YES

Define "God", and then define "real". Once you've done that, define "is". Then we might bloody get somewhere.

>>11942805
He is the only thing that is real.

>>11942829
Pedantic incel retard.

>>11942805
Idk probably or probably not. He isn’t exactly giving enough reasons to believe he’s real

yes hes reall lit bruh

>>11942805
no, the devil is though. There are gods, but there is no Abrahamic universal god, and gods are severely less powerful than people imagine

>>11942829
"is" is a bit over the top

but yes, define "god" and maybe "real".
Lets have a constructive thread otherwise op should just have posted a straw poll "is god real [ ]yes [ ]no"

>>11942829
God is the Real

>>11942805
He is in my head.

"We can only whish God to be real, but at the same time we should bet on his existence as we don't have anything to lose in either case"
~Immanuel Pascal

Isn’t it pretty to think so?

>>11942805
Maybe!

Nope.

>>11942995
Shaddup Satan

>>11942805
highly unlikely

Very likely

>>11942805
He is real. Really evil.

>>11942829
God is the pure act of being
Real, meaning his existance=true/positive
Is, meaning he is actual

God is the Christian God.
Reality has the definition used by Descartes.
Is means to exist, to live in said reality.
So, does the Christian God exist in our perception of a plane of reality?

>>11942829
Define "define", then define "we", then define "bloody" and then define "somewhere".

>>11942805
God is the most real thing there is. Being existence itself, hes more real than you.

>>11942842
>less powerful than people imagine

Interested to hear this theory, how come?

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of being a god?

I heard that us existing is God trying to figure itself out.

>tfw /lit/ made me unironically believe in God
I just want to thank you all for saving my soul

>>11943810
You’re welcome, brother.

gods are like the essence of certain places that control how they are. When you enter somewhere you basically have to play by the god's rules. It's not black and white though, humans can create wellsprings of religious meaning that contends with gods and demons.

the God that the Jews think they are worshipping is Saturn, and he is a blind idiot god.

>>11942829
based and redpilled

>>11942805
I am partial to the Catholic conception of God as being the immaterial non-contingent essence of contingent existence. Do I know what this essence is? No. I appreciate it as a non-meme definition. It is not an empirical claim and never claims to be. In summary, something exists therefore there is God by definition.

Do you think Greeks, Romans, and Canaanites all got their mythologies from the Phoenician pantheon?
