Pantheist
If your religion, faith, devotion, or self proclaimed spirituality is not directly leading to an increase in kindness, empathy, compassion and tolerance for others then you have been misled.

I can't decide wheater or not god does exist.
And if god exists - what is it?

It is simply the expression of everything?
Is it the creative force of the universe unfolding?

Or maybe I'm just rambling tablespoons out of my ass.

Well who knows,


Very happy

How so, Cellux?Wut? Smile
I am paranoid of my brain. It thinks all the time, even when I'm asleep. My thoughts assail me. Murderous lechers they are. Thought is the assassin of thought. Like a man stabbing himself with one hand while the other hand tries to stop the blade. Like an explosion that destroys the detonator. I am paranoid of my brain. It makes me unsettled and ill at ease. Makes me chase my tail, freezes my eyes and shuts me down. Watches me. Eats my head. It destroys me.

yes: because he invoked it and drives it

no: because the verb "exists" cannot be applied to him, as it can be to the things of creation (only that exists which is a creation of God, therefore God does not exist)

To me, the existence of God is of a completely different kind than what we usually call existence in the material sense. I sometimes grasp God as information, an organizing principle which drives and informs the evolutionary process. There is a series of open-ups or spikes in the history of humankind where certain individuals "contact God" and see how it works. These individuals get into biologically foreordained brainstates which bring the potential God into actual manifestation in the mindspace of a human being. There is no independent existence of God, it only exists through its creation, through a possibility which was hidden by him in the world to ensure its eventual reawakening.
