JP re:"Well now I don’t think I have ever claimed to have the universe “all figured out.” I claim there is One who in fact has it all figured it out."
First of all, thanks for trying to answer my questions but unfortunately you've raised more than you've answered. You claim there is One god...would this be the same one for Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc? Is there a devil, is Christ a god, are there lesser gods such as angels, archangels. How did you reach the conclusion that there is one god? From you childhood upbringing or did you learn it from personal study from something like the bible
or koran or did you spend a lot of time lying on a beautiful hillside staring out at the universe?
re:"There is not a thing I can do for you, and the famous men and women of history are generally dead. So it is really quite a hopeless matter in both cases. I ain't God."
Many famous men and women who don't believe are still living and though you "ain't God", you seem to know him or her (is there a gender in your mind?) I think you'll agree that virtually all believers refer to god in the masculine sense.
re:" What does God look like? He looks like utter boundlessness, like anything, including nothing. Now that is as clear a description I can give you while I’m trapped within this body and while you are trapped within yours."
OK peace be with you if that is what you have concluded and if that's what gives you solace, but your vision doesn't seem to come from any religious sources I am familiar with (and I am not familiar with many). I also noticed you referred to your utter boundless, like anything, including nothing god as he....
re:"No. I do not think there is an afterlife. But I know there is. Evidence? In a manner of speaking I am staring right at it. Right this minute. And it is reasonable. "
Sorry, but it's this sort of dogmatic speech that sounds so incredulous to me.....and I don't mean to ridicule you, but thank you for trying..... |
