My latest definition of God.

This is an invitation to every human to criticize my latest defintion of God, namely:

"God is the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient."

yrger · 80-89, M
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
I notice that exactly like last time you are ignoring inconvenient comments, you are creating multiple threads within your post so that nobody can keep track of your evasive and irrelevant replies, and I expect that soon you will repeat your nonsense in a whole new post so that you can continue this behaviour on two different posts at the same time.

You are being deceptive, dishonest, and disingenuous.

In short, you’re wasting everyone’s time.

How arrogant!
yrger · 80-89, M
Hi Thodsis, do you know something about the Big Bang, latest news is that scientists acknowledge that the universe has a beginning.

From my part, I draw the implication that God exists, as the the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient.



Thodsis · 46-50, M

Thanks for the invitation. It's an uncommonly generous one.

What is a spirit?

What does 'self-existent' mean?

Is this god a perverse puppeteer?

Thodsis · 51-55, M
@yrger Tell me more.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@yrger
the universe has a beginning

How so?

The universe began expanding 13.7 billion years ago... an event which permitted spacetime. It is therefore meaningless to talk about ‘before’ that event, or to surmise anything about the universe as a singularity.

It is certainly meaningless to say that the Big Bang was the beginning of the universe.
DocSavage · M
@newjaninev2
I get the distinct impression, he isn’t interested in engaging you in this discussion.
yrger · 80-89, M
Hi newjaninev2, you claim that the universe began expanding 13.7 billion years ago.

Suppose you tell me what is your definition of the word universe?


=================





newjaninev2 · 51-55, F
@yrger Hello again...

It is obvious that you’re not even reading my replies

I have repeatedly asked you to specify what it is you claim I am denying, yet you seem incapable of answering that question.

Or perhaps you’re just being wilfully obtuse and deceptive.

Which is it?

I have also shown you that the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation does not show that he universe had a beginning.

It shows that the universe began expanding 13.7 billion years ago.

It does not show that the universe began... but that it began expanding.

Those are different events. Expansion is established, whereas your unsupported claim has not been established.

Do you merely ignore anything that is inconvenient? Do you pretend such inconveniences do not exist?

If so, you obviously re not looking for discussion... perhaps you should find yourself a good echo chamber so you can sit there all day and listen to yourself over and over.

Now, look at the bottom of this comment.

There is a button marked ‘reply’.

Use it.

That will link your response directly to this comment.

That way, we will all be able to track the same conversation.

Unless, of course, you want to keep running away to new threads and causing confusion to hide your inadequacies.
yrger · 80-89, M
Hi everyone, please just reply to this post and concentrate on the question: "whether there has always been some being, instead of no being."

Just answer yes or no, and explain.

If you prefer to evade answering then I will just let you talk but I can't connect with you at all, so what is the purpose of your activity here in my thread?

= = === == = = = = = = = = = = = = =

yrger · 80-89, M
Hi everyone, let us all reply to this post from me, because how you reply will indicate whether you should continue here, or not.

You see if there has not been aways some being at all existing, way way back even before time and space in the material or physical universe appeared, then we don't exist today.

Unless you posit that some being can just spring forth from no being at all, which is a most absurd idea.


So, everyone please answer this issue, otherwise you are irrelevant in this thread.

Hi everyone, what do you say about my post reproduced again below:

yrger · 80-89, M

Hi everyone, let us talk about whether there has always been some being, instead of no being.

From my part, if there has never been some being, how come we are now existing, unless you posit the absurd idea that from no being some being will come forth?
yrger · 80-89, M
Hi newjaninev2, the universe needed to be created because it has a beginning, but "God is the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

newjaninev2 says:

self-existent

By this I assume you mean that your god did not need to be created.

If that claim is in any way valid then it is equally valid to say that the universe did not need to be created... thereby removing any need to even postulate the existence of your god.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@yrger I want you to concentrate... really. really. concentrate.

You said:
the universe has a beginning

and I replied:

The universe began expanding 13.7 billion years ago... an event which permitted spacetime. It is therefore meaningless to talk about ‘before’ that event, or to surmise anything about the universe as a singularity.

It is certainly meaningless to say that the Big Bang was the beginning of the universe.

and your sole response to that was:

The universe needed to be created because it has a beginning

when I’ve just shown you that it didn’t have a beginning
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@yrger I also asked you about your term ’self-existent’

I said: By this I assume you mean that your god did not need to be created.

If that claim is in any way valid then it is equally valid to say that the universe did not need to be created... thereby removing any need to even postulate the existence of your god.

You did not respond to this.

Instead, you merely copied my comment

Perhaps you’d like to respond now?

You do not reply to any of my comments. Why are you so afraid of me?

Stop talking to ‘everyone’.

There is no ‘everyone’

You’re talking to yourself.

You’re interested in your own opinions alone. You’re interested in your own ridiculous ‘definitions’ alone, and you’re wasting everyone’s time for no good purpose.

@yrger Nothing and something both constantly exist and both are constantly changing.

No need to resort to evasion about what your comment is that I am afraid to link up with you on.

Hi Hi newjaninev2, please read intelligently and react, okay?



yrger · 80-89, M
Hi newjaninev2, you are denying that there are spirits in existence, that are not material/physical beings.

Behind the Big Bang there is its cause which is a spirit, namely: God, the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient.

You need a much higher intelligence to know God, than with your science-based intelligence, which is limited to ultimately material/physical particles in time/space.


The European Hadron particle physics laboratory, CERN, the world's biggest atom smasher of 27 kilometer-long circle, it cannot and will not find any particle that will solve the theory of everytning that is material/physical and existing in time/space.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@yrger and yet again you run away to a new thread.

Why don’t you simply respond directly my comment.

Look at the bottom of my comment and you’ll see a ‘reply’ button... use it!

Stop running away and hoping that nobody will notice.

In fact, everybody sees your evasion and your inability to respond in a rational, germane, and meaningful manner.

Here it is again:

you are denying that...

Where am I denying anything?

Point that out to me... quote my words

Now address my comment

I notice you have started a new thread in order to run away from my comment.

Not good enough... address my comment (or run away again)

In case you have forgotten, my comment was:

How can anything exist ‘before’ spacetime?

That simply doesn’t make sense... it’s like saying ‘before the Big Bang’
yrger · 80-89, M
Hi Thodsis.

Here are my answers to your questions:


What is a spirit? A spirit is a being that is not material or physical, it is not subject to measurements.

What does 'self-existent' mean? Self-existent means that a being is not dependent on another being for its existence or reality

Is this god a perverse puppeteer? No, God is not a perverse puppeteer.



Thodsis · 46-50, M

Thanks for the invitation. It's an uncommonly generous one.

What does 'self-existent' mean?

Is this god a perverse puppeteer?

Thodsis · 51-55, M
@yrger I'm self existent in a Cartesian manner. But I don't regard myself as a god.

I don't think your definition of a spirit really amounts to anything. I could say that about a dream.

Let's leave the 'God as an arsehole' bit to human history. :)

Hi atheists here, see, you have no intellectual courage at all.

You should imitate Richard Dawkins who have the intllectual courage to take on God, but not you small-time atheists.

You small-time atheists find a safe asylum in message boards.

And even in message boards you have no intellectual courage and resources to start a thread on no God.


See what small-time atheists you guys are, afraid to start a thread on no God, then you will face me there, instead of nonsense talks in my thread where you are just into fallacious utterances and thinking yourselves smart.


And running away all the time, to face such as a question as "Has there always been some being or not."



Hi readers, see if these athests here dare to start their own thread on no God, and I will be there to turn them upside down for no intellectual depth and much less courage of heart and mind, i.e. no brain but only dyspeptic guts.
Entwistle · 56-60, M
@yrger You need to seek help. There's obviously something wrong with you.
DocSavage · M
How is this different from your last definition ?
You still have no evidence to support it.
My definition of god hasn’t changed either. God is whatever set things in motion. Without any conciseness, self awareness, or perpetual existence. It just has to tip over that first domino, nothing else.
Thodsis · 51-55, M
@DocSavage Come join the conversation. It's wonderfully circular. :)

@yrger I see you have once again jumped across threads in a desperate attempt to conceal the simple reality that you have no answer to my comments.

Here’s the comment again... please respond to it in a rational, germane, and meaningful manner.

Hi Entwistle, don't evade my challenge to you, are you acquainted with the cosmic background microwave radiation?


I have already penetrated your falacious way of thinking and reacting to my challenges, namely, you always deny my categorical positions and then introduce another issue, that is not any way to do productive dialogue, so tell me, what is the cosmic microwave background radiation?

Start reading i.e. researching on the cosmic microwave background radiation, and be ready to expound on it in at most only 100 words, otherwise you are a most insincere party in any dialogue.




=================

Entwistle · 51-55, M
@yrger No it doesn't.
You are making up fairy stories about sports and the spirit realm.
Nothing is eternal.
Here's a question for you..Could your god kill itself?
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@yrger Just out of interest (to relieve the boredom of your turgid prose)... do you think the Big Bang was when the universe began?
Entwistle · 56-60, M
@yrger I knew you would avoid my question.
Here's one last chance to answer it.
Can your god kill itself?
yrger · 80-89, M
Hi Thodsis, I guess there is no sense with having a productive exchange with you, as I see you to be rather attached to irrational anger.

Are you an atheist?

They are atheists who can and do explain why God is not needed - without resorting to impolite language.




Thodsis · 46-50, M

@yrger I'm self existent in a Cartesian manner. But I don't regard myself as a god.

I don't think your definition of a spirit really amounts to anything. I could say that about a dream.

Let's leave the 'God as an arsehole' bit to human history. :)

Thodsis · 51-55, M
@yrger We could have a rational exchange of thoughts.

I'll rephrase 'arsehole' as 'not a nice character' if you wish to continue.

I prefer the word 'atheist' as a descriptive term rather than an identity.

I don't think unicorns are real but don't want to be called an anunicornist.

Why do you think that gods are needed?
yrger · 80-89, M
Hi Thodsis, You ask me "Why do you think that gods are needed?"

Not gods, but only one, namely as thus defined: "God is the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient."

But tell me what you know about the universe having a beginning.
Thodsis · 51-55, M
@yrger Before we have fun talking about this could you tell me if you are a fan of a deist god or a theist one?
yrger · 80-89, M
Hi Entwistle, you really insist on your idea of labels?

Do you have a wife and children, what are they, also labels in your mind. Mind you, your wife might not want to make love with the label that is you.

You are getting totally absurd.

I can imagine that with your kind of labelism, you had better not be driving a car, and then running over some poor guy carelessly crossing the street, would you still continue driving instead of bringing the poor guy to the hospital?



==============

Entwistle · 51-55, M
@yrger A bullet is just a label too. What would you have called it before you were told it's called a bullet?
A bullet is also just a collection of other things. As is the brain.
Entwistle · 56-60, M
@yrger As usual you are failing to understand what is being said.
Do you not agree that things are labelled by the mind?

Hi Entwistle, I need you to give me your observation on newjaninev2's losing her tongue and her brain.

Previously she was full of confidence that the universe is all there is, but I ask her for her definition of universe which according to her started to begin expanding 13.7 billion years ago.

And you know what, she got all lost and went into total silence.

How very disappointing.

What is happening to you, newjaninev2?

You lost your tongue or your brain?


I reckon you lost both, tongue and brain.





yrger · 80-89, M

Addressing newjaninev2:

You have not replied to my question:

Did the universe expand from nothingness or from somethingness?

===================



yrger · 80-89, M
Hi newjaninev2, you say:

" . . . the universe began expanding 13.7 billion years ago."

Did it expand from nothingness or from somethingness?
yrger · 80-89, M
Hi Entwistle, what can you say about the point of ewjaninev2, if she has one at all.

My point is that previously I was of the idea that the universe is all there is, and it includes God, then I realized that God is not a part of the universe because the universe is physical/material, while God is spiritual.

That is why I now have this what I call the latest definition of God, namely:

"God is the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient."
Entwistle · 56-60, M
@yrger I trust what Newjanine has to say any day over what you have to say.
Your god exists only as a thought.
Spirit is an idea also. There's no proof of any spirit existing anywhere.
What proof do you have that anything made of spirit exists?
You seem to believe a lot of things you can't see or be verified exist.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@yrger
God is not a part of the universe

So we can ignore it? That’s what I thought 😂
yrger · 80-89, M

So, no, I’m not going to thread-jump for you.

Stand your ground, or leave the field.
yrger · 80-89, M

Hi Entwistle, I am so glad that you in effect agree with me that there has always been some being, even before time ad space appeared in the physical/material world.

Hi newjaninev2, what exactly are you into, the existence of God according to my latest definition, which is the following:

God is the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient.

Or you want to everlastingly insist that I am afraid to face you on your comments etc etc etc. . . .


I am telling you that God belongs to the realm of spirits, not to the material/physical universe - and He created and operates man, the universe, and everything transient.

Hi Entwistle, you say the pebble is just a label the mind creates.

What about a bullet?


Yout intelligence is deficient, and it can kill you if you continue to insist that things like pebbles and bullets are just in your mind, now what about the brain that is the organ of the mind, is it also just a label in a mind, and mind you, whose mind?

From my part I woud propose the mind of God.


= = = = = = = = = =

Entwistle · 51-55, M

A bullet is also just a collection of other things. As is the brain.

Hi Entwistle, I used to define God as "God is the permanent self-existent creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient."

On more mature thinking about the kinds of beings that are really existing, I have revised my previous definition of God into the latest one, namely: "God is the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient."


You see, there are in fact two kinds of beings, namely: (a) spiritual beings, and (b) material or physical beings.




Entwistle · 51-55, M

The fact that you say your 'latest' definition of God says a lot about you.
Why don't you have an unchanging definition of something you believe to be permanent?

Hi everyone, please react to my repeated post below.

Hi everyone, what do you say about my post reproduced again below:

yrger · 80-89, M

Hi everyone, let us talk about whether there has always been some being, instead of no being.

From my part, if there has never been some being, how come we are now existing, unless you posit the absurd idea that from no being some being will come forth?
Entwistle · 56-60, M
@yrger Where were you 100 years ago? Nowhere,and now you are here..your parents created you..
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@yrger I notice that exactly like last time you are ignoring inconvenient comments, you are creating multiple threads within your post so that nobody can keep track of your evasive and irrelevant replies, and I expect that soon you will repeat your nonsense in a whole new post so that you can continue this behaviour on two different posts at the same time.

You are being deceptive, dishonest, and disingenuous.

In short, you’re wasting everyone’s time.

How arrogant!
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@yrger
let us talk about...

You have a strange and deceptive view of what constitutes a discussion

Apparently it means that you will make wild claims and unsupported statements, but will not respond to anyone else’s comments

I also asked you about your term ’self-existent’

I said: By this I assume you mean that your god did not need to be created.

If that claim is in any way valid then it is equally valid to say that the universe did not need to be created... thereby removing any need to even postulate the existence of your god.

You did not respond to this.

Instead, you merely copied my comment

Perhaps you’d like to respond now?
yrger · 80-89, M
Hi everyone, please take careful notice of my two definitions of God as follow below:

My previous definition:
"God is the permanent self-existent container of all things, creator and operator of man and the universe and everything that is not God Himself."

My latest definition:
"God is the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient."

Do you all notice the difference, if you do, tell me what is the difference.

Hi Entwistle, there is a distinction between the physical/material (p/m) realm and the spiritual (sp) realm.

The (p/m) is composed of parts like the say composition of a pebble, while the (sp) is not composed of parts, like God and angels.

Now I ask you, where do the parts of the (p/m) come from?

And what being put them together as to become a say pebble?
Entwistle · 56-60, M
@yrger Nobody puts parts together to make a pebble. The parts and the pebble are just labels your mind creates.
Entwistle · 56-60, M
@yrger You say the spiritual plain is not composed of parts then continue to mention different parts of it line god and angels. You dope!
What put the parts of a pebble together? Time and circumstance,causation, chemistry.

Hi everyone, in my location on earth, today is Saturday December 24, 2022, and tomorrow is Sunday and Christmas Day.

So I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

And all these Christmas festivities are due to the reality of God, the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient.
Entwistle · 56-60, M
@yrger Nothing is permanent.

Hi newjaninev2, you have not defined what is the universe.

And also I wll now ask you likewise define what is the Big Bang.


We have got to agree on definitions, else you and I are wasting our time and labor.

@yrger Just out of interest (to relieve the boredom of your turgid prose)... do you think the Big Bang was when the universe began?

@yrger It is obvious that you’re not even reading my replies

I have repeatedly asked you to specify what it is you claim I am denying, yet you seem incapable of answering that question.

Or perhaps you’re just being wilfully obtuse and deceptive.

Which is it?

I have also shown you that the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation does not show that he universe had a beginning.

It shows that the universe began expanding 13.7 billion years ago.

It does not show that the universe began... but that it began expanding.

Those are different events. Expansion is established, whereas your unsupported claim has not been established.

Do you merely ignore anything that is inconvenient? Do you pretend such inconveniences do not exist?

If so, you obviously re not looking for discussion... perhaps you should find yourself a good echo chamber so you can sit there all day and listen to yourself over and over.

Now, look at the bottom of this comment.

There is a button marked ‘reply’.

Use it.

That will link your response directly to this comment.

That way, we will all be able to track the same conversation.

Unless, of course, you want to keep running away to new threads and causing confusion to hide your inadequacies.

Hi TheoreticSkeptic, here is my definition of spirit:

Spirit is a being that is not physical or material, it is not bounded by measurements, there are spirits like God and angels.

Here is my definition of God where I mention God as a spirit:

"God is the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient."
yrger · 80-89, M
Hi newjaninev2, youkeep on and on about you not denying anything, what about you tell me what you are alleging anything at all.

Like that the universe is all there is of existence?

But the cosmic bacground microwave radiation shows that the universe has a beginning: there, it ain't all there is to existence.

Hi Entwistle, there has always been existence even before you and I come into existence.


And God is the only permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man, the universe and everything transient.

If nothing is permanent, then you would not be writing here in this my thread on my latest definition of God.

Didn’t you know that?

Really?

Plus, note that I have been courteous and thoughtful enough to use the ‘reply’ button beneath your comment, so that the thread stays connected.

I do this because I am not deceptive, duplicitous, or disingenuous.

If you are deceptive, duplicitous, or disingenuous, then I suppose you will continue to run away from me by starting every response in anew thread.

I can’t do anything about that, but it shows everybody here that you are simply wasting everyone’s time by being deceptive, duplicitous, and disingenuous
yrger · 80-89, M
Hi Entwistle, this is a Christian thread, so I will not interact with you here because you are into Buddhism.

However, as you I figure were some sort of Christian before, then actuate yourself as a sort of Christian, namely: knowing that God exists and He is the creator and operator of everything that is not Himself.



Entwistle · 51-55, M

Nothing is permanent,not even your imaginary god. Your image of him is changing all the time.

All of his babble is about him, his need for attention, and his insecurities about his god.
Convivial · 26-30, F
@newjaninev2 i often wonder who is the more insecure, the god requiring constant devotions or the devotee 🤔
@Convivial maybe you could find your answer if you can figure out if a parent is more insecure than the devoted child

the absurd idea that from no being some being will come forth

Like your god, for example?

Yes, I agree... it is an absurd and unnecessary idea that your god just popped into existence from nothing.

So the question then becomes... who created your god?

Hi Emosaur, here is my latest definition of God:

"God is the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient."

Tell me, what is your definition of the Abrahamic god?



Emosaur · 22-25, M

This isn't the definition of God (the Abrahamic god), but your personal idea of a deistic god. I've pointed this out before yet you keep conflating the two...

I'm not even going to ask you what the term god actually means. Rather than go for the obvious assumptions being made of permanence and existence, or the brazen self creation of that which is without creation, I'm going to ask instead for a simple definition. Define spirit.
