What if God..

Lemme repeat what I said on chat:

God is neither a male or female. The limited capabilities of human minds are the ones responsible for imagining him as one of us. Though Christian sources refer to God as "he", it doesn't mean he is a male. This can be traced back to earlier times when women weren't equal to males and males were thought to be superious, blah blah.

Darkmaster, I don't really understand why you dislike the idea of god so much, it comes off really negative man. The people that "usually" follow godly standards are usually that type of people, eg: they like to help people out, volunteer, give money to charity.


And you agreed that everyone has a right to believe in what he or she wants, and until someone "PROVES" how we all got here then I'm gonna continue pick out people that think they got the answers.

Thanks for taking the fun out of my post a few pages back, jerk.

However, he did make man in his own image, and made woman from the rib of the man. So you could argue that he's more male than female, but it would be a pointless argument.

Obviously, I don't have better things to do than to look for posts to steal. I think most religious people share my (or your) view concerning this issue, imagining God as a being similar to humans is an atheist way of thinking.

The Bible is full of metaphors.
 
God is a masculine figure, he portrays himself as such: (that doesn't mean he has a dangle)

Christ is a manifestation of God as the son, Christ is a man. So...either way...

Mankind is made in his image, God is a spirit, mankind made man in his image, with a spirit after his own being. We are like God, in that we have free will, and understanding, and the ability to be godlike (not in terms of power, but in terms of compassion, and etc).

"God breathed the soul into man, we are the breathe of God."

The bible is like toilet paper, just with senseless text written all over it.

Atleast we who have the Bible, will not be stuck in a stinky bathroom with a dirty bottom.

You're mixing up the matriarchic civilisations with the religions. Polytheism was common before Judaism kicked in. While they were worshipping rocks and trees, women were leading the tribes.

I believe Christ came in a human form because it was easier to process for the people. That doesn't mean God is a male.

Where? The only times god has been portrayed is by humans.

He was probably first depicted as male because males were thought of as "dominant", which is what they wanted their god to be. A dominant figure.
 
which means now god should be portrayed as an evil corporation corrupting our politicians to create a One World Government watching our every move? just being a bit unserious, sorry :P

anyhow

1. I guess he would be a computer nerd, considering he coded a bug-free world :D

2. I guess she would be a computer nerd, considering she coded a bug-free world :D

3. I guess it would be a computer nerd, considering it coded a bug-free world :D(yeah, i know, its not funny anymore :D, but still :D, yeah, i know :S, :D)

God is obviously a woman, because the average man would definitely fill the world with things as creepy as anglerfish.

1. And old beared man, duh.

2. God is a male. How else could he rape Maria, and Jesus said that his 'father' was God.

3. He doesn't, and due to that the world will screak in terror when i rule it.

/me starts the countdown to doomsday.

Edit: And if God. (Bwaha) Really did exist, tell me why the fuck i don't belive it. And how come he let me live that way without smiting me or my heir.

Might be old, but it's still fit for this conversation.

As what kind of guy? Also, Jesus definitely existed, the issue is whether or not he performed miracles.

Jesus Christ, didn't I just get -rep over this, in this exact fucking thread, two pages back? Keep pushing it fuckface, I'm plenty venomous for a whole herd overbearing little shits that thinks they can tell me how to think.
 
Jesus did not definitely exist (historical evidence suggesting he did tends to be derived from the bible, from what I've seen), but there is no reason to believe he didn't.

Also, I see nothing wrong with the people who say that god definitely doesn't exist. Sure, I don't agree with their approach to the issue, but that doesn't mean they should be censored.
 
I've had it to here and fucking back with this argument. Elenai was there. I myself do not believe in the Christian God, but I sure as hell don't push that on anyone, and I sure as hell will push back if someone pushes me. The base premise of the thread is that the Judeo-Christian God exists. It's both rude and idiotic to join it and make statements to the contrary, especially when they are opinions and not facts.
 
So if he's allowed to be bull-headed and inflammatory, I'm allowed to be bull-headed and inflammatory back.

Also, it's not conductive or polite in the slightest to join a conversation that has been going for some time, and subsequently challenge the premise upon which the conversation was based. If you and someone else are having a discussion about cake recipes, does it do anyone any good for me to come in and say "the cake is a lie, you should eat pies instead"?
 
Well, there is also Josephus' records that state he existed, and a few other bits of evidence. He existed, but like Teh_Ephy stated, it is his status as a divine being/prophet/etc that is in argument amongst the faiths, and the faithless.

___

As for the future people who want to post blatant "God doesn't exist" posts...

Teh_Ephy and I do not like such posts. For one, they are distasteful, to my faith, and to Teh_Ephy's intellectual background.

Stop pushing him...Quite frankly I'm tired of seeing him get punished for the crap that posters of such blatantly stupid comments shove on him.

If I see another post of its kind...I will start giving out infractions for trolling. It will not happen on my watch.

I am Elenai, and I have spoken.

You may continue with your discussion now.
 
Ephy, fair point, I guess I'm just a little tired of seeing people accept people who say "there definitely is a god" and yet say people who say "there definitely isn't a god" are discriminating by religion or whatever.

El, the "insulting to my faith" argument is bullshit. You could just say they are being an idiot, which would be a fair point.

very funny Elenai....

But what created God? Everything must come from something... that is my logic :hohum:
Click to expand...

And it's pretty bad logic. Not necessarily everything has to come from something. Only things with a beginning comes from something else. However, God is eternal. You could say God is above time... He created it in the first place, after all.

1) Everything that has a beginning is created.
2) God does not have a beginning.
3) Therefore, God is uncreated.

The universe, however, is known to be finite.
 
Either way...if the universe is infinite...God sure as heck can be xD

Likewise, matter too need not be 'created', since matter seems to have been 'there' for ever.

If universe/matter is infinite = God can be too

If universe/matter is finite...it had to come from somewhere.

But everything is created by the matter, and so God is.

Matter does not create anything, it composes stuff, and there is far more that is not composed of matter.
Dark Master said:
But who created God?
Click to expand...
If there were an answer to that question, then the "God" you are asking about is not God, but the one who created the "God" you are asking about, is God.

The question is: What, if anything, created God?
