The false self and our knowledge of it's deception proves God.

RE: The false self and our knowledge of it's deception proves God.
I'll probably get my ass in a sling here but here goes.

Deception of ourselves and our knowledge of our false idol proves God.
I do not understand ”Deception of ourselves” I have no idea what that means. I've tried to decipher what that means and have come up empty.  I cannot understand “our knowledge of our false idol”; no idea what that means either. The logic here is not Aristotelian it has to be some personal esoteric logic that defies western logic.

Quote:1. Worship is what is valued most.

Perhaps to you “Worship is what is valued most” but not for me and I suspect most if not all members of this forum. Again this has to be some sort of internal logic that defies all western logic.
And as to what I value most is not germain to this post.

Quote:2. Each person tends to value themselves the most.

I suggest you not mix singulars with plurals. “person” and “themselves”. Probably but it does not follow that it eventually leads to “God”.

Quote:3. No person believes others ought to value them the most.

Seems to be a catagorical statement that may of may not be true. But again your logic has to be something that comes from a near eastern philosophy/religion that doesn't relate to western thought processes.

Quote:4. We are in double think where we value ourselves as number one but don't believe others ought to value ourselves the most.

I have no idea what “double think” means/is. The sentence makes absolutely no sense what so ever. This is only a repeat of number 3 above.

Quote:5. Each person committed to valuing themselves the most thus creates a false belief, they don't truly believe they should be valued most and hence are believing and acting to lie.

How does valuing oneself creat a false belief? If someone values him/herself how does it come about they don't really believe they should be valued most and are therefore believing and acting a lie? Doesn't make sense, back to the esoteric logic you practice.

Quote:6. Therefore we are false gods.

We are not gods false or real, It does not follow. How does all the above show we are false gods. I'm at a total loss here.

Quote:7. This suggests there is something we should value the most that is not us and that everything should value the most as well.

That sentence makes absolutely no sense at all. Again the logic is at best obscure. I was fine up to the “not us” part, what follows makes no sense or relate to the first part of the sentence.

Quote:8. That being is that which out to be valued the most by us and by all (God).

First of all “out” should be “ought”. In any case you still haven't validated any reason for anyone to believe there is a reason for God.

Your whole argument (if in fact it is an argument) is fallacious, the conclusion does not follow from the premises you stated above. However if your logic has its basis in a near eastern or eastern philosophy/religion then I cannot refute it and have no desire to do so. Non the less it has no validity in the western world.

State your beliefs in classical Aristotelian logic “if A and B then C” and we might be able to understand what you are trying to achieve.
