  smiddy3: The OP video is a short excerpt from CBC's The Fifth Estate's "Spiritual Shepherds" that was originally broadcast on January 29, 2003.
  OK that was now 14 years ago and this whistleblower is still hiding his identity ? in the year 2017 ?

  Huh? How do you know that? How do you know he still hides his identity?

  What is it that you expect from this man who has blocked out his identity 14 years ago? Would you be happier if he somehow, magically, made his identity known on a 14 year old video? And how exactly would you propose that would happen? Would he wave a wand and his face would appear on that old video? Or should he keep an eye on online content so that if and when this video pops up somewhere he can show up and say...Hey everyone! That is me! Joe Blow from Cocomo!

  And besides, you (and me, and everyone else) know nothing about this man's personal life. Nothing. Nobody is in the position to judge why this man has chosen (14 years ago) to keep his identity protected.

  And as far as respect and being believable goes, that is what comes from appearing on a television production such as the Fifth Estate. The tv show is respectable. The broadcaster is respectable. That is what makes this story believable.

  Attacking the whistleblower for keeping his identity private is akin to shooting the messenger.

  The CBC's Fifth Estate is a very respectable and credible television production.

  The elder/lawyer would have been checked out for validity before being included in the broadcast. As far as his anonymity goes, isn't that to be expected and isn't it also to be respected rather than rejected? Not everyone is in a position that allows them the privilege of having an identity.

  Protecting the identity of whistle blowers is a fairly standard practice. And more common than not when a television expose is done on sensitive material concerning a large corporation and/or religion.

  waton: OC, it is time for you to go to bed, in your time zone, and hoprfully, that is not going to add to the overpopulation problem of the planet.

  In my time zone, it is time to wake up.

  I must not have learned enough from "the rich people" because I have given birth to two children. There were times that it was difficult to feed them - I was the one that went hungry so maybe that was my lesson from the "rich people"

  Does God like rich people better?

  venus: An African poor child does not reveal anything about God; but it does reveal the thoughtless behavior of the parents who bring them into birth when they themselves do not have anything even to eat. It only reveals that they have not learned from some of the rich people...

  I have tried to come up with something in reply, but I am afraid that I typed and deleted several comments before I decided that none of them were adequate.

  Your thoughtlessness has rendered me speechless

  Everything considered, blood is the easy choice for a doctor, no-blood management is harder and more work. Doctors also look at what is more profitable.

  Everything considered, blood is the most effective and best choice for a doctor (and for the patient). No blood management is less effective and does not work as fast or as well as blood does.

  venus: The fact that God is not doing anything to remove suffering is not a problem for me to disbelieve in Him because we all know humans are capable of removing suffering, but they are not inclined to do (they are even inclined to increase the suffering)

  You can't have it both ways, venus. You had made this statement:

  Similarly, God has put in an invisible mechanism whereby every one receives what he deserves or takes birth where he deserves to be in

  which claims that every one deserves their place of birth yet then you try to shift the blame of suffering that arises from that place of birth onto the shoulders of other human beings, not God.

  Which is it?

  God's "invisible mechanism" that knows who is deserving or not in order to place their birth in a position of privilege or a position of starvation? Or is it a way to test us lowly undeserving/deserving humans? Are the poor ones put on earth as a test for the rich ones? Are they God's measuring stick? Is that their function?

  venus: Cofty,
  You have no enthusiasm because of your atheistic disposition which is understandable.

  Condescending

  venus: I have no problem in believing in a God who is responsible for the fine-tuning of earth so that various forms of life can enjoy their lives here.

  Self-elevating and pompous

  venus: In effect, you are asking "is law of cause and consequence working according to conditional love or unconditional love?

  Don't be obtuse. And don't misdirect.

  You know exactly what I am asking and my question is far simpler than that.

  You are/were speaking about "God" and using your experience of parenthood as an analogy to understand your concept of what/who "god" is. And now you have changed up your language and pulled the discussion into the "law of cause and consequence".

  Stay on track. Keep it simple. Don't be obtuse and misdirect.

  So. No. In effect, I am not asking you that. I am asking you exactly what I had said - within your concept of love (not law of consequences...blah, blah, blah....), does it include a concept of unconditional love?

  It is a simple yes or no answer.

  Experience shows it's just blind--you can bring it to your benefit if you want or to your harm if you want--it is you who decide it.

  Bullshit.

  See above photo of child

  That is what you say is "god's invisible mechanism" doled out according to who "deserves" it

  venus: As a parent when you make sure your children get inheritance according to each one deserves, there is a communication in that act. Similarly, God has put in an invisible mechanism whereby every one receives what he deserves or takes birth where he deserves to be in. It takes more than ordinary seeing to see this.

  Venus, is your view of "love" one of conditions?

  Are you aware that there are parents in this world who do NOT give inheritance according to "what they deserve" because the parents simply see ALL their children as deserving of loving kindness?

  Do you have a concept of unconditional love?

  Similarly, God has put in an invisible mechanism whereby every one receives what he deserves or takes birth where he deserves to be in.

  Oh. So, is it God's "invisible mechanism" that has determined that each and every human being on this planet is "getting what they deserve"? Is it God's Invisible mechanism that is responsible for this?
