    §outh§tar,

    Give him a chance to his idea of independance...
    Why would God want us to be independant on Him forever? Doesn't He love us like a father love his children? Why not being independent?

    Then again, if you consider God as being life (i.e. life as an spiritual energy), then your claim of dependance is valid,considering eternal life....

    there is no such thing as super dosage for every one, for instance, man vs woman, a super way for man may not be good for woman.

    Ok.

    Rom 7:15
    I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

    Here's some other things that I found interesting:

    Rom 8:

    5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; 7 the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. 8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.


    Jumping a bit (still Rom 8 though):

    18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
    22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
    26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.

    I don't think humans will find a "super way" even if it exists. But we should strive for equal rights amongst humans. In our limited understanding we think that there cannot exist a "super way". I also have a limited understanding but I think that there can exist a "super way", I just don't understand it.

    people are different,so they should live differently as long as no harm is done to others.

    True, but I still think that there are a way that is common to all. Society is trying to build such a way, but I don't think it will work. You can't base human understanding on "when he does that then you have to do that", humans are very contradicting since most haven't found their way yet. To go from there and try to build a super-way for all is impossible for us and would only make us more lost than we are.

    It may happen that they find some super-way that they think would work though. But if they do, then at least I would be very, very careful.

    In a way, such a way allready exist, in the form of laws, morals and principles which every human has to follow (or there will be consequences).

    Some parts of the way is natural (like empathy, love, conscience etc.).
