Why the secrecy and guess work as to what you consider god?Haha not really. Although probably for those who don’t know what God is
Seems you are starved for attention..

The universe. I thought you would’ve figured it outWhy the secrecy and guess work as to what you consider god?
Seems you are starved for attention..
To them they would be. U said it. I didn’t
Really? I don’t believe you.
No; because according to you, my parents are my God because I consider them great and are grateful for them giving me life. Your definition of God is not consistent with what most people see as God. Again; what is your definition of God?The only god that people all over the world have acknowledged since day 1. Don’t ask me who. I think it’s rather obvious
Hint: The God every adult comes to know in reality after they read about their individual little god in their individual little book from their individual little country.
Baby yoda hahaNo; because according to you, my parents are my God because I consider them great and are grateful for them giving me life. Your definition of God is not consistent with what most people see as God. Again; what is your definition of God?
The universe. I thought you would’ve figured it out
As I said:Baby yoda haha
Because that is not what the Universe is defined as. Even in most religions, the universe is not defined as God.Why not take the next step and call the universe God? Then recognize what God does?
Oh, but we do acknowledge theIt’s not a complaint more of an observation. They don’t really acknowledge the force that has allowed them to exist imo.
We agree that the universe exists.Exist for eternity I might add, but that’s probably for another thread. They call it the universe. They say they’re grateful for the universe. They say the universe is greater than them. That’s all they say. Why not take the next step and call the universe God? Then recognize what God does?
There is strength in disbelief in mythsI just think their view of life is rather weak. Actually, who cares really. hahaha.
Not for all.God is a much abused term that ends up serving human ego, prejudice, and power quite well.
Can you prove that?As an atheist I have to say that there's no human being alive that deserves to wield the power of the God title.
No it doesn't ,you have a choice at first , either to follow it or not.The word God often implies total power and authority over everything and everyone. That is a dangerous power to give any human beings, and is not a power I would entrust to followers of any God.
So the Mother and The Father have no right over their children?Virtues I would consider to be authoritative concepts in my life. However there's no right nor divine right exclusive to any person over another.
Can you define "fair treatment of all life"?A religion without honesty and humility and fair treatment of all life is a cancer on society.
Fair enoughAs a truth seeking atheist I find God to be something I don't take lightly. God is claimed by too many believers with no regard for those who don't subscribe to a God.
God is also often used to show us grace , mercy and forgivness.God is often used to justify tyranny, and oppression.
It depends where you follow it.The history behind the word God in humanity doesn't have a good track record.
Perfected LoveIf there were to be a God worthy of worship what attributes and behaviors would you expect this God to have toward all other life? Answer that!
When i put emotions aside and i read the story of The Bible , it is every oposite of what you said.It seems God and favoritism go hand in hand a lot.
Jesus ChristShow me a God that isn't a tyrant!
Humans wielding God power, what exactly would you do with that?Not for all.
"That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong"
Can you prove that?
A choice between acceptance and eternal doom, great, what can be more tyrannical.No it doesn't ,you have a choice at first , either to follow it or not.
From what you say i can assume that "often" perfectly fits into your conclusion,since you are an atheist.
They have the reasoned right to keep them from harm, and teach them how to live.So the Mother and The Father have no right over their children?
Other species are as alive as humans, yes.Can you define "fair treatment of all life"?
Is it only humans , or other species also?
According to who's moral authority?Fair enough
God is also often used to show us grace , mercy and forgivness.
The earth is not a provision of perfect love.It depends where you follow it.

Perfected Love
Tell that to your other Christians.When i put emotions aside and i read the story of The Bible , it is every oposite of what you said.
Jesus requires faith or eternal doom. Again that is tyrannical.Jesus Christ

Jesus requires faith or eternal doom. Again that is tyrannical.
Why bother asking , when you are not interested?Humans wielding God power, what exactly would you do with that?
It's a choice for sure , how you interpretate is your conclusion.A choice between acceptance and eternal doom, great, what can be more tyrannical.
Nothing else ? you can do better.They have the reasoned right to keep them from harm, and teach them how to live.
So that means we should stop eating meat?Other species are as alive as humans, yes.
According to who's moral authority?
Most of humans persue that kind of love in life.The earth is not a provision of perfect love.
To all the Christians :Tell that to your other Christians.
You didn't ask for any kind of evidence,Why?Jesus requires faith or eternal doom. Again that is tyrannical.
Forbid all forms of advertisement. For starters. Bloody ads.Humans wielding God power, what exactly would you do with that?
A long long time ago, my uncle was into playing this intelectual inquiry game.Humans wielding God power, what exactly would you do with that?
A Borg Sphere then, in that case.When he asked me, I replied I would want a Klingon Bird of Prey.
At the risk of revealing my age...A Borg Sphere then, in that case.
You know what?At the risk of revealing my age...
The Borg had not yet been introduced into the franchise when the conversation with uncle occurred.
