Agnostic Skepticism- My Views

[robvalue]

I'm not understanding the point. You can just relabel the universe as god if it makes one happy to do so. I don't see a problem with that; neither do I see the point.

Being "alive" means whatever we say it means, it's a subjective interpretation of reality. So sure, we could say the universe is "alive" if we want, but who said god has to be alive anyway? The word means literally nothing, and we've already said it is the universe. God hasn't been mapped to anything real ever, not even in a very vague abstract sense, so no one can say what it isn't. Everyone makes up their own stuff, even people in the same religion.

For example, ignorant is describing to me in another thread that god is like the act of me being myself, or something. I could just disallow that, but on what grounds? It's not enough like the man in the clouds which is obviously what people are thinking of but trying so hard not to say?
