Most here attack or defend. Are there any that just seek God.

You did say that if I looked that he would be found. Well, I've looked, and he wasn't found. And being an all powerful being, he shouldn't be that hard to find.

This means that you are looking with your preconceived notions that you must see some godlike deity or being. Look around you, what do you see? Energy and existence, that is what "God" is. The balancing factor in nature. It exists. It is all-powerful.

What you may see to be the balancing factor of nature might be the light of Jesus, the spirit of Allah, or maybe the enlightenment of Buddha for others. This Energy and existence to me is a product of nature, and not something supernatural. If this supernatural force wants to present itself to me, I will be more than willing to look at it.

Oh yeah! I forgot to mention that I don't believe in the so-called "supernatural". To me everything that exists is natural to exist. If such a "divine being" were to actually exist, it would be a part of this naturally existing universe would it not? It not, then it must not exist.

The way it was put it sounded like some crazy druidic type stuff

GIA, why do you speak so rudely and condescendingly towards those who hold a different view from you or disagree with you? All your vinegar will only make the flies ignore you.

 

[Greatest I am]

Which way is the right way? All these many different denominations keep telling me their's is the right way.

I have told you the way. GO and do it instead of asking the same thing over and over. Genesis is not in church.

It may be right for YOU, but how does that make it right for anyone else?

I can see beauty in a starving child. All things can hold beauty. But I also see the imbalance that was created to result in that child's starving. There is always a flip side to the coin. As humans we need to strive to keep that coin (life and the earth) spinning in balance. Otherwise that balance will be lost and all of humanity could perish just the same.

Reality is perfect but I do not see any beauty in a starving child.

I have read Genesis, and not everyone who has read it believes in it the same way. So, tell me why there are so many denominations with so many different interpretations of it, and why yours is the correct one. Am I missing something? What did you get out of it that myself and countless others have not?

Ha Ha! That's understandable. No, I believe in what is natural which is the "animate" energy of the existing Universe. This vibrational force which causes energy to change is what I would call the Spirit. But even it is a naturally occurring form of energy. That the way I see it anyways. There is no "supernatural" anything.

So you're a modern day Jedi.

Then you are not seeing the child, you are only seeing the imbalance.

Are you reading what I say.

I tool you to see the fall as a glorious leap. Did you. If not then you have not got it.

Moral sense comes from knowledge of good and evil.
Would you stop Eve or help her?

Morality is a subjective matter.

If Eve existed, then I would've helped her. I'm thankful for all the technology and human progression we have now. Besides, she didn't have the knowledge bestowed upon her from the tree to know that she shouldn't be eating from the tree in the first place. lawlz

Well to me the gods are merely spiritual guides and since I believe every soul in existence is was or has the potential to become a "god", to become a spiritual guide, I'd say there are as many gods and potential gods as there are spirits in existence(and no I won't take the time to count them all) However when it comes to a more traditional view of god as a "force" or "being" that permeates the whole universe or as a creative "force" I say there are an infinite number however while these forces are "seperate" they are also very much dependant on eachother. Much like siblings, they constantly conflict with one another but also desire to be in harmony with one another. So I guess no matter how "gods" are defined I'd say there is an infinite number of them, or at least there's no way to know how many of them there are so I don't bother counting them or bringing up a specific number.

But what does this have to do with the question I posed to you?

When you get the numbers down to one, that is wisdom.
