In the begging was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Gay, like you.

We cannot prove nor disprove the existence of a non-physical deity (though I find it more reasonable for there to be more than one metaphysical deity).

One can argue that each individual is him or herself god, because you are you alone are able to access the deepest parts of your mind that allow you to gain insights that apply to yourself.

>>19229402
All that is.

"What about this thing?"

Yes, this too.

"But that thing contradicts this thing."

Yes, that too.

>>19229402

A man-made fabrication based off of faulty logic designed to explain shit we didn't understand.

Men saw themselves, and every other animal, being created by a father / mother combo, so they reasoned that everything else must have been created by a kind of "father / mother" combo as well, but since they had obvious creative powers that differed from men, they had to be more powerful than men, hence "gods". From there it's just a slow addition of how many "gods" actually exists, what type of "god" they are, where they exist, and what they do.

It's all fabrication based on ignorance, and this ignorance will plague us forever.

You can't be more than all there is, because that must therefore be, and therefore be included in "all there is."

"The Universe" refers to all of existence. If you go beyond what exists, then you merely extend the limits of existence.

>>19229483
>You can't be more than all there is
YOU can't. God is.
You are limited. God is unlimited.

Yahweh. God of the Talmud, the Quran, probably... and the Bible. The 3 main most popular and controversial religions of the entire planet earth judging by science statistics faith and the fact that i am enlightened etc. i also have an opinion. i also have talked to god directly. It is Yahweh.

If God is everything, then God has no purpose.

The creator, who's both an asshole and a cool guy for creating us and the universe

>>19229511
Of course God has no purpose. Purpose implies something or someone else's use. Any god with a purpose is no God at all. You have a purpose. A butter-passing machine has a purpose. God has no purpose.

Is good morality "moral" because the Gods deem it as such, or do the Gods deem it as such because it is good?

Beyond all that is, is all that isn't. A set of existence which is defined by its limitation of the otherwise infinite existence. Thus what is beyond God is finite existence, which in that state of being conceives of its starting place (God) as an ultimate, unlimited existence once again.

>>19229614
>Thus what is beyond God is finite existence

There is no beyond God. God is unlimited. Finite existence is within God, as is infinite existence, and non-existence.

>>19229402
It is the least human thing possible. An entity projected forth by every human to ever live, and yet exceeding that boundary. To be clearer, It is like the sum of all human will, but also something outside of that. And that's what makes it scary. God is "like" the soul (if such a thing really exists) where the mankind is like the body. The soul is something alien to the body and the individual. You cannot feel your soul, and yet it moves you. It's the same with God. The christian's say it loves them, but that is only true as much as it is true that you or me love an individual hair on our skin. At one time, it may seem so, but in the next, that hair might be mercilessly torn out at our whim.

Good. God is good.

>>19229483
Nah. God is not bound by anything.

>>19229402
I believe that god is the infinite and the void. The infinite being all there is, and the void being chaos/darkness/other things common to god origin stories.

I believe other gods exist, but these are more the tiny fractions we can comprehend of god as opposed to deities in their own right. The god above all that I focus on is more of a force of nature and not exactly conscious in the same way we are.

YahWeh is an angelic being

I can't prove it, and my idea of him changes every day almost

I thought he was a Djinn, but Im being proved wrong about that .

what you would do if you had the power of a genii to do whatever you want?

take over the world and form it to your liking obviously.

whatever this unknowable shape or form is, I worship it and pray to it because it has given me things I never could have achieved on my own

sorry about the direct plagiarism

Friedrich Delitzsch brought into notice three tablets, of the age of the first dynasty of Babylon, in which he read the names of Ya- a'-ve-ilu, Ya-ve-ilu, and Ya-u-um-ilu ("Yahweh is God"), and which he regarded as conclusive proof that Yahweh was known in Babylonia before 2000 B.C.; he was a god of the Semitic invaders in the second wave of migration, who were, according to Winckler and Delitzsch, of North Semitic stock (Canaanites, in the linguistic sense).

We should thus have in the tablets evidence of the worship of Yahweh among the Western Semites at a time long before the rise of Israel. The reading of the names is, however, extremely uncertain, not to say improbable, and the far-reaching inferences drawn from them carry no conviction.

In a tablet attributed to the 14th century B.C. which Sellin found in the course of his excavations at Tell Ta'annuk (the city Taanach of the O.T.) a name occurs which may be read Ahi-Yawi (equivalent to Hebrew Ahijah);[58] if the reading be correct, this would show that Yahweh was worshipped in Central Palestine before the Israelite conquest. Genesis 14:17 describes a meeting between Melchizedek the king/priest of Salem and Abaraham. Both these pre-conquest figures are described as worshipping the same Most High God later identified as Yahweh.

We are all part of god, because god seperated himself into us. God is simply all. All is god. When jesus said "I am the son of god" He meant that in the beginning we all are one with god, and as we die, we are one with god again.

A collective of personified ideals who is everpresent and has varying purposes upon that which it faces.
To me, it serves as a reminder to prevent humans from destroying themselves or those around them whenever they play God.

We need comfort more than we need explanations.

Who cares how everything works in the background, as long as it feels good. As long as it stops the fear.
