God as the hidden basis to our knowledge.

[genkaus]

Thanks to everyone for their feed back.

So you are not actually going to answer the criticisms?

I just feel the world only makes sense with God as the basis of our perception.

And why do you feel the need to add god when reality is perfectly capable of making sense without him?

It's as if everything is a manifestation of our knowledge of God.

Again, unnecessary inclusion. People can know beauty even without knowledge of the god concept.

Perhaps because I've been thinking of everything as a sign of God, I'm use to seeing this way.

You guys are not use to it, so you see God as separate from your perception.

Just because one is used to it, doesn't make it right.

I see the world as a manifestation of God's beauty and glory.

It's not that I just believe, I see these things as manifesting an eternal absolute reality and feel our perception is such that is eternally based.

The constantly changing concepts regarding beauty and glory disprove any eternal basis for them.

We all free to have our opinion.

And unless justified, they are worthless.

It seems all praise we praise is derived from a eternal praiseworthy reality.

Not if the same thing can be considered praiseworthy and contemptible at the same time.

This is the way it seems me, and I find impossible to imagine the world as other then this. I try to see it through atheist view, but it just seems the beauty, glory, praise, all just disappears, as if we don't know and don't perceive, but we do perceive and know.

That's because the atheist view has nothing to do with beauty, glory, praise etc. These things come from something deeper, they come from the very convictions that your life is based on. They are the result of the philosophy you live your life by. Both theism and atheism are consequences of that philosophy. You cannot simply look to atheism as a source of those values because it is not and has never been the source of them.

...you realize that God is the hidden basis behind our knowledge of everything.

Or perhaps, hidden in plain sight. When something is ubiquitous we take it for granted and overlook its presence.

One old fish says to the other, "The water's cold today." A young fish overhears and asks, "What's water?"

God is air?
