RE: "Nice Guy" Jesus: Is the Love of the Biblical God Really Unconditional?
I think of religious worship towards God as in a trap of the churches. The worship of God should not be blind or full of chants but should be totally silent. Silent is a sacred but also aristocratic characteristic. For something God does not speak. And if he did, it was through his supposed son, Jesus.
Dr. Manhattan is a puppet of his indifference, the result of his intelligence. A God who does not intervene or does not intervene, does a lot.
One that has the power to dismantle all the weapons of the world to avoid wars, or simply not to do so by understanding human nature.
Dr. Manhattan represents the missing link between God and man. We can not understand God in its full dimension, but we can understand a little to that blue human who looks like him. Then we understand that the extrapolation of indifference is simply being.
From there, to pantheism there are few steps. Moreover, the silence and distance of God is understood, as if even God were the existence itself and nothing else.
It can be freedom, or it can be slavery.
"You can fight a lot with God if you do it with a pure spirit of seeking the truth (...). Whoever looks away from Him to go in the direction of truth, will not go far before He falls into His arms. "
