The most important reason for the socially significant interest in God is that God usually is taken to mean good. Many modern people, i.e. people after the advent of the humanist renaissance( approximately growing from beginnings in from 15th century Europe), and the ensuing scientific enlightenment, often want to decide for themselves whether or not good is possible without the supposed intervention of supernatural good.Harbal wrote:Why can't people believe what they like about God and just leave everyone else to do the same?

Good clear post! In the extensive metaphysical narratives of meaning you usually post, I'm often at a loss as to what you meant.Dontaskme wrote:
We all have a God of our own understanding. And just because one persons definition of God differs to your definition of God does not make that God unworthy of consideration.
Some will deny God, but like I said earlier, to deny God is to deny your Mother. Your Mother may have given you life, but only life can give birth to life. My God is life.
This is Albert Einstein's God. . . “That which is impenetrable to us really exists. Behind the secrets of nature remains something subtle, intangible, and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion.”
...not at all disagreeing with this but I'd go one step back and say that God is more akin to that which creates life being only a manifestation of a far greater power.My God is life.

No, i just didn't see any reasoning to any logic that you might have suggested regarding dispelling God.Dubious wrote:Dubious wrote:No reason to care. God is nothing more than an exercise in logic.

It is absurd to our present conception of reality to believe or even more to know that there is an intelligence that knows everything within our minds, as an example.Dubious wrote:If God can be found encapsulated in an absurdity, I would be tempted to believe as well in spite of knowing these revelations can only elicit more absurdities in its wake.attofishpi wrote:God is more absurd than most could fathom, the depths within which it persists, exists, go far beyond what most people are willing to attempt to comprehend.
I didn't see that, care to reiterate on this particular point?Dubious wrote:It is indeed, that's the reason I often describe it as a "rooted entity" including in the post I made reference to.attofishpi wrote:It is entwined with our very consciousness...
At the most finite level that one can drill down to within the makeup of our universe, there is either an event or there isn't, binary.Dubious wrote:Don't understand the meaning "binary universe" in context.attofishpi wrote:God IS the base from which our binary universe is fed.
Sure, but when you are the one that has experienced the length of time that i have of this 'highest source' you will admit to yourself you are no longer theist.Dubious wrote:Throughout history the acceptance of these intensely mystical experiences as knowledge from the Highest Source has not been uncommon.
