The fact that a human being has to tell you about the existence of God, proves that there is no God. If there were proof that a God exists, you wouldn’t ‘believe’ in it, you’d have ‘knowledge’ of it. You wouldn’t need ‘faith,’ because you’d have ‘facts.’ These facts could then be proven to anyone else. they could be repeated, tested, and demonstrated. What you have, is a fiction that you want to believe. That’s it.
Ah science, the alternative religion; perhaps the old safe than sorry approach; perhaps tradition; perhaps because our concept of “what is it all about anyway” is too self centered given the size and complexity of the universe; or, perhaps because we said so and if your don’t believe exactly what we say, we’ll chop off your head? Last but certainly not least, “from nothing came everything”, and even Einstein concedes that energy and mass are the same thing in different forms so God could be said to be “all power full” (the full spectrum of all wavelengths and amplitudes of energy), and God is rolling the dice just to see what happens. Believe or not believe is based upon our limited understanding of what is or what actually exists and our desire to know certainty about the uncertain. Still love this toon no matter how you believe or not.
The word “god” comes from “gheu” means to “invoke the deity” so everyone has elided it to mean a generic deity name. We even have Goddess, and of course the plural gods. In German, “gudam”, old high German “got”, “gudigaz” possessive by the deity".However it is called Theology from the Greek “theo” which means deity or spirit. Now a “theoi” is a kind of invisible muse which some people seem to get like Socrates who claimed it was with him all of his life.
I know that isn’t how it is been used by the general population and of course the specialists too. Vox popli wins out again. Just a peeve of mine, Godzilla sized these days.
In times of distress, it’s perfectly natural to want to hope that there’s help out there somewhere. If there is, he might get pissy if you only call when you’re in trouble. Now thank him for the lima beans.
