Is it wrong to say that whatever a man believes in is his "God?" So that, if a certain methodology is your highest principle you could say that science is your "God?"

>> No.1979610

Yes it is by the definition of God, if you altered God to mean personal beliefs. Then it'd be correct. But it isn't

It depends, not that anyone can define these things that's why they are out side of science.

God= all powerful all knowing being (could be all loving)

Fuck you and your definition of God. Nobody shares your definition of God so fuck off. Your "God" is just your own personal beliefs - stupid pretentious faggotry. Go die in a fire.

Derp, you just coincided with OP.

God is the driving force for the actions of a lot of people. However calling anything that one obsesses on or builds their entire world view around "God" is nothing but an analogy... and religion is a horrible thing to use as an analogy because it can so easily be misrepresented as an attack.

Well, I mean some people think that Jehovah created the universe. Others believe ... that science did it.

So they both believe in something which could be called God.

>> No.1979679

>>1979665
How could science or a god create a universe? It would both mean harnessing some form of pure creation power.

>> No.1979714

>>1979679
so you believe you weren't created?

>> No.1979726

Should we argue over semantics or definitions?

probably not

I believe that science is ignorant of the fact as they can manage. However I do personally believe there is some creation force we're unaware of as of yet. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

>> No.1979769

There is only ONE GOD and thats the all mighty dollar.

Oh I actually had the lyric wrong, but I think it still makes sense. Buddhism and shit is all about symbolic gods.

Black Sabbath - Megalomania

I hide myself inside the shadows of shame
The silent symphonies were playing their game
My body echoed to the dreams of my soul
It started something that I could not control
Where can I run to now? The joke is on me
No sympathizing 'cos it's insanity, yeah

Why don't you just get out of my life, yeah?
Why don't you just get out of my life now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, yeah?

Obsessed with fantasy obssessed with my schemes
I meet reality with pseudo mock dreams
The ghost of violence was something I'd seen
I sold my soul to be the human obscene
How could this poison be the dream of my soul?
How did my fantasies take complete control, yeah?

Why don't you just get out of my life, yeah?
Why don't you just get out of my life now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, yeah?

Well I feel something's taken me I don't know where
It's like a trip inside a separate night
The ghost of tomorrow from my favorite dream
Is telling me to leave it all behind
Feel him slipping away, slipping in tomorrow
Got to get to happiness
Want no more of sorrow
How I lied, went to hide
How I tried to get away from you now
Am I right if I fight?

Yes. That would equate the word god with everything, which is not the definition of god.

It's from a Black Sabbath song Megalomania. I actually had the lyric wrong, but I think it still makes sense. Buddhism is all based on symbolic gods.

Whatever the definition of god, it's not everything, nor is it what someone believes in. We all agree on that much. God is not the universe.
