Re: God

Explain to me one thing. We are all God give me an example....because in my book theres only one God, the beginning of the earth & he is awesome, so yes having a belief in God & living for him is an awesome & wonderful thing.

Why do you feel the need to believe in God? Are you not enough yourself?

"After Buddha was dead, his shadow was still shown for centuries in a cave -- a tremendous, gruesome shadow. God is dead; but given the ways of men, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown."

"Does not one write books precisely to conceal what one harbors? Indeed, he will doubt ... whether behind every one of his caves there is not, must not be, another deeper cave. ...

Every philosophy also conceals a philosophy; every opinion is also a hideout, every word also a mask."

I feel the need to live for God because he gave his only son to die for us so we can have eternal life. God has shown himself in my life & thats why I choose to live for him. Living for him & believing in him are 2 diffrent things.

Are you not enough yourself?
I am a child ofGod he gave me life & he could end my life.

Hopefully things are clearer Anonymouse.

Re: God

''Identification with your mind creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgments, and definitions that blocks all true relationship. It comes between you and yourself, between you and your fellow man and woman, between you and nature, between you and God. It is this screen of thought that creates the illusion of separateness, the illusion that there is you and a totally separate "other." You then forget the essential fact that, underneath the level of physical appearances and separate forms, you are one with all that is.'' tolle

Re: God

I think he explained his stance well enough. I actually want to read some of authors he mentioned now.

By debating something that, as Mouse pointed out, can neither be proven nor disproven? He believes in matter over mind, where as a true spiratual even religious person believes in mind over matter.

I also am interested in looking at some of the less hysterically anti religious/spiratual writings of "atheists" but in the end they can't disprove the existence of God.

Re: God

Science deals with the natural world and is limited to the present, temporal, physical world. You cannot use a standard that is used for the physical world that revolves around our senses to prove or disprove something that is beyond it.

I am not arguing for God. I am arguing at the illogical approach you are taking, which is more about ideology than any philosophical consistency or fallacy-free reasoning.

It remains what you and the God crowd have are still beliefs. You can sit here and shout and demean and try to present your "infallible" logic, but all you have is still an opinion. You don't have to like it, but that is the way it goes.

I don't see how this is a reply to the post you quoted.

I disagree strongly. But I think why I disagree has already been covered in my posts so I will not repeat.

Nobody sets out to disprove gods. I've already mentioned this. Illustrating that it is illogical to believe in a god is not disproving it. Why is this so difficult to grasp?

That's unfortunate. I'm sorry. Are you taking any medication for that?
