Why Isn't God Visible?

[!Fluffy!]

hey i don't see anything

 

[DavyCrocket2003]

Have you ever seen Me? I doubt it. Does that make me invisible?

Not a perfect analogy but you get the point. I think God is visible and that people do see him. Just not everyone at once.

 

[Darkness]

It is simple, God is not visible because He doesn't exist.

 

[logician]

If a supposed god existed, and wanted us to know it existed, there would be no doubtr of its existence. Thus, either no god exists, or it doesn't care if we know it exists.

I'm pretty sure i've given ample evidence of god thus far. He likes tickles and screams with joy when i throw him at the wall. So there.

Water is visible. :sarcastic

Why isn't God visible?

Becauase a lot of people don't know who, what, where, when, or how to look in order to begin to see him.

I feel Jesus in the clumsiness of young and awkward lovers
I feel Judas in the long odds of the rackets on the corners
I feel Jesus in the tenderness of honest, nervous lovers
I feel Judas in the pistols and the pagers that come with all the powders

-The Hold Steady

I think it's about the feeling and not the seeing.

God is seen in miracles etc and is found on the mooring line running from your own heart……. where first we find oneness, which has unconditional love surrounding, in the middle of that is wisdom and in the very core of this is God, which as such is faith as an energy.

If we saw heaven here, and the kingdom of God comes to earth, the light (quantum field acceleration) would destroy most of us.
So why don’t we see God, as God is in his temple, which people are still connected to though many choose to ignore this and serve EGO and in fact cutting off that mooring line them self’s.

So sad to see so many people being so materialistic. But to get to the lever of the people who need a picture or something materialistic to prove that God exists. You first need to know what you mean by God. If you think God is a man with a beard judging and steering everyones lives. Good luck to you. To get more materialistic. Have you ever seen the electricity that powers your pc? No? Why do you know it exists? Yes because it powers your computer. Your computer functions because of the energy that you can't see. But you can see what it does, don't you? The pc-monitor lights up. The computer reacts because of you typing on the keyboard. It reacts by sending messages to the screen. What sends those messages to the screen? Yes electricity, energy. Have you ever seen that energy? No? Why do you know what it exist then. Now I'll take you to another level. Why on earth did your fathers sperm and your mothers egg grow out to be you? Why on earth does a plant grow by putting it in the soil and throwing water on it? What makes it grow, what makes you grow from a little ball of cells? What steers this?..... Yes energy!!!! The energy of live. I hope that gives you an idea what God is and why you don't see it, but know it is there. Good luck to you.

God is whatever you feel like making him be. He's everything I don't understand. Which makes him absolutely worthless. Funny that his doctrines are immoral, but we ignore those. Oh wait, those aren't his doctrines. The explanation for the extreme complexity of the universe is a more complex being. But wait, he's actually simple. But he can do everything. Hmm. That solves the question of where we come from, but where does he come from? He just is. Hmm. So if he just is, why can't the universe just be? I mean, "God" came from nothing, why can't the universe have come from nothing? It's amazing that Christian families tend to produce Christian children, Hindu families tend to produce Hindu children, Islamic families tend to produce Islamic children. God intended that too, just to confuse people.

I don't understand, so that's God. Sadly we can't just be honest with ourselves and just say we don't know. I don't know why the universe exists. OMG Ignorance! I know, I'm gonna make up an answer and pretend like it makes perfect sense. The all powerful bigot in the sky made men with nipples and eyes with blind spots where the optic nerve connects to them. Oh yeah, I can't call him a bigot, because religion is sacred, even though many supposed gods actually exhibit the behavior of a bigot.

Why on earth did your fathers sperm and your mothers egg grow out to be you?

God did it.

Why on earth does a plant grow by putting it in the soil and throwing water on it?

God did it.

What makes it grow, what makes you grow from a little ball of cells?

God

What steers this?..... Yes energy!!!!

God caused that too.

The energy of live. I hope that gives you an idea what God is and why you don't see it, but know it is there.

God says so, that's why.

Let's add some more. Why are you an atheist. God did it right?

-No not that one, you're an atheist of your own free will! God isn't responsible for the actions of his creations, though he knows what they will do and has the power to change that.

Why do children starve?

-I want them to. Don't question me. That one's bad therefore it's your fault.

Why do doctors save lives?

-I want them to. That one's my will.

How come you inspired crappy rules that are obviously immoral?

-They aren't immoral, just ignore the ones you don't like.

Then why did you have us write em down if they aren't valid?

-Shut up, I don't answer to you. Bloody questions tick me off. I'm gonna go create some new diseases now to mess you guys up some more.

Why don't you require your people to question obvious contradictions?

-Because being dumb and cowed is sacred. I like ignorance. In fact, if you would all think like rocks, that'd be swell.

Man this is easy. I'm just gonna turn off the check and balance system of my brain. Go on ask me anything. I'll bet God can jump through any hoop! We're actually typing on the internet because God decided we should invent it. Oh wait no he didn't we have free will. But he knew we would do it. But he couldn't stop it. But he's omnipotent. But he's omniscient also. But he can change his future mind. But he knew he was going to do that. But adjectives can't describe him. Neither can language. Man he's amazing. Just can't fight it. Life is so much better when you completely suspend reason. God made all these stars with their light on the way so silly people who rely on their reason would think that they were really really far away, so they would doubt his doctrine. Cause that makes sense. Wait it doesn't have to make sense. It's God.

You know what God is? Willful denial of reality in favor of what makes us more comfortable. The assumption of knowledge.

Those gods don't exist. But yours does. And you don't need to prove it. And we should follow rules imposed by improvable beings.

Why isn't God visible?

Picasso isn't visible, but his paintings are. Like an archaeological dig, I keep finding evidences that God existed and they are recent enough to make me feel he is alive.

Feel better after getting that off your chest? I hope so.

Your premise is so far off base, I don't really know how else to respond other than to say that you have no idea what the impetus for religion is.

Rants are rarely (if ever) worthy of a reply. That goes double when the rant is MINE!

Yes, but there are pictures of Picasso, and we can talk to his offspring and the people who knew him. While many claim to know God, no one has actually, physically met God. All these comparisons of other things we can't see, like Picasso and electricity, are flawed, because there is actual, tangible proof that these things exists that we can all agree on, whereas the "proof" for God is completely subjective. You can measure electricity, you can't measure God.

Seeing a church, temple, mosque or synagogue is not objective? Seeing people praying is not objective? Dear me, the fingerprints of God are all around us. You can do your best to natter them away, but they are still right in front of your nose.

Seeing people throw spilled salt over their shoulder doesn't prove that they'd have bad luck if they didn't, it just proves that people are superstitious.

I see that you don't accept God in the form of the energy of life. God can be measured the same way as energy. Doctors do it every day. If you think God can't be measured than God must be dead itself.
