Give your definition of god

>> No.11695031

Something we neither don't understand, nor ever can.

But there is no such thing as the latter. We will understand everything in time. God does not exist.

the universal laws.
that's why atheism fails, it's because they don't realize that god is a metaphor for the things that govern the world but that we don't understand (yet?).
organized religion fails harder though, i'm for personalized religion.

"That"

It sounds flippant, but it is sometimes used in the Upanishads since God, ultimate reality (Brahman), is not really describable. It is simply "that" (tat).

A few questions, because that's quite the meme:
Do you think that solipsism is compatible with any form of theology or metaphysics?
If so, how do you mend the inherent juxtaposition found in only believing in yourself and what you can conceive, but also to simultaneously believe in any archetypal God (or non-archetypal, because of the whole inconceivable thing)?
Am I the beast I worship?

>> No.11696001

>>11695269
Actually, his argument was that god couldn't be directly understood, but rather as a limit. For example, we can understand an infinite distance by starting with a finite distance, then understanding that it's not infinite, adding some distance, then repeating and understanding that we could repeat adding distance forever.

>> No.11696002

>>11695950
Heavy implications. With respect to yourself, you would also say "you" to refer to me. How is this solipsism when you may refer to a multiple?

Your perspective is the divine which has lost a good deal of its awe.

THIS IS MY DEFINITION OF GOD

>> No.11696046

To me, God is simply the idea that there is a deeper and more transcendental purpose to our existence
