Who or what is god?

I believe god is collective thoughts manifested through energy and virtual reality.
This virtual reality is what we call life, and the afterlife in order to entertain our minds with emotions, and thought that create joy, and stimulation.
I think of god as a big server(metaphore), and our spirits are just a connections to the one being. So in a sense we are all god, and once we attain a certain level of perfection we are given the admin password, therefore are able to be all knowing. I believe that our minds have all the knowledge ever known, and we are simply learning the lessons in our current point of spiritual progression, so that we understand the values that are so important. Intelligence is the ability to obtain knowledge, so when we think of questions in a certain way we are given access to that information, data, or knowledge kind of like a password. It’s the same as anytime you think of something and once you think of it in a certain way the ideas just come to you. Maybe if your intelligent enough to think of it in that way then you are intelligent enough to have the information.

So god is the collection of all beings and thought. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: (whether the beings are tangible or not)

sounds like what id say if i was working in the IT department on shrooms.

Hi Jercs,

Thomas Nagel has written a book called 'What’s it all about?" which I think you would like. :slight_smile:

Nice metaphor with god being like a super server. The real question is - what kind of firewall he got going?

Man, I always hate outing myself as an atheist. It’s dangerous (esp. seeing how this election went) socially, and so many silly atheists who just are rebelling against religion but not God make us look bad.

Anyhow, this is still a great question. I tend to give priority to analysis over ontology, so it’s especially useful.

Oh, and jercs, you may enjoy Berkeley. It’s not exactly what you’re saying, but not far off.

I definte God as “the unmoved mover.” He who Is. The uncaused cause.

Where I cease to believe in him/her/it/they/whatever is that I don’t agree that everything requires causation.

go next door to religion then we can talk

god remains dead.
