I’m not sure if i’m posting this in the right place but here is my idea of God. God has infinite possibilities including the possibility that God does not exist. Therefore, no one has right to question anybody else’s idea of God. Someone’s idea of God is just as right as the next person’s because both their ideas are including in that realm of infinite possbilities.
My perspective is that God is mother nature and her infinite possibilities. Good and evil are all incuded in the infinity of the universe, so in my view God is nature. God need not be a positive entity, it is neutral, omnipotent, random, infinite and immeasurable. Some religions of the world have similar phylosophies for the omnipotence of God, notably the Hindu and Buddhist phylosophy for God (note it God, not “deity”). I also think that the ancient Greeks and Romans must have had a wider perspective of God unlike the monotheists Christians, Jews and Muslims. But it is a pity why people have forgotten the civilisations and spiritual phylosophies of the Greeks and Romans.

During the later parts of my “fem defence resession” thread in the “Rant House”, I’ve wrote a bit of critic for/of “mother nature” – that I’d like you to read.

I could not agree more if I tried. The religion forum would be a better place but, you might get nibbles here.
What have I ever done to you?
if there is no objective proof for god why do we believe?
did we 1st believe when we were young and impreshionable?
do we find proof every day?
why would 3/4 of the worlds population believe in God(in one form or another) if we have no proof?
is the conception of God just the pinnacle of the humans serach for meaning in life? aka do we need god to give our lives a meaning independent of our own reasons.
Man is only a slave to the uncertainity and randomity present in the universe, any form of life is. God is a picturisation of man’s fears, desires, ideals, emotions. Dont think that the belief of “God” was originated only after man came to the picture. Even animals picturise their imagination of God. The belief of God is a complex yet simple reaction of life forms towards the infinite possibilities of the universe, good and bad.

there is no such thing as good and bad and God between neutral being, there is WILLS of God and all have reasons and means and all His wills come from a very intimate dream that will allow him to give all it demands to make it real
Just like to say, “nice thread title”. It’s a classic for a reason. Got a bit of a start from it, though. For a minute, I thought it was the author. Yikes!
I believe that your question is very philosophical. My view on God is as follows.
God, love, now, and beauty all mean the same thing to me. They are words which spring up thoughts of love and beauty in my mind, but they are only thoughts. If God was a kind of thought, then when one person finds God he would be able to transfer the knowledge, so that other people know God. Jesus, Buddha, and many others tried to transfer this knowledge, but alas, failed since a religion sprung up; religion is thought.
What is it about certain beautiful music that makes it beautiful? What is it about certain landscapes of nature that makes it beautiful? What is it about your love that is beautiful? To me, they are all the same. The beauty in the visual nature is the same as the beauty of your love for someone. It is an image of truth, but not the truth itself.
God will not have its secrets known!

I feel the same way about toast.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that was fucking halarious man!
But not without a point. Hopefully, it will spark a little something.
There are many gods.
If a god is not physical, then there can be no physical proof of him.
I can’t prove light to a shut eye.
What people find – is sometimes hard to express.
Worlds were built for the physical world.
The dialogue in this thread seems to belong to religious discussion, rather than philosophical.
For those that believe that God is connected to infinite possibility, can they expound on this link? I can’t make the connection based on the posts; it seems to be a statement rather than a rational construct.
Why can’t infinite possibility be simply a product of the physical universe, science, rather than connected with an omnipotent deity, or as is it called “God?”
I agree wholeheartedly. Everything in the universe is made from the periodic table of elements, with maybe 50 elements we havn’t discovered. The whole universe, from dog poo to a sunrise, is made up of the same base things. And music is just waves of energy flowing through gas. I could probably keep going on, but you get my point.
Some thing has infinite possibilites, including the possibility this thing is no thing?
Not too sure about your logic there.
At least toast’s followers don’t tell you you’re going to Hell for rejecting toast.
