I did not know there was a religion section? | |

| Your case for/against God.
Posted: 7/30/2012 5:22:45 AM | I read the book about “Gaia” from “James Lovelock”, and that alone makes me believe that there is something bigger than us humans at play in our very own backyard; be it mother nature, or a God of sorts, or both really. I read parts of the Bible as well, and found it to be a pretty good book. I found myself only being able to enjoy the Bible by randomly opening to any page, and start reading; so I can’t say that I’ve read it all. I wouldn’t pretend to know which version of the Bible it was either (it was given to me by some group who had free coffee, and a pool table).
- If God is all good, all powerful, and all knowing; that don’t make any sense. Why would he allow so much sufferance: Animals eating each other, disease, war…? Well, I guess he would have to be bound by certain rules; well then he isn’t truly all-powerful. “Where your knowledge ends, his begins.” Sure, but does that make him all knowing? I mean, if he knows all, why did he send Jesus to experience the human condition? If he didn’t know all then, he probably still doesn’t.
- What is definable as God really; is it the creator, is it just some powerful being, is it the connection between all things… Does it even have to think to be God, or can it just be…
To me, it’s like if there is too much order to have come solely from chaos, and then too much chaos to put it all in order. Heck, maybe creating a universe is kind of like writing poetry; you don’t really know where it’s gonna go, and even when finished, a good poem is never understood. | |

Posted: 12/24/2012 10:28:21 AM | Case against the christian god:
"Mommy, why did Baby Jesus let those 20 children get blasted by an assault rifle??"
"Because God needs millions of children in heaven more than their parents need them at home."
Case closed.... | |

Posted: 12/26/2012 11:01:51 PM | god, is not involved right now.
that should be obvious, whether he exists or not.
we are 'doing it without him', whether he exists or not.
that's what we want, right? | |

Posted: 2/24/2013 12:23:34 PM | | There only has to be a case for god, not against. I do not have to prove something is invisible. The default setting is that its not there. Thing about that as you sit in your seemingly empty room full of ninjas. | |

I don't think he meant what I think you think he meant.
@Mark
I take it to mean a triangle's god would have three sides. A pretty succinct way to state the projection of self traits argument. In that particular case a triangle's god wouldn't have to be a triangle, but could very well be a tetrahedron.
The silhouette is triangular, but there are other properties as well. This kind of reminds me of Flatworld. The silhouette may appear to change even if the tetrahedron only rotates. (I had doubts so I double checked. Certain viewing angles for a tetrahedron are 4 sided. What this fact means to someone personally is up to them. They may say god does not change or can't fully reveal himself.)
In a way I find it notable to point it out. Those projections which are triangular hide the 4th vertex within the interior. Such a triangle god would be asking triangles to see what they can't see. | |
