Simple; God loves me and provided his own death as a sacrifice to redeem my unforgivable act of sin so that I may be in His presence where unholiness may not exist.

Complicated; God is angry at mankind and the only way to heaven is by living a life that may be qualified as “good enough” to earn my way to paradise through self-redemption.

Simple; As an adopted child of God we are now blood kin and are washed clean by the omnipotent blood of our savior given as a perfect, voluntary offering to more than cover our original, sin offense.

Complicated; My sin leaves no stain or offense upon my life and in fact the more that I practice my sin the greater reward, relief I achieve.  After all since this life is all I have I must maximize its pleasure value by achieving every act of self-actualization I may possibly complete.

Simple; There is a God who clearly built His image into creation so that it is evidenced in reviewing nature, confirmed in prayerful contemplation and reinforced through Living directive in His Holy Word given for our edification.

Complicated; Everything we see, taste, smell, hear, touch and are was brought about by happenstance when a void of nothingness suddenly created all matter and launched itself omni-directionally throughout the universe to inexplicably coagulate in an ordered fashion to form every object, life and molecule with purpose, structure and understanding.

Simple; Prideful servants rebel, forcing holy leaders to pronounce judgment upon them in banishment from the lands’ bounty, the love of comrades and the peace which arrives from being a member of the King’s Family thus removing all promised rights, authorities and inheritance.

Complicated; Unholy, prideful, self-serving characters will arrive at the pinnacle of man’s existence through treachery, debauchery, cleverness and manipulation to be rewarded with everlasting existence and holy bodies for their dedicated self-service in a needy and broken world.

It just isn’t that hard folks.  Constructive blindness, justification and denial must be employed in order to make sense of this calamity.
