In some things I would say it is a good thing to be fired up in the face of injustice and cruelty, where such motivation comes from love and compassion though I when you do remember to see the persons in the other side, it is injustice your fight against not the person, them you wish to save, it is an easy slip to fall into. And the same I would say in relation to some of the views that include ECT or forms of Calvanism that to my my mind insult God horribly and say He requires sin to be completely God and is lacking without it His attributes not all expressed, and love is not His essential nature and the self-giving and self-emptying nature of the relationship and delight between the Persons of the Trinity, that is blasphemous to me and makes death and a particular 16th century idea of sovereignty and glory (the Renaissance Prince ideal) really god in this system (since in their system God requires, needs and must obey both). So I don’t think it is wrong to find such claims offensive and horrific, they are, and they make God out to be worse than the most evil person you could imagine (or than the Accuser), but masks it in sophistry and statements the attacking anyone questioning this and objecting with statements of ‘who are you to question God’ ripping a verse of Paul out of context, so so shutting down any questioning of the system as blasphemy and heresy, locking any challenge down. When truly followed (which thankfully most Reformed don’t have this as their true belief, in their lives they defy and deny their intellectual assertions) it is truly destructive. So it is not wrong when confronted with something so wrong to feel outraged at it, and speak out against this, but again remember the people involved and that many within are trying to follow God faithfully and so love should be central to our interaction and response.
As to seeing God as just a being alongside others, something that is just in addition to others such as pagan gods is a common mistake in practice among many Christians (and almost all non-Christians when they think or talk it) is some ‘Sky-Father’ (so the common attack by secularist apologists that as Christians have reduced many gods to one they have just disbelieved in the last and show a complete lack of understanding of the what is meant by God over a god, a completely different category of meaning altogether) rather than God, but some demiurge (which is also the problem with intelligent design and creation arguments or with arguments relating to God’s foreknowing being related to the nature of time, as if God were a just one being in time like we are and bound by rather Creator constantly and always, including time, and no more bound in it than anything else, it’s existence is found in, depends on and is contingent in Him).
Both this and to instinct to see God as impersonal such as love or the universe come from the same error, as it both denies God is Being and is lacking and less than us in some ways and is just a thing alongside other things rather than the Reality Himself, the source and very possibility of anything existing at all, totally transcendent of all created things yet by that nature utterly imminent to all things, not separated from them at all, actualizing their own existence and actions and being, the only reason they exist at all. But all of us struggle in relating to God with these images, and He us and does use them to communicate to us, and supremely does so in the self -emptying love of the Incarnation of Christ and by the Spirit through the Church in action. Recognizing the issues are good as that way you won’t be drawn by the errors of those paths to much but otherwise I would be untroubled by it to much and leave your mind be and at peace and focus on relating to the Lord in act, worship, in love to others and those in need, through sacramental interaction and action and love of Christ in others, of relating as a person to the Other. We understand and grow far more by relation and action than trying to pin all matters down in our mind, but rather prayerful interaction and reflection and meditation and love.
I don’t get upset or angry either, Sherman, but other people don’t feel that way at all. Some of them find it highly offensive that I believe the way I do and they somehow can’t make me see reason. But then YOU have experienced that to a much greater degree than I have, so who am I talking to?
