Quote by: joseph2622  To make sense of the words above to those who still don't understand, it's saying that God is absolutely everything. Not just one being or superpower. It's saying you are a part of everything. The only thing separating you from me is our bodies and our distance. We are all a part of something that can't be explained nor does it want to be. All it cares about is that you understand that you're a part of it and that it's all around you. |
Why would it care about that? Why does it need to be conscious, aware, emotional? Of course I am a part of everything; I am made of matter and energy, as is everything else. The elements that make up my body are the same elements that make up the entire universe. But why assume that the universe has wants and needs? Doesn't the sentence, "We are all a part of something that can't be explained nor does it want to be" make the descriptions of this god/all-thing's desires impossible? If god can't be understood, how can we know what it wants?

Quote by: joseph2622 Everything forgives you and everything loves you. All that should be feared is the energy you sow. |
I find this extraordinarily creepy. I do not want to be forgiven by my slippers, nor loved by my underwear. And again, the idea that god could love as we understand love, could know us and forgive us, would tend to contradict the idea that god can't be understood or explained.
Why should we fear the energy we sow?
