Definition of "god"?

(That's an idea for the humor section. We could have fantasy woo matches)

Of course, they would have to be rated correctly.
Wooness ranking, pseudoscience distortion mark, incoherence grade, ridiculousness levels, delusion class, psychosis score, etc would all have to be factored in.

Because I can't follow it. I don't know what you're talking about.

You appear to post a record of the ideas your mind touches on as you think about a topic.

I can't see anything expressive or coherent enough to reply to.
 
We've just come back from a 21st and my wife sounds more coherent than that.
 
God is a young woman with dancer's legs naked in your bed. If you don't worship that... oh, man... what is there to worship?
 
So-called god:

  • Used to explain the things you don’t know and/or to lazy to learn about when there is information on those things.
  • Used to put fear in people to control them when you are not around too.
  • Used to put you in power because you say you understand the big picture of this so-called god.
  • Used to give the king etc the authority to rule and that king etc provides protection and power to those who say he has the right to rule because that so-called god says so.

Is that god or the mis-interpreted message of god by those who preach their blinkered doctrines?

Until recently I was not remotely interested in or did believe in anything religious or godly. After hearing a few words spoken by a Rabbi, something happened to make me curious.What the Rabbi stated was what many others have said before. If God is so benevolent and all powerful, why does he/she allow death, disease etc. The religious will say its all part of gods greater scheme of things. This Rabbi put a different slant on it. He said we put the emphasis on god, when perhaps the real emphasis and influence of god is for us to cure, stamp out etc.


Those few words threw quite a mean curved ball at me. Which got me thinking maybe I got it wrong; basing it on the religious doctrines being force-fed. Than the actual logic behind those godly messages. That it is within us to right the wrongs.

Yeah right, god puts all those wrongs out there for us to put right.

I don't think I'd be wrong to say: "right bastard!"

So, let's just cut so-called god out of the picture, seeing that it will not do anything for us anyway there is no need for us to waste our time on it.

15 years ago when my wife came down with cancer, I wasted no time on a so-called god, I got her the treatment she needed and she is still here today.

I can't argue with that. All I was saying is what the Rabbi said and coming from one that is religious and a believer it was something that made you sit up and take notice of. If he was correct doesn't it make a mockery of religion on whole and how wrong that religion has been?

Well good for you and glad I'm your wife is still around.

I like Dawkins' definition: The most evil fictional character ever created.

And I'm quick to point out, the God of the Bible only just barely misses being the most evil creature possible even in theory, because Yahweh plans on torturing, for ever and ever, merely almost everybody who ever lived, rather than everybody who ever lived. And knowing almost all will end up this way, He allows them to be born, de facto creating them himself for the purpose of torturing them, for ever and ever.

Hallowed be His Kind Name.

Not all if this is my definition.

So-called god:

Supreme Cosmic Spirit or Absolute Reality is said to be eternal, genderless, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and ultimately indescribable in human language. To describe so-called god is to diminish so-called god.

So by definition so-called god is completely useless.

Hehe, "Imagine a thing which cannot be labeled. Call it X." We've heard this philosophically deep argument before. :)

God = physics, then.

Personally, I prefer the young woman with dancers' legs naked in my bed, but that's just me.

Too literal. Is it god putting the obstacles or more likely us?

For example, I didn't put that branch there but I fell over it just the same. It was probably a bit of wood rot and wind and nobody but god could have been responsible for that. In any case, I can't see how I can be blamed.
