…and so are you.
For the theists-
Are we no less birthed from God as Jesus was? Our souls had to come from something, and that had to be God.
For the non-theists-
Nature allowed us to come about from the universe. We are powerful creatures. Why can’t we be gods?
By default, we become Gods.
Ummm, I prefer Goddess. I agree though, Eventually if we as a species survive, we have a potential that is phenomenal and breathtaking.
If you were given a group of beings, how would you pick out the gods from the not-gods? What criteria must be met for the label “god” to be applied?
Define “god”.
One possibility would be:
God = the most powerful being in existence
I think this successfully answers the question posed by alexmabee.
You only get to say you are God, you can’t say I am God. But that only applies if I really am God. And of course you can’t know I am unless you are.
So God must be all-knowing and omnipotent? Is there a chriteria to meet for being God? Does God also have to have a son named Jesus?
I was just clipping my toenails when I came across this thread; so in honor, I decided to name my toenail “God”.
I’m sure that you could say that my toenail is not God, but why not? I named it God, specifically my big toe, if that makes a difference.
Every single person I have ever talked has a different version of God. God is undefinable, has no boundaries, and hence, could be adapted to anything.
The definition of God is subjective. Nobody really has the exact same idea of God in their minds. Religious people may have close definitions, but still those definitions can’t be identical.
If by god you mean: an immortal eternal mighy super universally connected, unified creative entity, none of these apes count.
If you think of us only as physical creatures.
Physical creatures whom are out of harmony with collective nature, unwise, decadent and generally disconnected from the divine.
I don’t understand the point you are trying to make here.
My point was, don’t think of us as purely physical entities. You seem to still be thinking in the physical sense of ‘us’.
We’re not isolated matter, that’s for sure.
There’s still a direct link between this present time of forms, and the origin of all things existent.
But the passage between that link, the path-way itself, is blocked up in some way, and also let us see what happens if the reciever cannot recieve? It is like a blind man infront of the sun’s light. They all have infinity and what some would call “God”, but they all cannot use it, and they are still temporary, unwise, astranged apes.
Can a blind man without a physical body still be blind?
