God is coming, and boy is she pissed

I like the idea of gods representing forces. is a polytheist

I read your little false hopes about what you think ‘god’ is and I will tell you what I think of ‘god’ as. A mass-marketed scam that gets away with almost anything that it wants because if it gets pressure they either wine their way out of things saying its prejustice or they try to cause an uproar. Jumping on this Jesus bandwagon has gotten so easy, it has become door to door and telemarketed. That’s right. God is upstairs doing paperwork, supervising, making sure all the telemarketers are meeting their ‘quotas’. Better not slack off on the job, you will get your lunch break taken away. I don’t buy this bull. Why do churches think they should have everything handed to them, just because they think they have a higher cause?

How can god be either, if god created both sexes, after god existed? So surely god is not even a physical being, becasue god also created physics. So god must have been something else, with no gender.

Heh, I only said “man” because I thought it would have sounded stupid with “human” twice in the same sentence. Too redundant!

I didn’t mean trying to give up on understanding things or determining your own belief system. I meant to give up caring about what other people think. It’s so easy to lose sight of things when you are in debate mode. It doesn’t matter that much what somebody else thinks. He/she will most definitely have a different opinion than you. . .and you will usually be helpless to change that. When I think of “not caring”, I think of being able to “let go” when it comes to frustration and animosity toward others whose opinions “clash” with my own. When I can get to that point where I don’t get caught up in the emotional battle, that will be good. I don’t mean to “die” or lose interest in this area. Mostly stifling of the ego is what I’m talking about. When you can look at others and not judge, but accept differing views, that is “not caring” anymore. It’s letting go.

*All this is my opinion–for anybody who is nitpicky and will say “that’s not necessarily true” or “I don’t believe that.” That’s my disclaimer and I’m sticking with it. :grin:

Thank you. I’m certainly undeserving of that. You can only see far when you’re standing on the shoulders of giants after all. :content:

Also, I don’t believe it would serve a purpose, unless God(s) wanted to have God-lets (or whatever offspring you would call that).

lol, I get it. I do stuff like that too actually. Perhaps we both have a repressed memory of an English teacher traumatizing us. :grin:

Oh, I see! Then I guess I would agree with you. Even though sometimes we all lose our cool (even the people who really would rather not), I truly think it’s important to throw our beliefs out into the open. Sometimes more damage is done than good, but mostly, when two (or more) open-minded people are talking, regardless of how dearly they hold their beliefs, everyone grows in some form or another. Maybe that’s some wishful thinking on my behalf, but I think it’s worth the risks of having your toes stepped on (or stepping on someone else’s!) to possibly have an enlightening experience.

But I certainly agree that ego can, and always will, be an issue. And that everyone should watch their own ego and not worry about the other person’s (though that’s much easier said than done!). :content:

Haha. I wish we lived in a world where it wasn’t even necessary for people to say that. :tongue:

“unless God(s) wanted to have God-lets (or whatever offspring you would call that)”
You forget about the pleasure of sex. But why would a non-physical being need physical pleasure?

Or sex to have ‘physical’ pleasure?

God is not mass marketed as you put it.people are jumping on the band wagon though,but because they are really worried about death and burning in hell.okay the only church that thinks it should have money handed to it is the roman catholic church.if you ever been in a church you dont HAVE to give money :neutral: .also what i meant bwas god doesnt have a sex.he/she other worldly figure made us in an image he wanted us in.a weaker less powerful form so we couldnt over throw n=him or anything like that.also god didnt need sex to make us he just used his abilities to make us from the earth that is why we are tied in with the earth,by chi and i’m done.
