What/Who created God?

[theVOID]

God would interact with any moment in our time in all time. As God is timeless there is no past for him... doesn't he live the whole thing as one moment?

Does he not understand all perspectives of experience? If so he understands our linear passage through time and can plot his actions in relation to our experience. So even though he lives the whole thing in one moment he would also see things linearly. This means he knows the consequences of his decisions and how it affects us, and regardless of the suffering caused by both his actions and inactions both you and him believe everything he did was perfect. It seems to me that this changes the issue from a philosophical to a moral one, namely how can you consider his actions perfect considering the amount of suffering of innocence in the world?

I am also getting the feeling that your God is more mechanical than other concepts, would that be fair to say?

His action at any given moment in our time would be completely perfect, so he has no need to change his mind, as that would imply an imperfect decision, which would be impossible.

So you see god more as an unfailing mechanism than a mind? Fair enough, though if you want to believe that prolonging the suffering of impoverished children is a perfect action then that's on you.

What are the practical distinctions that you make between God and natural mechanism?

I agree. He can't have a past.

Then what did you mean by him having perspective from and end state?

God has no unresolved challenges, or he wouldn't be all powerful or all knowing. I think changing your mind is purely a time bound task.

Good point.

Good points fr0d0. Now I'll ask - what separates your claims from being mere assertions?

Nothing.
