I am still not satisfied with the A.B Singer's short story, The Slaughter, which I have come to consider the most finely composed indictment that must be made against any omniscient God who dares to make claims upon our loyalty. In Singer's analysis the ritual slaughterer must and does drive himself to maddened destruction when he realizes that given the charnel house nature of creation, he is more just than God. Job has behaved far better than God whose vanity can be so easily seduced into performing Auschwitz like experiments on Job and his first family.<br />For my part, I have found a spiritual field of hope based on a single line attributed to the mystic Isaac Lura that, for me, delivered the Sacred from the truncating curse of Omniscience into the lush fields of Physical Life.strnmct Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05444745484802950178noreply@blogger.com
