Why you can't find God.

Because God is hidden inside of the mind, like a wiener dog in a hotdog bun. Because the wiener is one with the hot dog.

 

Memes are such a disrespectful way to communicate. I mean, once in a great while would be something, but now everything is a meme. People randomly go viral. And it's essentially disrespectful, obviously. So much of it is about disrespect.

I'm saying that there is an inside to the mind. I don't know where we are, much less what God is.

Wait, I figured out what God is, by deducing what the greatest thing is. God is so closely associated with loving the innocent instead of hating them, that that is essentially what people mean when they say "God." Unless you can think of something better!

There is an inside to the mind. But you think your mind is in your head. It may be in your head, but it also has an inside where things are experienced. Dreams remind us that we have an inside.

Even the blind can use their imaginations, and can therefore dream. What is this second sight, the imagination? How does a brain imagine anything?

No, I tell you. The mind really does have an inside, which is the place where all of this comes from.

 

weiner in a hot dog bun isnt exactly hard to find though

 

I'm saying the wiener dog exists in the mind of the hotdog.

 

Off the cuff comments to long time HF members are even more disrespectful in my opinion.

 

I disagree completely. This place is really nice, and I suppose it has to be rigid if it's going to last, but at least you would think there would be a flamewar board for people that just like to bullshit. I think it's fun when tempers flare. I don't mean that in a sinister way. It just adds to the drama. I mean, try to imagine a good drama without any tempers flaring. Yet if I get in one of my moods, which is an aspect of my personality, I could get banned.

I'm not that bad, anyway. I can get very depressive, though, is what I'm saying, to the point where I can't even speak my own thoughts properly. And in the frustration, I could be just reaching out, and all you guys want to do is joke around.

Well guess what?! I'm a person and my name is Anakin.

 

I go off sometimes too, so I get that. I try to realize when I'm hurting someone and back off.

 

I don't hurt anyone with my words. No one believes I actually am as mean as I try to sound. People just offend me, for one reason or another. This captain runs a tight ship.

 

Are you referring to something from another thread and bringing it in to this one?

 

Actually, you're describing the Jesus in their bible, not God. God is pretty darn mean. He/she killed a lot of innocent folks just to get even with some he/she didn't like.

 

actually that's also from their bible. in reality no one knows a damd thing about god or its will or even if there's one or billions or non.

but if god is supposed to be good, and the word "god" itself, started out as one of those mideval contractions for good,
then goodness and the desire to be feared being absolute opposites, it stands to reason, that what ever good god or gods exist,
have no desire to be feared,

and again, if all powerful, then certainly owes nothing to what anyone tells each other,
and that includes any book, the bible of christianity, or the scriptures of any belief.

christians claim their bible to be the will of their god, yet produce no evidence of this.

the unknown being unknown, imposes no such limitations. god or a god could be anything, or anything it chooses to be.
can exist in any form it may wish.

it is reasonable though, that such a being, while not limited to the imagination, equally not require physical form.

our own egos like to take credit for all the good that we do, but blame our screwups on invisible forces.
(and sometimes statistical ones are to blame, yet we remain a component of them in some sense when they are)

beliefs generally flip that on its head, and give credit for all good things to invisible forces or beings,
while putting the blame for everything less then wonderful on supposedly inherent tendencies, which in reality are not inherent at all,
but learned, often to promote the wide acceptance of a particular belief.

so yes you can have a god who is well meaning, even helpful when it chooses to be, and mostly harmless into the bargan.
you also can and do, live in a universe, that has plenty of room for a god, or lots of them, but no real requirement nor probability,
for anything to be infallible.

 

that's certainly one way of looking at it, although it might be inside out too, like the forest and the trees.
perhaps it is through introspection a sense of communion arises, but i've had encounters to suggest otherwise, or at least that it is not limited to doing so.

magical places happen in nature, quiet places, strange and mysterious in a calm way, where no human voice or thought intrudes,
and you can go and sit in such a place, and it is more likely that gods and goddesses, spirit people, and these owe no debt to any physical species form,
may evidence themselves there, then in any humanly constructed place of worship.

what you won't likely find anywhere, are preconceived notions, whatever beliefs they might be from, of god-like beings in physical form.

 

You were the chosen one! You were supposed to bring balance to the Force!

 

You're going on a bit about this now.
Do you even know it was anything to do with Andy?

I'd like Irminsul to be posting but she isn't. If you were so close, you should have had other lines of communication.

 

And we are God. I don't find this hard to accept but most people seem to. But I get the feeling it's because they feel they are making too high a claim about themselves. They feel it's not humble. But if it's true, there's little use denying it.

 

When i read " stranger in a strange land " I totally got the concept of "thou art god " you can see why it was one of charlie mansons favourite books though !

 

Is it good? I'll check it out.

 

Is an amazing book mate I hope you do read it so cleverly written

 

actually i don't see a connection between manson and stranger in a strange land at all, but if he liked it, well people like what they do, and i don't take what someone else likes or dislikes as implying anything about anything other then maybe themselves.

maybe whatever god is, isn't something that is lost.
