                     %GOD'S NON-REJECTIVE PRACTICES 860426

     God  does not kick creatures that fail to conform out
of Her universe.  She does not use rejection or any threat
of rejection as  a  technique for getting Her creatures to
conform to some standard form of behavior.  Rather She has
permitted Her creatures to conform to some  standard  form
of behavior.  She has permitted Her creatures to engage in
all kinds of  mutant/deviant behavior within Her universe,
and  some  of  them  have  survived  very  well;   leading
eventually  to homo sapiens as the most dominant  form  of
life  in  terms  of the nature  of  behavior.     All  the
different  creatures  have   been permitted  to  do  their
different things within  the universe within the framework
of non-rejective laws of cause and effect.

     God's laws  are  not grounds  for  Her  rejection  of
nonconformity  as  a  personal affront to Her  desires and
wishes.    According  to  God's  laws  there  are  natural
consequences  which  follow  from specific  actions.   The
challenge is for creatures to choose actions which lead to
desired natural consequences within the universe. Failures
are  not  kicked  out  of  the  universe,   nor  are  they
personally  rejected  as a threat to God.   She is not  so
insecure as to need to reject failures.

     God's judgment does not require the isolation of  the
negatively  judged  from others,  through excommunication.
Judgment comes through  constant interaction with  others,
and   through   repeated   failures  to  be  in   creative
interdependence with others.
