Is God Imaginary? by suwailad(f): 6:05am On Jul 18, 2012 |
The only thing we know about God is what we think, can we then say he is imaginary at best explanation? |

WHEN YOU SEE ME YOU SEE THE IMAGE OF GOD . seriously though when you look at anyone including yourself in the mirror you see the image of God because we are all made in his image. as such he is not imaginary. 2 Likes |

Same argument can be made for anything. You see me? You see a image of a reincarnated monkey. very foolish argument |

Yes, God is imaginary. He doesn't exist outside the minds of those who believe in him. There is no objective way of demonstrating his existence. Neither is there any way to demonstrating his effects on the world around us. We are now able to detect subatomic particles and measure the temperature, mass and composition of stars millions of lightyears away. Yet, no nobody can figure out a way to detect a god who is supposedly all around us and doing things everyday? Practically all the things previously attributed to God have now been shown to have other causes. We have simple, and elegant explanations for how complex life develops from simpler forms, where earthquakes and lightning come from, and why the sun rises and sets. We also have a working (though still incomplete) theory for the origin of the universe. The bible and the koran are full of stories of magical things God and his followers did yet all these miracles seem to have conveniently disappeared just as we gained the ability to verify them. The only miracles we see these days are performed by fraudulent TV pastors and YouTube fraudsters. And the (developed) world now operates under the assuption that there is no god. It's only in bush places like Nigeria that people promote prayer as a means to fight terrorism, corruption or to solve economic problems. You don't see europeans praying against road accidents or the chinese praying for electricity. They install street lights, enforce seatbelt use, speed limits and ensure roadworthiness of all vehicles. They build more powerplants. Of course, many of these people may say that they belive in God, but most of them don't act like it. And that is why their problems get solved while ours fester and stagnate. 3 Likes |

Every other thing is illusory, but God is the only reality. |

Abyjah: @Evil Brain. Nicely written, but I must say that you're wrong. Every other thing is illusory, but God is the only reality. Please explain what you mean by that, preferably in simple english. No offence, but it sounds just like the meaningless pseudo-intellectual grammatics that pastors use to turn people's heads. But you and I are intelligent, educated people so we're not going to resort to that cheap tactic just to win an argument are we? |

Evil Brain:I don't have problem with pastors, neither am I one of them. You must have heard it said that, 'one is in God's will', right? What this means is that one is like a picture that God imagined and held in His mind (the same applies to the universe). This picture is then enlivened by God's will power. Hence, everything is an illusion created in God's mind while He is the absolute reality of these things. |

suwailad: The only thing we know about God is what we think, can we then say he is imaginary at best explanation? To begin with, you may need to distinguish between intangible [/i]and [i]imaginary. |
Re: Is God Imaginary? by Abyjah: 5:48pm On Jul 18, 2012 |
buzugee: huh ? i see you been smoking that angel dust huh ? LOLYou can aswell create your own universe with it's sun, planets and what have you. Start by employing the language of the fourth dimension, and you shall speak and it shall come forth. Create everything you want in that your world including the creatures thereof. You can, therefore, kill, destroy, enthrone, etc, any of the creatures or structures in your 'will'. As long as you live, your universe keeps living. More so, in all you've created, you've successfully represented yourself in different forms. Hence, your universe is an illusion and you the reality of it. |
