No escape

Correct, and yet you did not like my answer to that post. Why was that?

The conversation started to get insipid

 

[Jimmy]

If that is the case you have diluted the meaning of "God" to the point where it is pointless. Yes, the universe exists. But it has none of the traits of a God.

And that is such a weak claim that it only merits a "So what?"

They universe just is. It does not have any of the extraordinary traits associated with a god.

The universe brings me comfort. So I could say that my God is comforting. I might even dare to say that my God is loving

That appears to be largely your doing. When a person pretends to be enigmatic serious conversations tend to go that way.

When did i pretend this my friend?

Why not just say that you get comfort from the universe? Calling it "God" only leads to confusion.

Far too many times. Do you want me to play at being enigmatic?

It Doesn’t confuse me. To me there’s nothing greater than the universe. And if I can remember correctly there’s other religions that think the universe is God as well

I don’t think so. Your perception is flawed I’m afraid

Can you name any? I have not heard that claim before.

Or perhaps yours is.

I’m sure if you dig around online you can find something. I think the Native Americans might believe something like that

Pantheism
To an extent, Panentheism as well

No, they clearly have an agency behind their beliefs. Or rather I should say agencies since they tended to be polytheists. Many of them could them could be said to be avatars of nature, but they still acted as sentient beings.

Perhaps,.

So what is the difference between your God, @Moon, and no God at all?

Well maybe someone else here can clarify it and clarify your claim about the natives as well. I don’t know too much about it but I’m pretty certain there’s religions out there that equate the universe with God

 

[Jimmy]

No existence

 

[Subduction Zone]

No existence

No, that does not logically follow. And you are trying to drive the discussion into the insipid region again.
