[Serious] What does religion have to offer?
#20
RE: What does religion have to offer?
(July 17, 2019 at 7:18 am)Gae Bolga Wrote: From the standpoint of humanity, a god that’s in some other percentage of the universe rather than this percentage is equivalent to a god that doesn’t exist.  Though, that does make me wonder what sort of religion might manifest itself out of a group of people who believed that god simply wasn’t here.

Not if he's the creator of the whole universe. Islam dictates that God created the whole universe then resided in what is called "the throne":

Quote:Surah 10, The Quran:


( 3 )   Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne, arranging the matter [of His creation]. There is no intercessor except after His permission. That is Allah, your Lord, so worship Him. Then will you not remember?

You can't consider him to be "local" to the 96%; both that undiscovered region and the remaining 4% are under his grasp; he is residing outside them. In other words; we are below the throne.

I can't even imagine the size of such existence. But another verse verse from the Quran assures that he is also everywhere:

Quote:Sura 2, The Quran:

( 115 )   And to Allah belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn, there is the Face of Allah. Indeed, Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
