God is both whatever made the multiverse and the multiverse, and is human conscience.......wut

". It is indeed omnipotent but is very reserved until one finds true Faith, at which point it's apparent involvment in everything is very obvious."

You are so full of shit. Do something omnipotent then hippy.
Slowly I try and will. But we are divided. Through space/time and unity for good there will know doubt be change. Patience.

Not at all, but thanks for being negative.

Unfounded speculation.

Getting warm. It is in us because it is generated by us. That should be a clue that it/they had nothing to do with the cosmos.

Wishful thinking. Akin to when the Conquistadors named the ocean on the far side of South America the "pacific".

Completely unknowable and ineffable, except by you apparently. Did you read that in a book somewhere?

Multiverse? The higgs was found to be at 1.25 gev, not 1.40.
Multiverse is not the probable explanation today.

You're compounding the situation by amalgamating two very unlikely possibilities into the one equation.
Let's try to prove multiverses or gods first before we go any further.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Since we're talking about multiverses: if you have multiple universes JOINED by a common shared element. . . say, a deity, isn't that now just a universe with more dimensions?

IF there were a gawd, what is it doing?  Even if it makes a billion, zillion, quadrillion googolplex universes, it would be but a blink of the eye for an eternal being.  How could it possibly entertain itself throughout eternity?
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

God is just a word like any other, having no meaning at all without borrowing from somewhere else, but especially so since it doesn't describe anything real and it's completely inconsistent as an idea. It is the most brilliant piece of propaganda in known history though - if that helps.
Let us pray know.

I made a thread ages ago asking for coherent definitions. Turns out most theists have no idea what it is they are worshipping Tongue I got squat.


That has also been my findings.

For every person I asked, I got different definitions. And none of them are coherent.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

I wonder, is God showing his arse to one person, his left elbow to another...
