Join us as we take you through our experience with the External Objects pilot. With this new feature, you'll be able to read information from outside the organization, a Google sheet, for instance, and use it in your daily job within Salesforce. And, this information will not be stored in your organization. You can use it like any other custom object (almost) without having to worry about the data storage limit or syncing data. Come see some use cases, learn how to create a link via a Heroku process or even using Salesforce directly, and how to integrate these objects and their data with your product.

Bart Ehrman and the Problem of God Allowing So Much Suffering

In Bart Ehrman’s book, God’s Problem, he tells us that his upbringing led him to believe that God is “out there” — and He could influence our day-to-day world, just as he did throughout biblical history. But of course, as Ehrman concludes, if God is “our there”, is full of love, and has the power to do anything he wishes, then something is terribly wrong! In one way or another, earthly suffering is God’s responsibility, and after much serious consideration Ehrman no longer finds it feasible or moral to believe in such a callous God.

But is God “out there”?

Perhaps the most famous of all of Christ’s quotations, as well as one of the most disregarded, is found in Luke:

Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, and he answered, ‘The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed; nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ For, in fact, the kingdom of God is within you. (Luke.17.20-21)

Moses taught the same thing earlier when he said:

Surely, this instruction which I enjoin upon you this day is not too baffling for you, nor is it beyond reach. It is not in the heavens, that you should say, `Who among us can go up to the heavens and get it for us and impart it to us, that we may observe it?’ Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, `Who among us can cross to the other side of the sea and get it for us and impart it to us, that we may observe it?’ No, the thing is very close to you, in your mouth and in your heart, to observe it. (Deut.30.11-14).

But we are held in thrall by the things of this world, our attention dispersed into the world around us, and we look for heaven and God precisely where Moses and Christ told us not to look, turning spirituality into the superficial and formalistic worship of external objects and historical events. As a result, God can only contact us from outside (‘Show us proof!’), never from inside.

As our focus becomes more and more external, the lower rational mind gains strength and becomes more and more affronted by the literal irrationality of spiritual and religious claims. This is when the champions of atheism become increasingly vocal and adamant – not without cause!

- Γενικά λέγοντας κατευθυντικότητα εννοούμε την σχέση που δημιουργείται ανάμεσα στο νοητικό και τον κόσμο, και εκφράζεται μέσα από νοητικές καταστάσεις με ένα ορισμένο περιεχόμενο και ένα ορισμένο αντικείμενο αναφοράς.

Όταν για παράδειγμα «θέλω», θέλω κάτι, όταν έχω μια «πεποίθηση», έχω μια πεποίθηση για κάτι, όταν «εστιάζω την προσοχή μου», την εστιάζω σε κάτι κλπ.

Το πρόβλημα της κατευθυντικότητας μπορεί με δυο λόγια να συνοψιστεί στο ερώτημα: «Πώς γίνεται μια βιολογική υλική κατάσταση που βρίσκεται μέσα στο κεφάλι μου, ο εγκέφαλος, οι νευρώνες, τα κύτταρα και οι συνάψεις τους, τα σωματίδια της ύλης στη δράση των οποίων οφείλεται η σκέψη μου να συλλαμβάνουν αντικείμενα ή γεγονότα που βρίσκονται έξω από το κεφάλι μου, στον κόσμο, και μάλιστα κατά την διαδικασία αυτή να συγκροτείται ένα ορισμένο νοητικό περιεχόμενο, ένα κάποιο νόημα;»

- «πώς από μια σειρά φυσικών γεγονότων, που προκαλούν ένα «χωρίς νόημα» αισθητηριακό ερέθισμα, προκύπτει κάτι το οποίο βιώνουμε ως γεγονός συγκεκριμένου νοήματος;»
