Does the greatest author succeed in the precise way that I propose? How could we even measure it? If we both read something that made us sad, are we both experiencing the same intensity of the same emotion or are we both just labeling what we feel: sad? This question cannot be answered because all of us are different. That's what God is, an experience unique to each of us that we have no way of transferring/translating outside of labels that cannot convey accurately what is actually being felt. It's all just approximation, just pointing to something that cannot be "touched".
No one has to do something exactly as you propose. At the end of the day, we are able to communicate to one another to make people experience what we felt. Can we mimic every single input we received to make them have the same exact output, of course not. But when I watch Titanic and I see Leonardo's eyes when he was floating in the water I can feel the terror he felt knowing that he was taking his last couple breaths. To go further and say "Did you feel the ice cold water and the lungs contracting" is asinine and the tactic of one who doesn't have a point.
ask you this because those men were God projected into a few limited human forms just like you. If you can't do it, of course they can't either.
God is everything there is. You bring up an interesting question: if everything there is gathered itself into a single human form, could it write a book about itself? Could it even know itself? Because it is infinite.
I get your point but you're trying to look at my explanation through your view of the world and it is confusing you. Read what I write and interpret the words as is, don't try to translate them to your world view. 6ZEROS is a bunch of code running on a computer in a data center and your computer asks that Server to give you 6ZEROS content via your internet connection. The server sends the code to you and it is rendered in your internet browser.
The code I write could be very ambiguous or very specific. If I provide ambiguity the look and features of 6ZEROS could change depending on if the user is surfing the web with Firefox, Chrome, etc. That's why I don't provide ambiguity in the codes, if I want something to appear black I don't tell the browser to render black I put #000000 because that is the specific type of black I want you to see ***MESSAGE***. The hashtags in your signature are a special type of orange yellow...if I told your browser to render orange yellow it would render it one way and another browser would render it another way. To make sure it is clear I tell the browser to render #FFCC00 as it knows that FFCC00 references a specific type of orange yellow that is clearly defined.
If I want the browser to display a picture of the 6ZEROS logo and I say "Posit onto thee logos of ZEROS in succession for it is most pleasing when imposed on reds of bright" it will not know what the hell to render. Whose fault is that? Mine. I have to write:
img src="6zeros.png"
...to get it to show the 6ZEROS logo because that is language it understands. My perspective and will is met because I gave clear instructions to the browser. The God you are proselytizing is either not smart enough to understand this concept or not benevolent enough to want to make things specific so that there is no confusion.
Your God is sending us this:
"Posit onto thee logos of ZEROS in succession for it is most pleasing when imposed on reds of bright"
When it should be sending us this:
img src="6zeros.png"
...and then wonder why everything is messed up.
But that's why I don't believe in the Christian God because it doesn't make sense. It supposedly wrote a book full of nothing but:
"Posit onto thee logos of ZEROS in succession for it is most pleasing when imposed on reds of bright"
...and it's so confusing that even the people that believe it's the truth can't even agree on its meaning. THat's a huge fail.
God is limited in human form, he cannot write about infinity because in the human form, he doesn't know it. Why would he? Literally stop eternity to write an incomplete book that explains his existence to himself when he could figure it out himself because he already did since he's writing the book explaining what he is to himself. Could an infinite being that is infinite creation ever completely know itself?
If this is true why do you hop on the board and act like you have all the answers? God can make Jesus and have him walk on water and turn water into wine but can't make a book that's unambiguous? Can't write a book that is this direct?
- Nigga, there's life all over the universe.
- I built this shit, yes I did
- The sun was flinging the Earth too hard when I built that shit so I built the moon to stabilize er'thang. Without the moon there yall waters would end up flooding and all yall would die.
- Yeah, animals have souls and you will see them niggas when you die
- I made weed to cure sickness that happens when small animals that recycle organisms go into your body and start trying to recycle your cells.
- If you get cancer you need to get two rutabagas, steep them in water and cardamom, drink it for two weeks straight. the Cardamom and rutabagas for a protective layer of your cells and help them fight the cancer.
- Space ain't that large, Black holes are freeways to get you acrossed it quickly.
He doesn't have to write it because we already know. We are him, we just deny it.
My argument isn't that God can't do something because God can and is the only thing that can do everything that can be done. My argument is that projected in human forms, God is limited and that's likely for a reason. How could God express infinitely as one thing? If we all knew we were God, we'd all basically have the same experience. There would literally be nowhere to go, no one to meet and nothing to do. But if God limited itself and added a way of forgetting itself, infinite experience.
This is a cop out, we don't already know which is why people fight over it. If your God is true, he created a world of confusion and he is not intervening and you're creating excuses for it. People have been murdered, genocided, etc over their own definitions of God and your God has not stepped into to eliminate the confusion.
That's why I don't accept the Abrahamic god because the story doesn't make sense. God being the grand architect that created a simulation, and is letting it play out makes MUCH MORE sense. All this hog wash about him talking to people and intervening in stuff in the Old Testament but then disappearing when I have the ability to use my senses to detect this sensation? How convenient.
