Can you define your god?

What attributes, physical or otherwise does your god/higher being/ whateves, possess? Is he a man/woman/thing? Is he subjective/objective? What is he?

I would say that Netjer, or Divinity, is the ALL, possessing all attributes, and these attributes are gathered in various facets that we approach as the knowable gods, or Names. Of course this is just the way I view it as a monolator. I could approach it with a few different models(as I am also a Chaote). :)

God's physical, I don't believe in a non-physical nature except for the psycho-system.

God is semi-potent, which means it seems powerful to us, it is extremely powerful, though it is just normal to itself.

God is a scientist of another species, we (including other life forms besides humans in the universe) are its test subjects.

God is nothing like a human and could care less if our nature ends, just like lab mice.

We shouldn't claim to understand God or know what it is, but then again it most likely isn't anything like us, if it was why not look like another earth being? We have millions of species on earth.

Is he a man/woman/thing?

:D

Impartial.

So God has a body?...and you know this how?

More powerful than us ...and apathetic?

And if He is physical...is He also eternal?
most material things change...sometimes altogether.

Will your God.... be God... tomorrow?

I view God as spirit person with great power, a loving father, a great designer and architect, an inventor and as someone who shows great concern for the welfare of his creations. He is a person of deep feeling, compassion, empathy and love...he has a great sense of humor and a strong conviction for righteousness & justice. And he is extremely organized, practical and resourceful.

He's simply amazing in every way imaginable.

Just pretty sure, why does God have to be a spiritual thing of the nonphysical?

More powerful than us ...and apathetic?

Pretty much.

And if He is physical...is He also eternal?

Nope, I doubt that it is eternal.

Will your God.... be God... tomorrow?

Yes... If a hero dies are they not yet a hero? The same works for a God.

Why does "God" have to be One or the other?


Well, the other choices are psychological or emotional, though I'm not sure how a being could be that unless they are fiction, but I don't think it is.



Heh, doubt is eternal.

Doubt doesn't have to be eternal. When we die the doubt no longer rests.

A hero dies a villain to those whom the hero Opposed and conflicted with.

True, but I'm not saying that God is a hero, but to God itself it is not a God. Though if you think God is good, I'm not saying that at all.

Most concepts of "God" conclude with a physical or non-physical representation of what "God" is believed to be.

Sure the psychological and emotional parts are all considered, but it is the doubt that makes conclusion.

Ah, but because of doubt there are four prongs to a fork instead of One, the results should be pretty clear ;)

Jung said in the Phenomenology of the Spirit in Fairy Tales that we typically give our God the attributes of wisdom, typically those of an elder, a grey-haired, breaded older man. He, in other writings, says that our view of God and our relationship with Him is typically the same as that of our own paternal fathers.

God has no attributes, either physical or otherwise. He uses no space and lives in no place. But you see him every day.
