What is required to make a God?

[Unveiled Artist]

If I wanted to make up a God, how would I do so? What ingredients would I need to do this?

In sculpting, you have clay, oil, and water. To create a human figure, one needs these items to shape and polish until formed as desired. A clay figure cannot exist without a creator.

In human relationships, we need two (for sake of example) people. Love doesnt develop on its own. Two people develop or create love by how they interact with each other, care for, and do things for the other. Love does not exist on its own.

To create something into existence we need things and/or people (again, for sake of point).

By definition, among many, God's existence (well say external whether it be from mythology or not) is separate from humans. (In this case, Im not looking at pantheism, panentheism, and variations of), who is invisible or as some say "beyond our understanding" or our "inner" (hidden?) consciousness.

If that be the case, Gods are invisible regardless if you read a out Him in any boko, see him in nature, or in yourself, he, a pronoun, not abstract concept, is still there.

If you were to create a God by this definition and keeping in mind the need for things or people etc (not fictional things), how would you do so?

A step further, once you created your God, in what ways you would make him, her, it known to others?

EDIT

Folks an example is on post 14. Im not asking to resphape a pre existing god nor replacing one. Call hsi george.

By definition any God you can create, is in essence nothing more than you, yourself.

@ Carlita
Peace be on you.

1= You or any one cannot make a God.

2= God is Holy Quran is:
Rightful Deity
Who has all noble attributes
Who does not have any weakness
Who is the Source of all blessings
Who is One, has no associate of any kind.
(Mentioned by Ahmadiyya Muslim Promised Messiah Mahdi - on whom be peace)

More of God as an external being. I tried to rule out concepts as in pantheism because you cant create inner yourself. However, like a sulpture, you can create a statue or creating love by finding someone else one establish that love are ways to see God ouside ourselves. Rather than define it, if we were to create ij mind or physical an external being how would we do so and what characteristics and elements would you use to do so?

That would mean the God you would create would have the same God in the Quran?

 

[Desert Snake]

It's called an idol. Once you form it, it can be worshipped, lol, like a god. I don't really think it's a god.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

You have the car, but the battery is dead. You must use jumper cables.

You have the God image, but it was self made. You must use faith.

Eventually that faith expands into a belief. It will be such a powerful patron it will change reality, because you'd be seeing it everywhere if you expect to. That's why some Muslims recognize Allah in nature, and at the same time Christians recognize Jesus in nature.

 

[Aupmanyav]

Either you yourself claim or someone else does it for you to testify the message is from God. Moses, Paul, John, Mohammad, Bahaullah, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Joseph Smith, David Koresh, Jim Jones, etc.

God explained Himself like that, as understood from Quran. ... I cannot dare to say 'the God I would create, even hypothetically.'

It's like asking a stone to create a mobile.

 

[Aupmanyav]

The mobile is created (it is revolving around the Earth along with Russel's kettle). Check.

Preferably, perceiving a motivational demand, understanding it deeply, attaining the inspiration to express it with some artistic merit.

There are other ways, but they are not ethically advisable.

(...) A step further, once you created your God, in what ways you would make him, her, it known to others?

I would not, because I have deep ethical reservations against the idea. If there is a God, he wants me to oppose the abuse of the concept.

But someone who ethically wants to express a deity concept should do that by using it construtively, ethically and, if at all posslble, artistically. The best way is by developing a sound religious doctrine and finding in it a place that well fits that deity.

The various Dharmas are very good at that, perhaps Hinduism above all. One should not of course neglect the attainments of Paganism and Shinto on that field, either. And I am fairly certain that there are occultist groups of some form or another specifically dedicated to the practice of deity creation and experimenting with those same deities, although I could not give details - such is just not my way.

/nods/ fair enough. No disrespect intended.

 

[Unveiled Artist]

Hmm. I guess an example would be, if I created "a" god rather than the Creator of any faith (so not reshaping an God that exists), Id say his/her/its characteristics would be

Love: Many gods have love. I guess I say love is in is respect for life. If I place a limitation on a god, it would be that his/her/its (hhi) can not take a life hhi created. Creation is born, lives, ages, ane die to live again as the moon and sun revolve the earth.

Justice: Is not from hhi directly. Hhi is an external force (lack of better words) would be that his not involve in taking a life. Hhi involvement is personal and if one wants to seek help, they can.

Worship: Hsi (he/she/it)does not feel a need to be worshiped. Rather, hsi is happy were hsi creation is. If hsi were to come down and talk to us, hsid be our equals. And since hsi can do anything, hsi would be human not god.

This god will help anyone not just those who ask for it. A parent is always or should be involved in the childs life and if that child should go away, there is no punishment in any form for leaving. This god will feel sorrowful, and hsi knows creation will grow and live as will.

a stone is a human?

We have no control over nature.

I know....I dont see how that relates

 

[Rick O'Shez]

By definition any God you can create, is in essence nothing more than you, yourself.

Exactly, a projection of a human need.

 

[`mud]

If I were to create my god,
I would start with love,
while stirring in compassion.
And then I would add a spirit,
which would give to all, free will.
Then I would paint the Cosmos,
until all are annointed with me.

First.....one must find true love !
