All of humanity wants an answer to the who is God question, the who am I question, and how do I make sense of the world question. It is, of course, up to each individual to answer these questions. One way to find the answer to the God question is to choose what others have said, and accept their views, or to accept the views of God found in popular culture, or maybe, just ask God to reveal himself to you. Then you will know how to ask the God question.
bull horns do not work, true dialogue where both parties are at least willing to accept that they may be wrong and that a change of mind is possible can be fruitful. contrary to what was said above, the evidence is overwhelming that God does exist. darkness is defined as the absence of light and we all know that if it dark enough one candle is bright enough.
"Anonymous said... Yes Carson, Spinoza's answer is a very good explaination, but how do you answer the God question? Who, or what is God to you?"
I would pretty much aswer in keeping with Spinoza, updating things to include the notion that existence is a quantum computer. So, God is the self-caused, self-determining quantum computer system that is existence, which I take part in as one of the many God-caused yet self-determining pieces.
It is not how you ask it that matters it is how you answer it that matters.

ReplyDeletewhile one cannot prove that something does not exist, given the evidence thus far, the likelihood of existence is slim to none.
ReplyDeleteWho was, "In the Beginning"?
ReplyDeleteYou don't.
ReplyDeleteWhy ask the question to which you don't want to know the answer?
ReplyDeleteI don't. I wait for someone else to ask it.
ReplyDeleteI don't,I just believe and I have my own reasons for that.
ReplyDeleteI can't see why I should
ReplyDeleteWell... Apparently by putting it on your studio window.

ReplyDeleteI like to be subtle with it until someone catches on and engages me in a discussion about it.
ReplyDeleteWith a heart full of gratitude and repentance...

I don't ask it unless it comes up in coveration.
