Evidence for Believing

[Inqwizitor]

Straw-man god, par excellence.  Well done...

If in your opinion it's a strawman god then you are now obliged to define the real god.
AFAICS nowhere have you have made an attempt at defining the god you actually believe in, so this is an ideal opportunity. What is the real god?*


*Points will be deducted for any mention of philosophers/theologians, dead or otherwise.

If I could define it comprehensively, it wouldn't be God. I know what God is not, and it's not something that moves around space and time and thinks about when or how it should intervene. God is the source and sustenance of existence, but I don't know — I cannot know — what that is, directly, only indirectly what results from it, such as matter and consciousness. I also know that I am not God, fortunately. Whatever representations we make are only imperfect analogies and metaphors. So you could say that any description of God is a limitation and caricature and, therefore, a straw-man. I think the video does a good job of showing that biblical stories cannot be the whole story. We can't try to limit God in any way, including with our religions.

Straw-man god, par excellence.  Well done. But let me just say that I don't think revelation is limited to this planet. If or when we contact other intelligent life elsewhere in this vast universe, I sincerely expect that they will have their own numinous relationship. "There is no meaning to all this stuff" is not an answer, either. Maybe extraterrestrials will convince you, if your own kind, cannot.  [Lol, imagine they actually look like the Flying Spaghetti Monster?]

I am not claiming that video describes all gods believed in by humanity, but there sure are a lot of people that do believe in a god very similar to the one the video is depicting.

You do remember, that the god in the vid is called Yahweh, right? That is a specific mythological god described in some ancient texts, that pretty closely lines up with the video.

If you are believe in a different god, then the video does not refer to you.

I do believe in Yahweh/Jahweh, yes. Praise Jah. The descriptor is etymologically from Hebrew and means what causes to exist. That is God. The root of all being.
