We have very different ideas of the universe, I presume. From origin, I do not believe that the universe came from somewhere, but that it has existed. I also do not believe that something could have created it, as the universe has no beginning.

It is contradictory.

@FUI-FUI there is not creation or destruction of energy. Only uses

Exactly. Hence, nothing could create it

Yep :)

This is what i was kind reffering to yesterday

Then how, I ask, could God have brought it into existence?

I was not active yesterday.

God is the universe.

Is God conscious?

I was high yesterday

Yes

In a vague sense

Is he conscience in the way that humans are aware of our surroundings, or conscience in the way that he draws the universes and powers the physics behind our world?

where has god been this whole time? Out of the millions of years he’s been around, the only time we’ve seen him is during the old-new testament era.

*billions

And that’s just based off a book

we’re supposed to believe

Yes my bad

A book based on human's interpretation of God.

Made by humans

Precisely.

Yep

You concur to what exactly?

It is a very earthly point of view. People with our human brains have limited comprehension

The posts i put emotes on

Our method of thinking is grounded on Earth. Our human minds are, indeed, limited to what they can do, and understand. But what we do understand and what the universe is and what we believe are fundamentally different. No matter how much you wish to believe something, it may not concur with your beliefs. I reject the notion of a God, based on my interpretation of the laws of physics as the mechanisms that drive the universe. Nothing could have come before the universe, not time or any foreign being.

That is why determinitsm and free will both have merit. They are both true but not complete.

I like the idea that the Universe is God. I've had a similar idea before, until I abandoned the notion of God altogether.

I think that predestination and free will are incompatible together.

Physics and natural law are the determined part whereas we have free will to act within those boundries

I like that idea. But free will does not exist on its own. Something has to determine what gives us the mentality and comprehension of free will. Hormones, chemical receptors, etc. They are constituents and components that determine the activity in your brain and what your brain does. That is not free will to me if I do not choose what my brain does.

GG @Wolfgang Amadeus Yurmom's art, you just advanced to level 2!

Im glad someone else understands... So why are you authoritarian?

I want to be authority.

Same

I believe that a democracy is a slow government. And without proper education, it should not be employed to common people. Although, I do not like the idea of an oligarchy or aristocracy.

Authority of what?

Pure, raw authority. Not limited authority, or delegated authority, but authority. Authority of Government.

So, dictatorship?

Sounds based
