How Do You See God?

[Seth MacFarlane]

We each control our own destinies and we each have the power to do great things including changing the world and helping the needy , we don't need God we need ourselves to reach our full potential so we could help ourselves and also hope that our fellow humans also has the ability to do the same . I see a great man when I look in the Mirror I will never call him God but he is better because God does not exist and if he does he lets babies dies and the poor starve

Some kind of drug for weak people

BRB, too busy cumming (busting a load), balls deep, inside a nun to care what a being who is probably non-existant looks like :

That's cool, too. I said somewhere else that my concept of ' God' was more like a quantum energy field, or the sum total of Creation, if you like. I'm reading some Hawking and modifying my opinions about things accordingly. Hey, sex involves procreation ( if you're not careful), so why not? I'm going to recommend Laurence Krauss' " Universe from Nothing" as something worthy of study. The universe expands, more universes are out there, life zones make life on other planets possible, I mean this has been a really great week for education, so far!

Excellent points, all! Do you reckon we all have that spark, that urge to create and improve things, that sense of justice that would refute an anthropomorphic concept of God in favor of a more impersonal one ( does every law need a lawgiver?) that strictly causes planets to form and starts off evolution?

Everything you have now including your clothes , your computer your car etc was man made so we as people are great and we will continue making great things , as for evolution it cannot be explained on what created it and people just can't accept that it was just a natural work of the world and nothing else . Just like how people say babies are a miracle of God but baby making is a natural process explained by science . The universe is the way it is by itself and God has had no effect on it except making people delusional , brainwashed and killing each other over discrimation of opposing religions and homosexuals and etc. Not to mention pastors get paid well from being pastors while all they have to do is read books

Maybe as some concept of primordial energy as i think others mentioned, but in that case everything would be God. That would also chime quite well with concepts of many deities in a way, as both the single and multiple deities are us projecting our own understanding onto this force. Although with something that vague it runs the risk of being too broad, ie then 'God' would be something like 'Luck' that is a simplified human explanation of complex processes that we don't understand, or at least not on a grand enough scale.

I'm not a religious person, but i think if you had to apply spirituality to a modern (basic) understanding of physics you might end up with something like that.

I'd have thought the matter in existence, while not a single 'being', could easily be given a similar status. That way really i think any concept of 'God' must be an all-pervasive energy/force rather than a discrete being or something similar.

There is an inherent contradiction in Christianity that I've noticed and that's regarding the concept of free will. People will say that it's "free will" that caused Adam and Eve to disobey God by eating fruit ( fruit? Really? Is that a billion+ death sentence worthy offense and why do we have to drag animals and plants right along with us?) and that God " allows" evil to get us because of our choices. Then, the Curch turns right around and tells us we can't choose to get out of Hell by applying Christ's sacrifice to ourselves by joining the church and partaking in the sacraments, the Holy Spirit draws us to that. So, we can choose death, but on our own, we can't choose life? Isn't there something a little immoral in saying to people that by the very act of their birth, they must bear the consequences of somebody else's decision to eat a fruit so they can be lifted out of their own ignorance and then not only being sentenced to death by this, but potentially damned to Hell for the crime of being, what.. human?

I share that view. I guess I'm leaning to a more pantheistic understanding.
