If there is no God, then, one may ask

RE: If there is no God, then, one may ask
(December 11, 2013 at 6:17 am)Stimbo Wrote: I didn't say you asked who holds up the sky, "genius". I used that as an example to illustrate how silly your question is. I apologise for not realising you have a problem with reading comprehension.

It doesn't matter how many different iterations of the question you can come up with - you're still positing a false dilemma: either "God" or someone else. First of all, I take issue with the classification of "God" as a person. Beyond that, however, it is still just as silly to ask your question in the way you do, as it is to ask "which is correct: the yolk of an egg is white, or the yolk of an egg are white?"

How about neither?

Or, to be more accurate in view of your restated question: I govern my life, to the extent that I have control over the things within my influence, and as far as that control ties in with external influences including other people governing their lives. Savvy?
What does mean you govern to the extent? Either you have control over your life or not?
