It seems to me, if a "god" exists, it's not a human figure (people depict gods in their own image- if dogs believe in god (do they?) they would imagine their god as a dog) or anything with a tangible or imaginable shape, but rather, just a force in the universe that determines one's fate. Now it seems to me that I have absolute free will, and ( Read more... )

I'm very mixed on the beleif of "god" as a man. Even for "god" itself. Whatever it is.
However, I have a theory that god is the spirit of all the things around us, the trees, the sky, the human existence.
And essentially, "god" as being time.
But that's just my opinion.

shit, belief*

i agree with you, god has to (in my mind) be all encompassing. it has to be everywhere, and time kind fits that

Why do you believe, or does it seem, that you have actual free will? how could you prove that? can you honestly conceive of an event or action in your life that was caused without influence by only immediate psychological states in the agent (you, in this case)? it seems unlikley that events are uncaused or free to me.

i realize i'm probably going to get killed in this arguement, but as far as i understand, you're saying that all my actions are caused or derived from my psychological state. I would agree with that, but I think that since the psychological states are my own, caused by my brain, that i have control over my actions.

I don't think it's really an argument, if you believe yourself to be free, then you either in some way are or may as well be. I just think that it's odd, the way we see our actions as Caused by our brains, caused by chemical reactions in our bodies, overall influenced heavily by instinct and condtioning, and still vehemently think we're free. it may very well be that we are, but I just have a hard time believing it myself.

To me "god" is just something people go back too. A skapegoat if you will. It makes people comfertable to know that something good is always there, something they can go back and look too if something is wrong. In my mind there is no "god". People derived from organizims because of a chemical reaction that took place when the planet that earth was once a part of had a metior [sp] smashed into it. Personaly to me there is no 'higher being' or whatever. And I'm not bashing other people's belifes here, don't get me wrong. This is just what I think. Everyone else is free to think what they want.

neon poison person basically summed up what i had to say, in a nutshell.

i_felt_my_size November 3 2006, 06:05:37 UTC

Although I agree with your point, I think it's irrelevant here. The idea of a comfort god applies more to the idea that god has some control over your actions (in this case, that he will take care of you, that he won't let you die or do something terrible), but what I'm saying is that I don't think of God in that way- I believe in the opposite, in fact.
