i am god

[Dana22]

Not sure that makes any sense, anything fitting that description would not be God and it wouldn't really be omni-anything.

Explain?

For something to be god, it has to be at least Omnipotent, preferably Omniscient and maybe Omnipresent. If God is made up of lots of smaller organisms and stuff he can't be Omnipotent as he cannot control what happens to his smaller parts. Assuming I understood that right.

Depends on which gods we are talking about. Greek and Roman gods weren't omnipotent nor omnipresent.

Snip

Glad to see you took the red pill, as well. The truth shall become clear to you, soon.

That relies upon your definition of what 'god' is. To say a god has to be omnipotent is to deny the many God's across dozens of religions that have existed a status given to them by those. In many ways a definition of god is like a definition of religion itself, subjective.

No, the point I was making with the flexing arms and stretching legs analogy was that God exerts control over universe in a similar manner, being that the universe is basically God's body. Omniscience is a case of God having full knowledge of his body and is therefore capable of operating it.

If you mean Religion and Politics, i didnt intend for the thread to be religouse but it seems to be turning out that way.

If you mean Role Playing, what the fuck, why?

so everything that is inside you is also inside the universe. in a way you are a universe, you are THE universe.

Someone watched Babylon 5 im guessing.

 

[eastinfecter]

Yeah...i often get the same feeling:

Spoiler

 

[jamesworkshop]

so after 22 years of life, here is what i can come up with so far.

It is impossible to create something out of nothing, right? so everything that is in this planet, you, me, every partical of existance had to have allready existed in space before the forming of planet earth.

so everything that is inside you is also inside the universe. in a way you are a universe, you are THE universe.

we are the creaters of all this right here.

if life is truly random and chaotic than the only thing that one can be sure of is themselves. it is the only thing that you have control over and can positively without a doubt KNOW.

I am god, you are god. We are god.

Sorry if this is incomprehensible blabber, its late and i'm tired. i think i will watch some ghost in the shell and go to sleep.

Goodnight gods.

Edit: for the record i know this sounds a lot like five percent islam. i draw a lot of insperation from the wu tang on this one.

Double edit after reading some posts: I am not solipsistic. I acknowledge that you exist as your own indepent entity. what i tried to say in this post is that everything is connected. we are all the same amorphus goo. I am you, and i am god, so you are god, and we are all together.

You are not the only one

 

[ConnorTheRed]

Woo! Amorphous Goo!

 

[Doctor What]

Well, no matter is ever destroyed, just changed...does that mean we are all dinosaurs?

Hell yes it does.

 

[Gruevy]

Woo! Amorphous Goo!

^^That's sort of the idea, yeah! Well, close to it anyhow.

 

[Max Goldfine]

You are not the only one

this is brilliant. i live this guy, thank you for posting this.

a trully enlightning speech from one of todays finest minds.

 

[Battenbergcake]

Of course there's a god, and he's bloody sick of yuppies like you coming up with these hair brained scheme that when you close your eyes the world's no longer there.

Well dang, the solution to the greatest philosophical questions was answered in a short series of illogical sentence fragments on an internet forum.

I totally saw this coming.

If you mean Role Playing, what the fuck, why?

uh... because you're role playing as a god??

Lol, no you got it right. Yeah, in general, most threads about God end up in the Religion and Politics section, since any talk about God at all will turn towards a conversation about religion.

right but when i used the word god in the thread i didnt mean it as a religiouse god. god is just the best word for... well, whatever the fuck it is i'm talking about.

... no, we are not universes. Or gods. Or creators of the world around us. You have jumped far too many points in between your arguments to go from "we are part of the universe" to "we are our own universes".

I'm really not sure what you're saying here. You seem to take "I think therefore I am" and then add "a god" on the end.

Ah, but the implication is that God has set boundaries. He is confined to a body (the universe) and with that confinement He ceases to be all powerful, as there is a greater force binding Him.

This idea is present in Buddhism I think, where Buddha is the world and the world is Buddha. But I'm basing this off what I read in Monkey, and that's not exactly a straight faced story. Basically Buddha tells Monkey to go to the end of the world, and whilst he's there he sees 5 giant columns, writes his name on one and takes a piss on another. When he gets back to Buddha it is revealed he only travelled as far as Buddha's hand, and makes Monkey smell his own piss.

It would make for a cool sci-fi story though. The Search for the Divine Central Nervous System, or something like that.
