I need no position of authority to reason with other members of my own species. Neither do you. We would need to know each other's life in a lot more ...

Myth and sorcery are fiction. Robots and latex are products of science. A story which is not about real events and has such ingredients can be termed ...

I don't know, I will attempt to communicate with 'the force' and find out if you work for the dark side. There must be a branch of the fastest growing...

I am attracted to anything with the label sci-fi on it. I wonder what the homeless figures are in Africa, India, Yemen, the Ukraine? We humans still h...

I think you really meant the more bemused ........ 00000000kaaaaaaaaaayyyy! But you are perhaps, just too nice a person to express it Tom, so I expres...

I dont know, therin lies the rub and adds to the why god is non-existent. If I am an omnigod, then I know all such answers. You are suggesting god sti...

Don't forget, hope as essential as it is, can be conflicting. Many a farmer may conflict with the hope mentioned above. I personally love to walk in t...

No, it's the same thought experiment, I am just pushing it on to the point where human intellect and scrutiny of the 'words of gods' presented to us b...

SOOOOOOOO nice to read someone in the beginnings of their 30's quoting Tony Benn. One of the best most honest politicians there has ever been imo. Alt...
December 02, 2022 at 16:04
So perhaps it's time to tell them why you had a need to create them. Then they will know better. A god cannot be inaccurate! I am beginning to lose fa...

Your point then is merely about the definition of 'a closed system.' From Wiki: A closed system is a natural physical system that does not allow trans...
December 02, 2022 at 13:03
Yes, that was the basis of the original god stories. As you know, there were pantheons of gods before the mono one became 'preferred.' All those early...
December 02, 2022 at 11:56
I think you quantify and qualify the god situation quite well here. God and Shlemgippie seem identical to me ........ meaningless ...... nothing ........
December 02, 2022 at 11:41
As a sentient conscious mind with intent. If god existed, we should be able to identify irrefutable intent in the early universe. A simple example mig...

I just realised you are role playing god and I should have read the above as the word of god Vera. Sorry god Vera, that answers my question to you abo...

Who are 'they?' Exclusively your ancestors? Who will do the bleach washing or the ignoring or the judging? God the criminal? I like your confused leni...

True, comparing Donald Trump to a pig is an insult to all pigs.

Donald Trump?

You are an emerging panpsychist imo.

To its creation and from it's creation or else it's creation has no value to its creator and this would make the creator an idiot under any human rati...

This is your god posit Ben, you are the dictator of what IT IS. Does the god you posit have a body and a mind and other component parts or is it a con...
December 01, 2022 at 21:10
Ok Mr Smith, I believe ya! I know you like the cryptic path
December 01, 2022 at 21:04
Yep, you got it! That's why a god would not create us because it would be an admission of its own narcissism.
December 01, 2022 at 21:01
Good, I prefer god posited as a concentration of fundamentals, it gets us a step closer to the concept of a singularity or perhaps even a mindless spa...
December 01, 2022 at 21:00
That sound logical to me! Why would you have a need to, unless you suffer from some human style need to be worshipped. A narcissistic god seems so rid...
December 01, 2022 at 20:52
God doesn't exist.
December 01, 2022 at 20:50
It's probably just my inability to understand what you mean, rather than your inability to explain what you mean. No worries Jack!
December 01, 2022 at 20:42
Did you not suggest earlier that these options (death or non-existence) were not available to the god described in your OP. I don't see where antinata...
December 01, 2022 at 20:40
So, you are now going for a god 'in our image' that has distinguishable parts? An anthropomorphised god, not a nebulous god entity? Why are humans so ...
December 01, 2022 at 20:35
Then IT has the burden to prove IT IS or else that which IT created is quite justified in refusing to accept IT IS.
December 01, 2022 at 20:32
Sorry Jack, I don't follow your meaning. 'I'm alright Jack' refers to not caring about the situation of others. All that matters to such a person is t...
December 01, 2022 at 20:28
Which is?
December 01, 2022 at 20:22
That's not my issue. My issue is how this god perceives the reason for its own existence and why it would choose to create that which is and always wi...
December 01, 2022 at 20:21
I was going with: in the OP. You are not an emergent god in the OP, you are the god that some humans choose to have faith in, to imo, try to, sate the...
December 01, 2022 at 20:18
Well, at least I prefer your inference that we create god, it cannot create us or itself.
December 01, 2022 at 20:10
So not an eternal god then, an emergent god that knew less than it did before it became god. What label do you want to assign to this emerging god. I ...
December 01, 2022 at 20:05
:rofl: Good paradox. A god that creates before it is created! I assume god becomes god as soon as it becomes.
December 01, 2022 at 20:00
But your god would surely fail at what I am convinced (with my fallible human brain) would be its first thought. Why am I?

If a man lives in a shack in some hillbilly territory in the USA. Are they officially housed? Homeless should include those who live in slums or rente...
December 01, 2022 at 19:46
Why would you do any of that? For your own entertainment? My problem with the OP is that I can perceive of no purpose for an existent omni god.
