And I agree that I am not talking about a black-and-white situation, but I do think it's BS that human free will gets to plunder, abuse, use, and torture other life-forms, including the planet that makes life possible for them.
Though the Creator blinks neither at the Light or the Dark.
I am not subservient to the Creator either. The Creator may the source, or milieu from which this existence has arisen, but why do I have to agree with it? You can accept something without agreeing with it, and in either case—acceptance or questioning—I do not align with stasis, I prefer open-mindedness. And frankly, I find the idea of "serving the Creator" akin to idolatry, like Christians who blindly follow a system they don't question.
That just about mirrors my own perspective. The creator is not something separate from/outside of myself. If I live from my own heart and stand for my own principles, what other service could there be? All else is serving some authority, or as you said, idol.
