Is There Really A God by aribisala0(m): 6:57am On Aug 08, 2021
I do not know.
I cannot say there is
I cannot say there is not
I just simply DO NOT KNOW

What I know I know .
What I do not know I do not know
Let us approach the issue with that simple and fundamental honesty

There are many "GOD STORIES" from all over the world

What many people believe is simply based on

WHERE THEY WERE BORN AND WHAT THEY WERE TOLD

Inevitably when they meet another person with a different story there is a clash , conflict and killing

Many of these stories seek to establish a FRANCHISE

Like a sole importer or sole distributor and so anyone who threatens their franchise is an enemy and liable to be killed

What is a Franchise

A claim that we are

THE SOLE DISTRIBUTOR OF GOD

and

ANY OTHER DISTRIBUTOR IS NOT NAFDAC APPROVED


We now have new and imported stories from outside Africa that tell us to disregard and delete all our stories from thousands of stories
and to upload foreign stories into our Mind as direct from God

Inevitably the question arises for thinkers. Why do these foreign stories have no provision for black Africans for thousands of years or is there another God for Black Africans?

There are supernatural beings actually. Have power to do and undo but not in the description of religious folks

Black hole, dark energy can also be regarded as God cos the mystery behind them are incomprehensible

Supernatural are forces beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature, which can't really be explained how they come about.

Dark energy is one of the supernatural things .. It is not even visible or be described how it looks like but it's damn real..

Dancing Aurora due to sun's particles interacting with earth gravitational field, that is visible. Dark energy is involved in that

Black hole, the spinning of a black hole could even be faster than the speed of light, place of no return

Btw, is the acclaimed religious people's God also comprehensible? What's the meaning of doing things in a mysterious way( unexplainable)

If I don't know a thing I don't know and admit I don't not not manufacture an explanation.
Re: Is There Really A God by aribisala0(m): 7:32am On Aug 08, 2021
Once you create an explanation
You invest in it and it becomes difficult and even painful to abandon it
Your mind becomes closed
Whereas if you admit you don't know then the possibility of discovery remains

I really think it will be a waste of time though if all you are going to offer is

I do not want this thread to degenerate or digress into arguments about doctrines

I use the word "know" in a very concrete sense
I am not talking about beliefs but knowledge in the way that ALL HUMANS share

There might be something/someone called god up there or even anywhere. There might even be a god that created all the universe.
But if it is the Almighty god as described by the Muslims, christains and jews, as in the one that created the whole universe, Paradise and hellfire, that particular God CANNOT exist. It is just vacuum.

Yeah, we can't rule out the possibility of the existence of a god, and we also don't know its characteristics or whether it created this universe or not.
But definitely a God as described by the Qur'an, gospel and Torah doesn't exist and not only does not exist, it cannot exist
Re: Is There Really A God by aribisala0(m): 7:56am On Aug 08, 2021
Here is the thing
If you decide there is God without knowing then there follows a desire to design the God that you have created

In many place this starts with anthropomorphization

i.e
God becomes HE

God becomes KING
God becomes GOOD

just as if one was designing an Iphone

One starts to attribute all kinds of FEATURES to the God they have designed


but why must God be Good

Why can't God be Bad ?

Why can't God be She

Why can't God be a queen

All of these things are simply unknown

And these questions are
UNCOMFORTABLE

anyone who asks questions like this has to be LABELLED and SILENCED

Well that God has Man and the Earth as its ultimate "creations" and focus.

Why must Jesus or Allah be God.

Why is that all Yoruba gods none is Jesus or Allah.

"Children of Isreal, are children of God" I am a Yoruba does that mean I am not child of god.

According to the bible or quran, if you die without accepting Jesus or Allah you go to hell.

My ancestors before the whites didn't worship Jesus or Allah, that means they are all in hell.

Arabs, and Europeans enslaved Africa for years, where was Jesus or Allah to caution them.

What is the color of Adam and Eve skin the first humans according to Bible or Quran, is it white or black undecided.

Jesus was a white man, no single prophet of Jesus was a black man, blacks were slaves.

Why didn't Jesus end black slavery, since Jesus was a god for both whites and blacks.

You are taking a dead god serious?
A god that couldn't save itself from been slaughtered like a chicken on a cross.

I am interested to know how you came to the "knowledge" that there is no god

Asserting that there is no God is perhaps the flip side of asserting there is one

Hmmmm! So many people think as you think for thousands of years they have been asking about the existence of God,some even go out of space to find God but they couldn't see Him,in the sun,in the moon,in the star,in the other planet,under water and so on.

Now let me tell you what a White man told his son when the son ask him similar question to yours.
The old man said 'son if they said there is God let us keep worshiping Him and do the good thing they ask us to,so that when we die,we will be save.
But if we die and there is no God,son,we have nothing to loose because the people we left behind on earth will be remembering us about our good deeds'

Nice story for children but we are not children
What is a good deed?
Also different people/doctrines tell you to do different things which no one can possibly do(everything) because they are contradictory
some even ask you to kill those who disagree with you
I do not think that is useful advice.

Also you are making a fundamental assumption that
If there is God its discovery has something to do with "when we die"
I do not get what dying has to do with the existence of God

Why not approach it another way why not say if there is or is not a God we can discover before we die BY OURSELVES without doing what another person says. What if you die and discover there is a God that wants you to do Bad deeds and not good deeds

That people have asked questions for thousand of years does not mean there are no answers
In the last two hundred years we have discovered the motor car, aeroplanes, electricity, Televisionphones , internet and so on. Things we did not know for thousands of years we are discovering in decades We have eliminated many diseases etc
so we just might be getting closer to an answer
