Just so no one gets confused: i.e. the god of reality, not of dogmatic religion, i.e. no stated traits or qualities are known about what is called god except that which is derived from reality.
I was thinking about this today, technically we are all derived from things that pre-existed us, i.e. we are merely reshaped matter and energy, or simply reshaped pre-existing stuff. Even when we ‘die’ the stuff we are made of just goes back to existence, in the ultimate sense, it’s not really destroyed in the ultimate sense. If it was reformed into a new life-form, its quite possible consciousness can and will reform again and again at some later date in some other form (eventually). It seems to me that the stuff that pre-existed us must possess consciousness as an inherent property in diluted form and is merely condensed in life-forms into higher orders of complexity and higher consciousness (i.e. ability to resolve reality clearer and clearer).
Key concept here, is that we inherit the properties of the stuff itself when we are reshaped from the stuff strewn around the earth. i.e. no break in properties or causality, to deny it leads to contradiction. You can’t get consciousness from stuff that does not have the consciousness potential/partial consciousness.
The argument would boil down to : God is everything that is real, everything is merely a piece of god. i.e. the sun, the earth, the energy, etc.
I’ve always wondered at the source of religion, and I think it has to do with consciousness, I think the fact that we are self-conscious confused our ancestors and they went and invented gods based on the idea that consciousness exists everywhere in the universe, this would explain why some religions contain some profound statements while mixed in with a mishmash of outright error and contradiction.
