So to look around and see the gift I've been given(y'know, life), I can't think of any other reason He would do that other than out of pure love. I can feel that love.(February 11, 2010 at 4:32 pm)Watson Wrote: Purple Rabbit - How would I know what God feels? Why, just look around you! Life is His gift to us, and I don't think such an amazing gift would be given out of anger, hate, or any other less divine emotion but love. It is not an unhuman feeling, it is an above human feeling which we have access to.So to look around you tells you what god feels? Are you serious? You can't even know how I feel from looking around. You are trying to mind read a fabulated being. According to your religion it is exactly the other way round, god is constantly mind reading you.
Quote:Ever seen gangrene, cancer? Seen a calf in a herd singled out by prey animals? What feeling does that give you? If that's love to you than the cognitive dissonance of religion is utterly complete and the assertion that it reflects the morality of a divine being only leads to the conclusion that the divine being has abject moral.That is no tlove to me, that's just life. It's how things work, there's a natural order. Life works independent of how we feel about it. It's a matter of continuing to see the good in life, regardless of how much bad there is.
"One drop of love could evaporate vast oceans of hate." Or something of that nature, that's not the exact quote.
Quote:Furthermore your god can technically have no feelings and desires if he's a perfect being. That would mean he is changeable. Ask fr0d0 about it.God is changeable.
Quote:But if you think he can have feelings then answer me this: Can he feel guilt? I'm anxious to learn about this.
He views life through the most divine and perfect feeling there is; love. He doesn't have time for smaller and lesser emotions such as guilt.
