Ummm...ok, I guess. If it's impossible to disbelieve the gods, why are you trying to convince me they exist? Why would you be trying to convince me of something I already believe?
You know what? I don't really think you believe in god. God doesn't exist anywhere, so believing in him is the same as believing in nothing, so you don't believe in god.
If you can see the problem with the above statement, you should be able to see the problem with the statement you're asking us to consider.
Since it's impossible to disbelieve, the reason i'm hoping to influence you, is to make you aware of it. Because once you are aware of it, there's a vast amount more the universe has to offer once you believe. Once you're open to the faith as well. I've experienced it myself. Since you already believe, making it known to you is helpful then wouldn't it be?
God exists in you as you, so believing in god as yourself is simply a greater awareness of who you really are.
My statement is solid.
Quote:We already have a word for the Universe. That word...is "Universe." What is gained by calling it god instead?
Because god implies being alive and conscious. so if you were aware that the universe thinks, and you are apart of that thinking, wouldn't that influence you as who you are as a person, if not the entire world?

So the Universe thinks now? What evidence is there of that, exactly?
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
