Follow Truth and there you'll find God, whatever It is--not the other way around, since God, whatever It is, doesn't talk.
You see, this is why I said that some of you guys just don't care about logic or being rational.
You said that to you, the truth is god. The two are the same.. so what is the use of FOLLOWING THE truth/god to find the god/truth?
What does that mean? Both words are the same in your view?
As long as someone follows what you think your god is .. he will find the truth?
The truth is what you think your god is?
The truth about what.. GOD?
I like to use logic. I admire it. I like it when things make sense.
So, let me try to make sense out of your statement.
i will break it down into parts. That's what I do when something doesn't make sense to me.
"Follow Truth and there you'll find God"
Let's try to see how you've defined these terms first of all..
The truth and god mean the same. God is truth you said. I can quote you if need be. Since both words are interchangeable.. let's do that. Let's substitute TRUTH for GOD.... and see what sense your first statement makes.
So.. Follow the Truth and there you'll find truth. Ok.. well, that makes sense. But it's hardly ... deep or very meaningful. If we follow something, we are most likely to find it. Follow a car, and we will find the car. Follow a river, and we should also find the river. Follow a guy.. and we might find the guy. Yep. Perfectly logical. IS THIS what you need to tell us? If we look for something or follow something, we might find it.
But what IS this truth you are talking about?
Any truth?
Or are you talking about the truth YOU happen to own, and want to promulgate? A truth?
So, you say that it's TRUE that your god is real. You seem to be saying more, however.
I think you mean YOUR kind of god. I don't think you're talking about ALLAH or VISHNU or THOR or ... Quetzalcoatl, right? ( just a wild guess your god might be the one Christians usually call God )
So, I THINK .. ( again guessing, because you're NOTHING if not poetic ) You mean Yahweh... is the only TRUE god. Is that what you mean? You've come to the conclusion that the god YOU happen to believe in can be the ONLY TRUE god out there.. and that all the OTHER gods people believe in now, or have in the past are FALSE gods?
Is that your claim?.. I'm guessing because I have to guess... You express yourself more poetically than logically.
So, let's go with my guess for now. Your claim, as far as I can tell, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that YOUR god ( and presumably no other kind of god ) IS the ONLY TRUE god?
Well, that's a good logical claim, if that's the case. BUT ... you left out the part where you might have proved that your god is such and such, the "truth" and so forth. When I look for your REASONING.. about how you came to that conclusion, it's not there. There is no reasoning, no evidence.. no proof. You see, all of those things are parts of LOGIC.
And the logic is absent in this part of your statement. You make a claim.. call it true and that's it.
Well, that's not it.
That's the START of it.... but if IT was your desire to convince anyone.. your IT isn't.
It's like it's good enough for you to tell us what you believe in. .. No logic, just your belief.
Ok. You believe in a god.
So do many people. Now what? .. Did you want to give us logical reasons as to why you believe in your god?
If that's the case.. bring the reasons.
Let's take a look at your logic.
So far, I've seen none. But that doesn't mean you don't have any. AND it also doesn't mean that it's going to be very persuasive or good logic if you do have any. I'm not convinced that you care too too much about logic or being particularly persuasive. And if I'm COMPLETELY off base here and you LOVE logic and reasoning, then you can easily prove me wrong by stating your best logical case for ANY of your astounding assertions.
Then, if you logic is not only valid but SOUND, you WILL be persuasive in a logical sense.
From what I've seen, you prefer to be poetically MOVING ... but you don't need logic for that. In fact, logic messes up fine poetry, doesn't it? Gets in the way of all of those great emotions?
Poetry is renowned for being quite irrational and emotional in nature.
You're pretty good at poetic statements. But remember that poetry and logic just aren't the same. Some people can tell the difference between the two.
Now, the second term in your opening statement is "God".. and how do you define that word?
Well, in your words "God, whatever It is"
I would call that a vague definition if I ever saw one.
So, the truth is god and god is whatever it is.... you don't know what god is.. or god's meaning is relative, and THAT'S the truth.
So, the truth is relative.
The truth is whatever it is.
God is whatever THAT is.
Well, when it comes to LOGIC.. that's a big honking "WHATEVER, DUDE".
I get it, you couldn't care LESS about logic or using it.
And you are a relativist. Meaning is completely subjective, to you, meaning is completely subjective, the truth is completely subjective, your god is completely subjective.
What about reality.. completely subjective?
I can't guess .. But two things are pretty sure.
You are a relativist, and your logic is poor to non-existent.
As to your poetry.. yah.
Ok.. I think it's nice, but I've read better.
Now the last bit.. "God, whatever It is, doesn't talk."
What does that mean, I wonder?
Let's try to make sense out of that.
God, you say doesn't TALK.... ok.
So, let me guess that you mean GOD doesn't COMMUNICATE... is that a fair guess?
If your god doesn't COMMUNICATE... how do you know anything about the god?
If your ideas about this god ARE WRONG.. God wont talk.. he just DOESN'T talk. So, of course you could be completely WRONG about this god, and in fact, you could be wrong that this god exists in the first place.
I find that exceeding strange thing for you to say. But of course, the poetic nature of the statement cries out for PERSONAL interpretation. We could interpret that "doesn't talk" statement almost ANY way at all. I gave you one such interpretation. And you might think.. SO WHAT?
Who CARES about my personal interpretations?
Ah.. but it's my personal "truth".. It's my truth.. it's my relative truth.. it's "my god"...
But who cares about relative kinds of personal truths?
If you seek or follow your personal, relative truth.. you will find YOURSELF.
Seek yourself , seek your own personal opinions and biases and you shall find your personal opinions and biases a plenty.
But LOGIC? No.
Reasoning?.. hardly.
Poetry and bliss and easy happiness, fantasy and relativism? .. Maybe.
