ORIGINAL: rulemylife This is what really irritates me, the certainty there is a God. On these endless religious threads those that question belief are told they are intolerant. Yet we have statements such as yours declaring that there is no question of the existence of a God. You just want to define God in your own terms. Isn't that what most religions are based on, defining a God in how best suits them? Laughing...religion or even spiritual beief causes such Eire. What did I say? I said that I didn't believe that there was an entity known as god, rather that everything, the universe, the laws of physics, the interactions between people, the interactions between submolecular particles for that matter was all part of one form of consciousness. That was all. I didn't say I was certain there was a god but rather that everything was part of a whole, an entire system which is interconnected, not seperated in a Descartian manner, not working smoothly by laws in a Newtonian universe but rather one entirity. Intolerant of those that question, on the contrary, only through questioning, seeking, trying to learn more, to understand is there any form of growth. I just want to define god by my own terms? Well, I am not using the term as an entity, someone out there seperate, I am using it meaning an entirity, a reality which is changing, conscious, creating, mallable... as for using my own terms, well yes, I wasn't going to appropriate your terms to use. Now religions, that is an entire 'nother conversation...
