Yes I pick on all religions.

You start with the naked assertion that a god exists with no evidence at all. You ignore that others with other pet god claims do the same thing. You ignore the fact that cognition is an emergent property of biological evolution and not a required cause of the universe.

It is not a "one trick pony". IT IS YOU getting annoyed that I am focused and not distracted by your attempt to bait and switch. If others here want to entertain your naked assertion or wade through your yellow brick road they can. I don't do that.

NOW your starting point is a non material super hero.

Where is your evidence outside your book or personal belief that can be universally proven outside your own personal bias?

Once more you're not reading. I don't claim existence. I claim belief. I'm not getting annoyed. I'm simply holding you to book. Don't prod me and I won't respond.

Nice try at a deflection. Not buying it Bri. Sorry.

I don't have any beliefs in any god, but I do feel there is a collective universal consciousness that we are all one in. This idea of a universal consciousness is something I cannot prove

Ok in fairness to Froodo what you just said right here is an example of making a claim with no evidence. And like Froodo it is a naked assertion. And on top of that no credible scientist would take even this claim seriously.

If you truly believe this it is absurd to simply make that claim with no evidence and is the same flawed logic froodo is employing.

If you can accept that a hurricane does not need a cognition to start it, then why would the universe need a cognition or be a cognition itself?

Outside the cognition of biological life, the planet and universe are NOT thinking like a human nor is it one giant being itself. It is merely like a collection of moving objects much like you accept that a hurricane is a result of processes that require no cognition to occur.

Brian you're in dream land. Whoever you quoted "feels" like there's something bigger. That's hardly a claim, and the author is quite open about their lack of commitment to anything tangible.

There you go saying that I'm making a naked assertion again. Please tell me what that is. You seem to have no clue.
