God
Again, feeling talkie and wanting to put down my thoughts on heavy subjects to work through them for myself.
I don't believe in God, because everything I've ever heard about God, as a seperate being, is absurd.
God is everything. God is good.
See those two things our mutually exclusive from a human standpoint, because while all of creation may be perfect (and honestly it doesn't seem to be) not everything is good:
-Poop on a wall - never a good thing.
-house being smashed - it' be a stretch to find some good there.
-mosquito bites - 'nuff said.
So if god is everything, then clearly god is not all good. Plus if god is everything, and satan exists, then god is also satan.
THen there's the idea that there is only one true god and he is jealous. What a load of shit. if there's only one god then he's got nothing to be jealous about because anytime anyone prayed to any god they'd be praying to him. so either there are more gods or... some guy made it up.
anything all-powerful and all-knowing is stupid. if there is such a senitent being out there, IT would be completely inscrutable to people. It would never have any motivation to do anything, already knowing the outcome. the only thing it might possibly have the motivaiton to do would be to destroy itself, because knowing all the possibilities for existence, why would it value existence over non-existence? and even if it did, wouldn't it eventually get bored of existing? and what would happen after it's destruction? could it know that? or would that possibly be the only thing in all the universe that is unpredictable?
However, it is possible, in my mind, that there is some sort of universal consciousness - that everything in existence is somehow self-aware, but in that case then god and the universe are not seperate entities and so there is no god, there is only the universe. And that would make sense to me because the universe is everything and affects everything. I suppose if I had to produce any evidence that the universe is self-aware and self-governing, my only reply would be probability. You see, probablility is a force for both chaos and order. Unlikely things happen, but only a certain percent of the time. But then, in an inifinite universe, it is possible for anything to happen, however unlikely it may be. probability causes things to move towards a more chaotic state (entropy) but probability itself is usually very clear and can be precisely measured in certain circumstances. but, in our universe, probability produced life (although we don't know how probable life is), and life is a force against entropy - causing the universe to become more orderly.
anyway, I'm exhausted.
