Do gods wonder where they come from?

[DC]

If a troll is looking for intelligent discussion then I am guilty. It is unimportant what I am to propose my views in Anerica, or at least it use to be.

now you first talk about some alknowing god and then you feel thinking that you might be a monotheist is namecalling? that isn't the best way to start a intelligent debate.

But I do find the eternal questions facinate me, and I like that about myself. However on this subject it is usually easier to define what infinite being should be as a starting point for reasonable discussion.

 

[dylan2001]

Why do equate all these things. You should learn to think outside the box.

do you have a god in mind we could debate?

 

[dylan2001]

One thing that infinite need not be is monotheism.

why?

 

[dylan2001]

Well for starters monotheism means the one. The one is a limited form and can never be used to describe infinite Being.

Why don't you just describe what you think in one post instead of dropping bits and pieces here and there?

Monotheism are religions with only one god. and says nothing else about that god. only that there is only one in that religion.

Well I am glad you have free speach also but I hear nothing to disprove my views from you.

I would like to hear your views not just tell you mine.

It is you that must provide evidence for your claims. It is not up to others to disprove them.

my view is, gods dont think as i have not seen any evidence for their existence.

 

[dylan2001]

I have made no claims other than to show the limited one is not appropriate to describe the infinite.

You have an infinitely tall cup. Is this not one cup?

 

[devnull]

You do understand the difference between god as a noun and God as a proper noun though, right?

"That God sure is a swell god.... but Thor is not a good god"

Just because monotheists co-opted the noun as a name for Yahweh doesnt mean you get to be all pissy when people use "god" correctly.

Sheeesh.

ps. I realise dylan is a troll (especially how he tactlessly got all defensive and then accused everyone else accused everyone else of being defensive) but its a point worth making anyway.

As to the OT: Do you think gods wonder where their creators came from?

 

[dylan2001]

Trying to clarify the meaning of god has been my goal from the beginning

 

[dylan2001]

An infinitely tall cup is existing is infinite in only one dimensional plane, that is not infinite at all.
