You are imagining God as a person, that's the problem. He is a different kind of being.Thiago26792

Do you have proof he is a different kind of being? Cause if he can't even be proven to exist to begin with, how can you start to claim what "type" of being he is?

Besides, I'm just going by the christian theory that "we're all created in his image", therefore, he would be similar to a human being.

So no, none of that "/thread" crap.

I'm just sayin...

What if god was tricked into thinking he's god, by an even greater power? It's possible...

Maybe there's a god above the god you worship. Who knows?

Prove he's a person-like being.blackngold29

technically, I think the burden of proof is on the one that stated the absolute first.

Prove he's a person-like being.blackngold29

Why would you ask me to prove he's a person like being, when you can't prove that he's not? :?

Uh oh! Did I exceed the limit?!?! :o

Maybe you should ask him :PHonenheim

How would I do that?

That's why my questions are hypothetical, and I said "who knows?" at the end. :|

Just like there's no proof of god, but that doesn't seem to stop anyone from throwing themselves at him.

this topic ended already with the /thread comment..Cesb02

So I can just go around the forum and type "/thread" in all of them, and then no one else is allowed to post?

Where do you guys come up with these silly rules? :lol:

NEW RULE: Religion threads are considered fad topics.

How does god know he's god?

How did it hit him one day that he realized he is all there is, and that he knows all there is to know? Could it be that the knowledge that he holds is just a veil that was given to him by an even greater power? Maybe god is being tricked into thinking he's the only god, by a god who is greater than him?

How could a god even know he was one? How would he realize it? Would he ever doubt his power and wonder if there IS something above him?

Cause if I was a god, I'd wonder myself..."How did I get here? And where did I get all these nifty abilities?"Deity_Slapper

Because He is the Alpha and the Omega, nothing literally EXISTED before Him. He created space and time, etc... But yeah, just the mere thought of "eternity", and what God was doing before He created the universe is too deep for me, lol.

Well, at least you're honest.

I think I'm going to make "/thread" my sig. That way I get the last word in every thread. I'm so smart.

A Being all knowing and perfect would surely know himself to be God.123625

That is clearly an assumption with no way to back it up. Only the god himself would be able to say something like that.

God is someone that the human mind cannot imagine or even comprehend. moptopskate

Then why do so many people claim to know what he wants? Some people even claim to know him personally. Tell me why, please.

You may be on to something. How does an omnipresent being without any physical form become self-aware?

Hmm yet you make the clear assumption God is not all knowing and doesnt know that he is God.I was going by the christian conception of God.

there actually is evidence for the existence of God. fanofazrienoch

If there was, everyone would be a beliver. Atheists wouldn't exist. Also, once the evidence is made clear, faith would no longer be necessary. We would just KNOW that he's there. Yet, to this day, people still NEED faith in order to beleive in god. I wonder why. Lack of evidence maybe?

If you have the evidence, don't hold back. The whole world has been dying to see it.

I didn't assume. My original post was of the "what if?" variety.

I find it hard to provide an answer when I haven't the faintest clue what you're asking.A_Tarkovsky

Then why'd you post? :idea:

though you could make the assumption that God is only all knowing in things he creates, like the way he is all present.

Haha, there is evidence for the existance of God. You don't go to jail just because there's a tiny slim of evidence against you. The same thing goes for God and the evidence for it. There is some evidence, but not enough to prove that he exists, just that he CAN exist.

That's the silliest thing I've read yet. Just enough to insinuate that he might exist? Wouldn't that cause people to explore that little gleam a little further and therefore, find the answer? Why are we still stuck on this little sliver? Besides, there's still no way to prove that those things that make you accept that there might be a god, could be caused by something else that as of yet is completely unexplainable at this point in time.

Then what are you arguing for? Do you beleive God doesnt know he is God?123625

I like discussing religion. I ask questions like this to see what kind of responses I get from different types of people. A lot of the answers are very entertaining.
