is it weird

[janesix]

that I don't think that God is a creator? That the universe is a natural phenomenon,and God is a higher consciousness,a part of the universe?

You believe in a created god. This is indeed a weird, foreign concept to most monotheisms, but not to polytheisms.

I don't think it is possible for the energy which I believe is needed for anything created to be a natural phenomenon. So, I believe that God is more than the universe. A Creator of it all? I do not know.

I don't understand. I think @janesix has said that she doesn't believe.

why don't you think energy is a natural phenomenon? or am I misunderstanding you?

She believes in a god, just not a creator god. Her opening sentence says as much.

I don't believe anything is created.

 

[Rival]

I don't believe anything is created.

So you believe everything is a product of something that always was?

Yes.

I can't wrap my brain around what some people believe which is that energy either always existed (but, from what?) or that it popped into existence for some reason or other or no reason. So, God is either energy with what appears to be a mind or that God, A Mind, made it.

That is what I said! LOL I love you!

So how did God create energy?

 

[savagewind]

Oh! Now, I see.

It is an "ed". I read, "or". @Rival

I must have misread your first question to me. I guess I really am unfamiliar with the concept of nothing being created. It's so foreign to me.

 

[savagewind]

Um. I love this place so much! OK. If I knew that, would I be me, here, and em.....and not somewhere else much more amazing?

Why do you think things are created?

Not at all, thought I'm having difficulty understanding why you asked. If the consensus is that it is weird to believe as such, would that change your belief?

 

[savagewind]

I do not know how God does anything. But, the Bible seems to teach somewhere that God uses love to do it. I have nothing. No proof for much of anything, really.

 

[Rival]

I believe in a creator G-d.

No. But I don't think I've met anyone who shares my belief.
