Um- I'm very interested, possibly curious, as to why God should fulfil OUR expectations? Are we not supposed to live up to those of him/her?
Isn't there a conflict regarding the proof or experience of God and what we are told to believe? If everyone knew exactly what they were dealing with, rather than going on whatever we are told by the authority that doesn't live up to its image regarding God, there might be a better image of God and its voice or it's representation.
How many religions are built upon the claim to know God while condemning the shortcomings of false believers?
Next I'll be reading that the God concept is a human construct!
Unless you want to believe that the God concept is implanted in our DNA, then yes all constructs of measure and conceptual imagery are human interpretations based on the human idea and its attachments to reality.
This area of this topic should be transferred--it seems wrong to debate it without Rev!
Because he is the quintessential authority?
Besides, he claims to only dialogue and will never admit to entering a debate, especially concerning God.
He'll only ramble on about how old (er excuse me) how long he has been on the planet knowing what is what and who is who trying to give you the impression that old age means knowledge and wisdom.
He's changed his acronyms and his definitions of God many times since I've known him. For all his years he is still trying to attach himself to an idea that might impress enough people to help him believe he hasn't wasted his time or gone on without some kind of real relationship with whatever he wants to believe in.
Like many his age, he hopes to leave an imprint where nothing is permanent so that life has more meaning than just being born to live for a few experiences of personal belief before you die.
