God may respect my POV. Or maybe He couldn't care less about it. Hard to tell the difference, though.
Brilliant! Why not do both, like you do with your toddler?
Except respect connotes the possibility of not respect,
so I think recognize the sacredness of might work better?
So, this is taking the place of "Truth Obscured"? Not sure I see much of a connection. And I'm still wondering what Bt has to do with anything.
Ah, well. The problem with "truth obscured" is that
it is hidden in plain sight, and that we often adopt a pov
based on an opinion (when no pov was necessary),
and then of course feel the need to defend that pov;
we "become identified" with our pov, essentially
closing us off to any further illumination or expansion there.
Like Einstein did to himself, at Bt, 80 years ago.
Plus, be honest, you had no idea that you could
affect the "spin" of a distant electron instantaneously
a week ago, did you? (electrons don't technically spin, btw)
And ya, they're still wondering, too;
but having vigorously rejected the lexicon
of a believer, a physicist is now almost at
an impasse with Bt, wherein a believer is not-
-it simply becomes the physical mechanism of your faith,
as strange as that might sound at first read.
Or how about letting others have their pov and just accept it as that. It is not necessary for other's pov to mirror our own in order for them or us to be lovable or valuable.
Does not God understand our pov and if it is not what He wants our pov to be, He will seek to change it in His time. It is likely we won't even know when that happened. It is in a human's nature to change their pov all the time.

A problem with this, as you just pointed out,
Is that we tend to form opinions based on
Physical, rather than spiritual, info,
Or, we tend to translate spiritual
From the physical, which, after all,
Describes our pov; but this is our bane.
As you describe, this concentrated=brainwashed,
And Bt shows that we are all brainwashed
In a very fundamental way.
God does not care about our point of view. His is the only one that matters, and until mine is aligned with His, then all is out of focus and incorrect.

To be more correct, God understands our POV and makes allowances for it, but our POV is not a replacement for absolute truth.
