Quote by: Flip Jackson He seems to be on vacation, at least as far as most people tell me. I get the impression from many religions that God made the earth, made people, led them with prophets and what-not, sent Christ, and directed the formation of the Bible. Then He became oddly silent....No more prophets, no more revelations, no more scripture, no more guidance. Why not? This seems like a new kind of Deist religion. God guided the world for the first few thousand years, then decided to sit back and watch as we wallow in confusion. Surely we need direction in this era, perhaps more so than in times before. Does God expect us to know everything we should do based on a rather outdated book? I bet Noah is glad he had direct communication and wasn't relying solely on stories about Adam and Eve. Here's my question. Why isn't He still directing a church like he used to? Why would He expect us to rely on such an old sourch of knowledge?

Please go through my post #78 on the thread "Why do you need to believe in something? which might tell you "Where did god go??"

For your ready reference the same is reproduced as follows:

Quote by: Kuldeep Comarison between YOU & GOD!!!!!!!! Quote by: another day What is the difference between your manifestation of all the properties of the universe as god.. and no god at all? There seems to a big difference between what you understood and my view. I never mean "manifestation of all the properties of the universe is a god." Rather, I mean SOMETHING (unknown and beyond conception) has whole universe as one of the properties. The other properties of SOMETHING are unknown and beyond conception with our gifted senses. I shall try to explain with an example, YOU!! You are represented by a particular shape, size and colour of body skin. Then you have outer body parts again having one specfic size and shape of say eyes, ears, hair, arms,legs and like. Coming to inner organs, you are not outwardly represented by those, but are all essential for your existence and survival, e.g. your heart, brain, lungs, kidney, stomach and intestines and the like. Science has then also specified you by specific group of genes, DNA, RNA. So to say you are represented by all your different materials and parts formed out of those. After your death all your material and body parts would remain here only. People like your relatives etc would introduce at that time your unknown property SOUL and pray; May your soul rest in peace!!! All that what I talked about you, including unknown soul, are your properties only. It is rational to tell that YOU are different than any of talked nomenclature. Exactly in the same manner, my hypothetical SOMETHING has this universe as one of its known property. The other unknown property could be CONSCIOUNESS, like you have SOUL as an unknown property. Finally, the way people know you as "another day", my SOMETHING is known as God!!!! Now coming to "No God at all"!!! I tell to all atheists to change their long long held view that GOD does not exist!!!!! It is because: THE WAY YOU EXIST BECAUSE OF OR, WITH THE HELP OF YOUR ABOVE DESCRIBED PROPERTIES, EXACTLY THE SAMEWAY GOD IS EXISTS WITH THE HELP OF HIS JUST ONE KNOWN PROPERTY "THE UNIVERSE"!!!!! Elaboration of the above Capital letters statement is that Your property exist so you exist, sameway universe as god's property exist so God exists. Properties are knowable, while YOU & GOD both not knowable!!!!!!!!!!! Both are just one and the same conscience to be more correct, truthful and rational or what?????? At a certain point it becomes silly to keep clutching to the word god. Obviously there exists something deep at the core of reality that possesses all the qualities of the universe etc. but why is this "god"? When you want your relatives should keep cluching to you as "another day", why you object people keep clutching to the word god??????? You want respect from others so wants my Imaginary God "SOMETHING". You may change his name reversing the alphabits as: GOD-------> DOG!!!!!!!!!!! no problem with my SOMETHING !!!! He won't mind You could also have a different name than "another day", that won't change your properties. God has always meant an actual supreme thinking being. Find a more original word for this spiritual essence or whatever you want to call it. I nominate you to rename "Universal God" or my "SOMETHING" which you think as most original. Yes, God has always meant an actual supreme thinking being, but it the psychlogy of man and not the God!!! Quote: Personally I believe the same thing...there is quite obviously some kind of ultimate core to reality wherein all the magic and mystery of life comes from. Any atheist will believe this. Thanks for your factual view!!! Quote: But to call it god is like calling nature "Mother Nature"...It is merely an unwarranted personification. You are free to put any name as explained above!!! I have put it SOMETHING-----any objection?????? But I guess if it helps you relate to that which is not knowable then it's alright. I agree with you that my SOMETHING is not knowable, but can be known with the help of his known and unknown properties!!!! you might wonder seeing "unknown properties"!!! It has been put there as his other properties which are becoming known by improving our conventional senses, MIND in particular. I can give more detail, but length of post does not permit!!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last edited by Kuldeep : Today at 02:32 pm.
