>All reality has immortality so all reality is God. Mind, soul, and body are realities that cannot be destroyed. <

I see no rational basis for this belief. All reality could have immortality but it could, just as easily, not have immortality. As for mind, soul and body being indestructible- I think in the case of at least the mind, we can have great doubts about its survival after death (soul, imo, is just a subset of mind so I won't even bother to deal with that). I grant you the atoms of the body survive- but I have no idea whether their survival lasts forever- it is possible that everything could be destroyed at some point. I see no reason why everything, could not at some point, become nothing. Just as I see no reason why nothing cannot become something- depending on your definitions of "nothingness" and "existence".

Sam, I passed, lightly, through the thread earlier this day...

This bit of yours has repeated several times since encountering it:

"You cannot define God. God is defined as one having immortality. All reality has immortality so all reality is God."

Repeated, like a belch, or burp, becoming systematic.

Love you, Sam! What a gift you have for laying it out like it is.

Wish you weren't so vitriolic, though. george
