You often hear the religious talk about God's Plan but that we simple mortals can't know what it is. Do they ever try to take a stab at it though? Are there any good theologians that have attempted a guess at what (the Judeo-Christian) God's plan is? That is something I would love to read.

The ones that have tend to turn into terrible people. Like noted child molester Finis Dake, after he spent an exhaustive amount of time putting together a reference bible that outlines just how big a dick God is if you take the scriptures at face value.

If you don't care about that, you can get some interesting stuff out of this at any rate: http://www.amazon.com/Gods-Plan-Man...an+for+man+dake

Thanks for that quick reply. I'm not sure I want to give money to a noted child molester though. Would you be willing to paraphrase the book into "This guy thinks God's plan is ---"?

God's Plan is "gently caress you, I do what I want and if you don't love me and worship everything I do unconditionally and mean it you'll burn for eternity in a burning lake of fire with maggots continuously eating your flesh, yet not consuming you."

Is that an accurate paraphrasing of what the book says? That God's plan is just to do whatever he wants with no real end game besides having a bunch of useless slaves? Would a Christian read it that way?

This seems more like it's trying to answer "What does God want us to do?" rather than "What is God doing?"
