Is God bound by any law?

If God created everything in the Universe and Multiverse, if such a thing exists,God is above all laws, reasons, and definitions, right?

So, if God chooses to abolish hell and heaven, what stands in His way? Can we complain if He decides there is no right or wrong?

Is there anything that can stop Him from taking the form of a child, a person, a bird, or a mountain?

So, why do we assume so much aboutGod? We haven't seen Him in any case.

So why does the world make such grand claims about what He can or cannot do, what He is or is not?

It makes no sense.

"It makes no sense!" The reason it makes no sense is that people do assign tasks to God.... "God will do this"; "If you are bad, God will do that" and so on. That is a supposition that our minds (our superego - in Freudian terms) made up to keep society running more or less smoothly. We are social animals so we must live in some sort of harmony and 'fearing' other peoples' opinions of us does that.
What if 'We' are an experiment that God created for his own pleasure? The book of Genesis hints at that. What if He put us here to see what we would do to each other and for each other over a certain span of time (changing the characters through death so none becomes too influential)? Is there a purpose to this? Yes: God (through his Son, Jesus) told us that we would be judged for our faithfulness (doing good instead of bad things) to Jesus' teachings. So....a spirit is in each of us and that spirit is a 'free-agent' to do good or bad without interference from God - The 'catch' is in the after-life when we are called to account for our deeds = which, if our spirit (soul) was good, we are promised our spirit will live on in another dimension which some people call 'Heaven" and if we are not worthy, then our spirit will simply die (although some people put our spirit in a 'Hell' - more of that 'fear' guidance).

@JollyRoger you cannot assign tasks to a myth

@MasterLee I find it interesting that you call "God" a myth! I suspect you have no appreciation for mastery of art or any other human endeavour? - for if you do then you would realize that humans are endowed with special abilities - some of which are inate talents. How would these talents come about if we are a 'cookie-cutter' copy of each other - which is what evolution (only) would suggest - adapting only to our immediate environment instead of enhancing it. Look for the beauty in life and that in the world you look out upon and WONDER! And. as you wonder, let your arrogance loose its grip on you. You have no more right to say that God is a myth than I have to say that I have Him here in my hand.

@JollyRoger you assume incorrectly

JollyRoger · 70-79, M

@MasterLee Ok... so I'm wrong? Please tell me more so I can understand you better.

@MasterLee

Quite the assumption. What does this have to do with your mythical 'god'?

for if you do then you would realize that humans are endowed with special abilities - some of which are inate talents.

again has nothing to do with your myth...

How would these talents come about if we are a 'cookie-cutter' copy of each other - which is what evolution (only) would suggest - adapting only to our immediate environment instead of enhancing it.

Evolution is not "cookie cutter". It merges cells from two sources and creates a unique organism.

Look for the beauty in life and that in the world you look out upon and WONDER!

Still doesn't suggest any connection to a myth...

You have no more right to say that God is a myth than I have to say that I have Him here in my hand.

In fact I have every right. Your opinion doesn't sway me.
