Quote:1. There are no "or's" in a definition. Either god is a being of the universe (in which case it is simply an entity within it) or it is the creator of the universe. Pick one.Well, it might be both. I visualize the concept of God as such in my mind, friend.
2. No, you cannot define it as the sun, the moon the stars, blah, blah, blah. These things have an identity and a definition of their own.
On the other hand, going by your definition, a synonym for god would be "The Atom". It is the creator of the universe - without atoms there would be no matter and without matter there would be no universe. It also exists within the universe. It is present in the sun, the moon, the stars, yack, yack, yack - it is a part of everything around us. The shoe fits perfectly.
Umm... what did I just do? Did I just give irrefutable proof of god's existence?
Halelujah. God exists and I can prove it. All you silly atheists were looking at the skies for evidence of god, while you should have been looking into an electron microscope.
Quote:You start off fine here. Soul is your consciousness or your self. You should've left it at that. If everything around us possessed a soul, everything around us would be conscious. It's not.Well, I have given the outlook that my ancestors had on the issue, friend. They believed that everything around them had a soul of it's own.
Quote:These definitions are at odds with your definition of a soul. As you said, souls are bound to our fleshly husks. Our fleshly husks do not survive our death. Therefore, our souls do not survive our death. Therefore, they cannot reside anywhere after death.They don't?
Please, if not realistic, atleast be consistent with your own views
How do you know that they don't, friend?
I am consistent with my own views. But our ancestors had different views on their own, and we now also have the views on soul, heaven and hell from the world religions...
Like if you really had seen, tasted, or touched soul, I might have taken your views into account.
