I can laugh that off



Who asked you?



lol.

I don die with laugh.

What has this got to do with the OP?

Ogbeni you have derailed enough. I am now cool with the comic relief. Can you now leave pls?

Sun been god has nothing to do with impersonal god.

Zeus is not impersonal god.

The OP is not begging you to belief but asking for reasons. Since no atheist can provide this answer (how can you when you dont even know), can you pls leave just like others who run along with their tails?

While you leave, reach out to keenn to educate you what impersonal god is. Then you can come back when you know.

So now it is either I ignore you or you come forward to discuss impersonal god.

Cheers
Why don't you educate us?

You kept using the word OP,are you not the OP. Is that a new slang you learned recently sir?

What should I educate you on? Impersonal God? Meet keenn

Kindly enlighten us on what a personal god is? If that is not too much to ask

Maybe you mean the OP is beyond atheists in nairaland.

No single attempted to address the OP but only drive away from the discussion into fallacy.

1. Dalaman who openly declared god as non existent turn around to ask what god is.

This is like declaring water is not on mars. And later you turnaround to ask what water is. Why are you saying it is absent when you dont even know what it is?

What makes me wonder is how other atheists fall into this red herring.

2. Gayjesus had said in his thread that god is not existing. He came around to ask what god is all over again. I thought he knew what god is before he said on his thread the it does not exist. His attempt diverting the OP into what god is fails.

3. Plaetton reel out his red herring in an attamept to divert the discussion. He came around asking if god is a title or idea. I hope he knows this before asking me again. All along, the thread is about impersonal god and not definning god. This equals failure.

4. You ran in ignorantly taking sun been called god as impersonal god. What has sun been called god have to do with impersonal god? It is clear as the daylight that you dont know what impersonal god is. Dalaman also came in calling moon god. What has sun and moon got to do the OP?

5. Johnydon22 disclosed he doesnt know what impersonal god is. He was feed but came on remarking something he knows very little about. What has infinite consciousness got to do with Brahman? Even with his little attempt at the topic, he ran away.

6. keenn is the only person that knows what impersonal god is. He defined it in a simple term and only person that address the OP. I do not have anything against his submission which is the reason why I didnt drag him along. And I am not too sure he is an atheist.

How come keenn was the only one that address the OP by defining impersonal god. He didnt open ground for debate with his submission. But he is the only intelligent individual who see sense in the OP. The remaining atheists do not know what impersonal god is and could only rant around what god is which have nothing to do with impersonal god.

So bro, impersonal god is beyond atheists. You dont know it so ran away from it.
Your threads are usually idiotic.
I seldom participate.

Your threads are rarely about mature input and discusions of facts and opinions, but are usually about childish pontifications , where you sit majestically to award pass or fail marks to contributors.

Asking whether atheists believe in personal gods is silly enough, .. Pontificating about , and casting insults about who got it right or wrong portrays even a deeper silliness and immaturity.

However, I will pardon your impetuosity of youth.

The OP question is "do atheists disbelieve in impersonal god?".

And you are here asking me to educate you on "personal god".

I assume you dont know they aint different entities.

On the sub, keenn will help

keenn:
The concept of God has being 'personal' connote a force that is self conscious and can influence Activities according to his/her/it/their will.

This definition will bring about the need to appease/pray/worship/adore/glorify this/these god(s)

The reverse is the case for impersonal god.

Do atheists disbelieve in impersonal god?

Last time I checked, you didnt address the question than rant about if god is idea or title.

What has that got to do with the OP?

If I had read this post, I wouldn't have bothered to post mine.

This is another fallacy.

I did not insult anyone in this thread. I carefully return insults but I try not to make things personal. Show me plaetton where I insulted you or other atheists.

Secondly, the thread is not asking question about atheism and personal god. I am asking you about impersonal god and your stance on it. This you have failed to address only to ask incoherent questions. What has god been idea or title got to do with the thread? I believe I didnt give you means to divert the thread makes you run away.

You should say do Atheist "KNOW" there isn't a personal god. "Believe" is similar to faith,which we cannot prove. I do not believe in personal or impersonal god. That's me personally. Knowledge is key for me,I don't do long distance relationship.

Cool.

Do you read the OP or only read the topic and started asking me to define god in your intial post?

Iatheism is disbelieve in the existence of god. I know this and stated it clearly in the OP.

But the problem I have with the definition starts with god. As in what is the meaning of this god? Is atheism resisted to monotheism, or extend to pantheism and other ism? Is atheism extend to all concepts of god?

Johnydon22 then defined the god in that context as "personal god". I could not engage him further which prompted me to ask if he and other atheists disbelieve in impersonal god. Can you pls tell me this question is not right?

Platteon, dalaman and frank317 do not know what impersonal god is but in that attempt to derail the thread turnaround to ask me to define god. Where will I start from?

This same question have been treated on yahoo answer. And it was treated fairly. No one ask anybody to define god. Even I got to learn different terms and concepts.

Atheists might know impersonal god. I have nothing to achieve asking if they know. I asked if they disbelief and reasons for their position.

Personally for me I think only stupid people(forgive my language) use the word "god". Be it an energy or whatever,it is useless to humans.

Some people have status they bow to but they run to the doctor when they fall sick. What is the use of an impersonal god when it cannot help us in any shape or form.

If someone eventually proves a personal god exists,the next question will be how it works,how did it get his powers.I will like to know and get the power for myself,not worship or have a gay relationship with it.

Well you have a point. You make it clear that you just hate the word 'god'.
Re: Do Atheists Disbelieve In Impersonal God? by malvisguy212: 1:45pm On Nov 23, 2015
I don't believe God is impersonal. The secret attraction of this presumption is that it is easier to ignore a force than a God who thinks and feels and judges. If we can feel and love, our Maker can do all that and more. If God seems impersonal,it suggests not the shallowness of God's nature, but the
shallowness of our relationship with him. God is warm. His standards are granite. His heart is soft.

Christian theologian have argued that Jehovah is not a personal being.

Well impersonal god has nothing to do with Jehovah. Brahman is a good example of impersonal god. Whole jehovah is personal (though some theologian negates this)

Sorry dude, I comprehend the term atheism.

Maybe if you read the OP gently and comprehensively, you will see the angle I am driving at.

Atheism is disbelieve in God. This is all athesm is about.

The question now is what is God?

how can you tell me there is no water in mars when you dont know what water is?

How can you tell me a soup is salty when you didnt taste from it?

How can someone that claim there is no god turn around to ask me what is god again?

This rhetoric questions from dalaman, gayjesus and frank317 who only want to save face because they obviously dont know what they are saying.

You cant tell us something dont exist when you dont even know what that something is.

Just like atheism, I expect much explanation on what you guys mean by God. I know God mean lot of things to different religion. I think I have engaged you on that when you were confusing theism with monotheism. You made the mistake of defining the God in atheism as supreme monotheistic God.

This thread is opened because another atheist define God in the context of atheism as personal God. If we should agree with him, what happen to non-personal or impersonal God?

Does that mean definition of atheism is disbelieve in personal God? What happens to impersonal God? Do you believe or disbelieve it too? Reasons.

This is a very simple question. You guys can share likes and throw insults but pls answer the simple question begging for simple answer.

Johnydon22 defined the God in atheism context as personal God. What then is his stand and other atheists on impersonal God?
"Do you believe pigs can fly?"

"No"

"Do you believe piglets fly?"

Youve been told repeatedly, time and again, on this thread as well, what god is by at least tens of atheists over a few years now, yet you still insist we have not been clear. That is rude, brah, so no indignation please

Your obtuseness is also why I won't expatiate on the example I give above. Even if it's simplistic, you will fail to comprehend the most basic things and produce totally unnecessary and inane points into the conversation

Does universe count as impersonal god? If yes, then i do have or belief in impersonal god.. I believe universe itself is a god as nothing created it but created everything .. I don't worship thr universe though ..
And my view could change if theory of multiverse becomes scientific fact.
