Simple straight forward question. Would a loving supreme being desire that you worship and pray to him/her?

Ok, this goes into another area, but I will try to answer your post. We are only here in this physical reality to learn. We learn equally well from the good and evil experiences. The good experiences tell us that we are on the right path and the bad ones hopefully turn us back to the true path.

I hope that made sense.

What then? You can choose whatever you wish to create based on this information.

Man's freedom seems most often to be used to be so deliberately stupid.

Why don't I what?

Doubly so, when it relegates all responsibility outside of itself, in my opinion.

That is so vapid. That means anything and that means nothing.

If that's what does it for you...

This is a true statement. It isn't any clearer than this.

Actually, I think authority would have been a better choice of words in my above statement.

Just out of curiosity. Do you believe that God is infinite or finite?

Does that mean, TO YOU, that Jesus Christ is TRUE or FALSE?

Also, do you need someone else or Someone else, to tell you what is "right" and "wrong." These things almost seem like no-brainers.

Hitchens would often say that the idea of compulsory love is a little sketchy, and I tend to agree.

I think you're building an interesting case that the God we read about in the bible seems to think and act much more like an advanced version of us than a qualitatively different "supreme" being who is beyond having an ego, for example.

God gets butthurt and takes it out on those he claims to love at many points through the Old Testament. This is very familiar behavior for a human being.

Jesus as put forth in the stories sounds like a great guy. He seemed to be saying, and I'm paraphrasing, "all this that I do, you can do this and more."

Are you kidding me? What do you think?

Do you think that I think the Almighty Creator of the Universe is limited?

Does The Almighty fit in some man's little finite box?

Is Jesus Christ God Incarnate or not?

You got it!

Bingo.

I don't know. That's why I asked.

Infinity means = EVERYTHING

nothing can lie outside of infinity. If there is anything outside something which is infinite, then it's not infinite. It's finite

Therefore, we are also part of it.

Yes, since infinite must include everything.

Yes, since infinite must include everything.


As are we all...

If God is infinite, then,

I would have to liken the issue of worship to be the same as:

you asking the cells within your body to worship you

thereby denying those same cells the ability of realizing that there is something higher, which includes both of you, that is infinite

which is what the god of major religions may serve a function of doing, in our world. the limited very human concept, which denies the knowing of an infinite God, which by very definition includes ALL REALITY

Madness.

That you are among the created of creation does not mean that you are The Creator.

You are most certainly not God.

As are we all...


What is my name almighty god 1123581321?

that may not be the best analogy, but generally you can get the concept perhaps

(my analogy fails in that I wouldn't posit that I am inside of the little god of the bible and major religions)

What is my name almighty god 1123581321?

then God is not infinite?

explain how there can be something outside of infinity

You are antichrist.

nope

What is sin, you gods?
