God and the dilemma with unfalsifiability

[Redbeard The Pink]

Because your god is actually an extension of yourself. Everyone's is. Whether you realize it or not, you are in fact your own god. You've painted a character on it, but that is indeed yourself that you're worshipping and praying to.

I don't think so. If so then I would just do whatever I wanted and just say God is ok with it.

It's like you're brushing self-awareness with the very tippy-tips of your fingers, but you're just not reaching it.

That, my dear, is exactly what religious people do. Your god agrees with you about everything. If you don't like gay people, then guess what? Your god doesn't like gay people. If you think gay people are ok, then guess what? Your god thinks gay people are ok. In any case, god's qualities are dictated by the assumptions and baggage attached to the individual worshipper.

You might find this interesting (I had a hard time looking this up, but if I find the specific article, I'll add the link): a study was conducted where people were asked to consider what, say, Brad Pitt thought about a certain issue. One part of the brain would light up. They were then asked about their own thoughts on the same issue. A different part of the brain would light up.

Next, they were asked what god thought about the same issue. Guess which part of the brain would light up when they pondered that. Go on...guess.

If you said, "The part of the brain associated with what the self wants," then you'd be correct.
