basil explains that anyone who says he knows God is perverted. Not merely wrongheaded, perverted. Dangerous. A danger to himself and to those he teaches." So remember that.

we're bargaining with God…

there is no bargain. God is, and you either align with that, or not

says he knows God is perverted

this is the only way to truth, is to come to know god. wow this idealogy is backwards.

We do not love God as we love other persons or things in life.

God is all things, so loving life is loving God

Furthermore, we cannot even say that God is good.

yes, yes we can. God is Go(o)d .. evil folks know they are evil, if God was wishy washy on this point, they evil, dumbasses would align with that

40,000 mothers beg God for bread and water for their children, and their prayers are not heard, every day.

as I understand it, God setup the rules, and if you don't follow them.. then you get what you get .. it isn't out of malice it is that the world gives you EXACTLY what you actually expect, not what you want.. not what you wish.. (those are things you 'want' and therefor they stay in the realm of the wanted instead of HAVING)

perhaps this is because so many are so confused about the reality we live in.. because they have been listening to others instead of minding their own experience.. as long as we continue to listen to others and allow others to frame our experience (this article appears directly to try and frame your experience.. if you live and breathe these words.. and believe them.. you will in fact experience the world as this guy describes.. because what you expect is the reality)

peace, love, joy -> seed happiness .. i have seen it.. you can try it

God is all things, so loving life is loving God

This is the heart of it. We all love to bitch and moan; it's part of who we are. But underneath that - at the deepest level - must come the love of all things. Life includes a lot of pain. Any of us can attest to this. To find a solid foundation, however, is to recognize the beauty of this life as it is, including pain, suffering, and death . This is the route to witnessing the amazing beauty of [God's / our] creation.
