Do you believe God has a plan for each of us apart from us learning to love one another?

I believe we are here to learn and grow into responsible human beings, full of compassion, and good will toward one another. The main commandment that Jesus left was to

#1, Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.
#2. Love your neighbor as yourself.

Can you just stop and think for a minute what kind of world this would be if we would just apply those teachings to our daily lives.

There is an interesting discussion here: some believe that God has a plan for us, and others believe that we determine our own destinies. There have been valiant defenders of both positions for several centuries now, but no decisive demonstration has been offered. I'm getting tired of waiting for a clear demonstration, so I follow my own internal signals. These favor peaceful solutions, and so I generally suggest and follow paths towards a clear peace and mutual understanding, rather than towards dispute, misunderstanding, deceit and war -- whenever that is possible. That solves by far most problems for me.

@cool2030 Hi. I just want to say that it sounds like you do believe in God, right? If you do, then wouldn’t it be reasonable to say that God didn’t leave heaven, just to come for a visit? That He had a purpose and a plan?
