Best Admin: jrgp, he's like the forum mom and a pet dog rolled into one.
Also, if you don't believe in God but you imagine that one does exist what would it nature would it have to be like?
The Bible (my source for anything pertaining to God) only mentions God ever begetting one thing: Jesus. The Son requires the Father to exist, yet the two are still the same thing.*To a large extent, the Christian God is very transcendent; obviously, we'll never be able to completely understand him, and any true god would have to be significantly removed from the universe - unhindered by the limitations of space or time. **God come into us to do what he wants. ***Why does God have any reason to treat humans differently from any other creation unless he designed them the way they are now? A painter takes pride in his painting; he does not take pride in a canvas that he spilled paint on. ****There's one more thing that I want to touch on that is closely related to what God is: morality. *****So, to sum things up, God is visible in everything, but he is not everything. God transcends reality, but he's also deeply intertwined with it. God defines morality ******

* You're mistaken; I believe in Biblical Christianity, and Jesus is a pretty big part of that. In fact, without Jesus there is no Christianity.
** UNhindered. Read it again.
any true god would have to be significantly removed from the universe - unhindered by the limitations of space or time.
*** Why not? He's the supreme creator of the universe; he knows what's best for everyone and everything. Why would you want to go against that?
**** I'm not saying that at all. But humans can have the desire to be perfect, to do what's best. Animals just exist, acting on instinct.
***** "Though shalt not enslave Africans" falls under the much more general "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." But you've brought up a concept that's worth looking at: human rights. Why do humans have rights? Why is slavery wrong? Why is it okay to eat animals but not humans? At some level, everyone believes that humans have rights, not because of anything they've done, but simply because they're human.
You've fallen into a common trap: believing that society determines morality, rather than understanding that morality is just manifested in society.
****** Perhaps, but order and beauty and perfection are all aspects of God, too (at least any god someone would want to worship).
I don't believe in God nor do I believe in the load of BS known as "the big bang theory".Seriously: The only reason people believe in god and make up dumb theories like that is a method of explaining the unknown.
mangled. are you 12? you have a mentality close to that of my little sister
This implies that God would be hindered by space and time if he was not "significantly removed" from the universe. Which is essentially what I said. Try to read more carefully.

Let's not try to steer the point away from where it was going. The african slave trade was almost entirely down to the British empire who were, how can I say, severely Christian. The American plantation owners were also Christian. Where are these morals coming from?
I stopped reading here because that is the most stupid thing I have read in quite a few weeks. Go read a Stephen Hawking book.
Brock you obviously don't know anything about the big bang theory. Please read this before saying anything more.
mangled. are you 12? you have a mentality close to that of my little sisteryoure just arguing for the sake of arguing. and it also looks like youre a high school production line athiest. grow up, for your own sake. believe what you believe out of what you see, not whatever someone convinces you is right. ltkillroy has the right idea and so does brock, almost.

I'm sort of in the middle. I've always thought that we were the puppet of his, so he never gets bored because of our lust, gluttony, envy, pride, wraith, sloth, and greed.
I do believe in god. I think that when you die, you come out of your body instantaneously. You can see everything, do anything you want, but no one will see you.
