Re: Different stages in atheism and theism

Wouldn't it make more sense for you to focus on environments where the people might actually believe you -- or are you having trouble finding such people? What are you accomplishing on this forum... beyond, of course, dancing around on a stage like the rest of us? Apparently, doing that is not bene...

Re: Different stages in atheism and theism

St Paul, Muhammad and many mystics, godmen of India displayed many symptoms of Temporal Epilepsy. Many godmen in India display symptoms of schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. Datta is called as Unmatta Datta, which means that Datta is mad. The reason for this is that He gives the absolute div...

Re: What are the merits Universal religion established by You?

Shri Hrushikesh asked: What are the merits Universal religion established by You?

Bible says that Jesus is the God in flesh, but Gita says for a Hindu, That Kri...

Unreal Thought for God; Material Reality for Man

IMPOSSIBILITY OF A HUMAN FINDING THE UNIVERSE AS UNREAL Unreal Thought for God; Material Reality for Man: The Veda says ‘God alone could not enjoy. Hence, He thought of the second item, which is the creation. He created this entire universe. After creation, He entered this universe. After entering ...

Re: What does Parabrahman mean?

The only impossible point in the spiritual knowledge is to see or even to imagine the unimaginable God directly. As pointed out it has really only been you claiming to know things about and imagine the unimaginable God. So it is not we, here, who need to be told this, but rather you who need to lis...

Re: An Argument for God

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxAV_Re4OWA Space, time and spacetime are relatively real but in the ultimate sense they are an illusion. You read up and do more research on this. An "unimaginable God" is like a square-circle which is impossible to exist as real. P1. God [is real], must e...

Re: Omniscience and omnibenevolence

. God is only omnipotent. Individuals only have partial freedom like they cannot control damage of some of their internal organs like kidney etc. God can come simultaneously also in different human forms at the same time. Rama and Parashurama were human incarnations of the same God existed at the s...

Re: Omniscience and omnibenevolence

It is logically impossible for God to have created people with omnipotence because there can only be one omnipotent being (lest you run into the immovable object/irresistible force paradox). However, there isn’t anything illogical about making other omnibenevolent or omniscient beings. Why did God ...

Re: An Argument for God

P1. God [is real], must exists imperatively as absolutely perfect P2. Absolute perfection is an impossibility to be real C. Therefore it is impossible for God to exists as real. Science discussed a lot about the boundary of space and beyond it. This boundary is unreachable for any human being and h...

Re: An Argument for God

1. There are events. 2. Every event has a cause. 3. There are two types of causes; external causes (mechanistic causation), and self-caused causes (free will). 4. Every event can not be externally-caused. 5. Therefore, there must have been a self-caused event. 6. If all chains of events end in a se...

https://youtu.be/YzNyRzHFAR0 God is Beautiful Only God is beautiful and anything related to God is beautiful. Thus among the human beings, the most beautiful is His devotee. Devotion is the beauty since it is related to God. Valmiki said that Hanuman is most beautiful. He named the part of Ramayana ...

Re: What does Parabrahman mean?

And they don't sit around thinking 'if only I could see the face of the unimaginable God' then things would be good .' And they don't come beating on the doors of your ashram with this need either. When God comes here in human form, He will never say that He is that God in human form and one shall ...
