No, really, this is a serious thing I thought about walking home from the bus today.

God created a world of angels, yes?

Well, walking along the sidewalk I looked down and some grass was growing throught the sidewalk, and it made me think of a Buddhist verse about the great Buddha avoiding stepping on and harming small plants and animals.

That made me start thinking about the difference between the two. I started thinking about something my old Biology teacher had said about defining a living organism, and some vegan arguments and such.

Then it just hit me, maybe because it had been a factor in a book I'd been reading during Algebra, but Free Will is what just popped into my head, hadn't even thought about the phrase on the page outside it's context, but it just stood out now and I remembered it.

Then I started thinking about creation, and the Angel creation came to me. God populated the world with beings who were alive, and could bask in His glory, but who lacked and kind of Free Will. Then He created creatures that had Free Will, but the Angels remained for their guidance and glory etc., no?

Just an amusing thing that occupied my mind for the few minute walk from the bus this afternoon. Thanks for your time http://www.totse.com/bbs/biggrin.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/biggrin.gif)
