Who is God?

[OneFootInTheGrave]

(*feeling in the Christmas mood for existential questions* )

To the point:

The question "does God exist" is fundamentally wrong question to ask, when there is no universal "agreement" on who or what is God?

What are the properties of God?

Like what are your expectations from an entity that would be described in the words.

To phrase it better: Who is God that you either believe in, or think "that's meant to be God, but he does not exist" is, and can you describe at least 5 of his major properties. (or your expectations of the properties).

The sound of a female orgasm.

Although it could be the kettle signaling tea is nearly ready. I always get those two mixed up.

[Pekka]

God is the sound of a woman cramping up? Yeah Winston, see you in Hell buddy!

And if some sound is devine, it is the one where your team scores in the last second, winning the championship and you here that siren going on and lights going on and everyone screaming and cheering and someone accidentally grabbing your balls, and that minute lasts the whole night, when you get drunk and high, and bash few bars and break something or burn something up.

[Winston]

It's not the divinity of it, Super Goof. Read it a couple more times.

Anyway.

Bash, break, burn and balls. Now there's four words that should never be in the same sentence.

[Pekka]

Yeah I'm the b-man. B as in Brave, Best.. and definitely not the b1tch. And I like big butts. B-man.

Then what are you talking about women screaming?

[Kuciwalker]

Has the "I am" joke been done yet?

to try and get back on track.

Let's try to apply this to the analogy of the human and the ant.

Simply put ant could be classified a lower level life form, while we are higher up the scales.

For the ant a human could satisfy the categories:

1. All powerful - surely, all kind of ways to demonstrate the power

2. All seeing - seeing much further than any ant could ever hope to see

3. All knowing - likewise

4. Ever present - well ants could easly have such a myth going aroun as they do not have ability to comprehend what human is.

5. Holy - well if ants have a sense of moral, they could easily attribute such an adjective to a human.

Besides most ants have never seen a human and many of them surely have got crumbles of bread or sugar from their human passers by. Moreover there are certainly scientists that study ant behaviour and they may make them do what they want so you could even stipulate that humans managed to communicate with the ants, who knows what does this look like from "ant perspective".

Anyhow, for the sake of this comparison.

Universe = the Earth
Milky Way = the Forest
Earth = Anthill

Could God be like that?

God is a vengeful old bastard in a collection of silly Jewish myths.

[Dis]

I actually consider myself god... of myself.

That sounds kind of weird, I know. I try to remind myself I'm in control of my destiny- though it doesn't seem to work very much.
