I challenge all Protestants

[JGL53]

So, your god has no name. How do you call him?
If a center is everywhere, then is there a "center" of the center?
What's in the center of your god?

Hey, don't get excited. I respect your god. I just want to know more about him.

Firstly, he is not a he as opposed to a she, or a it. God is more so transpersonal.

I don't know if I am cut out to be an actual teacher. In any case I don't feel like providing a three-hour credit course on god for you today. Also, you strike me as being analogous to the smarty-pants child who always asks the series of the never-ending "Why?"

Let's do this. Google the word "monism".

You will get 699,000 hits.

Knock yourself out. Study up for a few hours. You obviously have nothing better to do. Then come back and hopefully pose some more sophisticated questions than you are able to manage now.

It's down like Janis Joplin. Can't get down (er) than that!

All the Brethren ladies, let your hair down (er)

This kind of response is what I usually get when I asked people about their god or gods. This consequence further convinces me that Christian theology is far far more superior. As a Christian, I can certainly, absolutely deal with your nested why and why questions. I do not need three hours. I just need a few lines of words.

If you have a god, you certainly do not know (him, her, it?).

What do you mean by "know"?

 

[juvenissun]

What do you mean by "know"?

Which includes: knowing the name (and the gender?) of your god.
Of course, and others, such as what is at the center of your god. etc.

LOL - if you associate god with a gender then, what - you think the Iliad and the Odyssey were historically accurate? You think god the father and god the son are meant literally? If so then "Where de white women?"

And, continuing, you likewise take the word "center" radically literally, as in the center of a Hostess Cup Cake is a gooey white cream?

Well, juvenissun, you are too special for me. I am more so rather ordinary - apparently. I live UNDER the rainbow where the cherubs never venture and mirrors are just mirrors.

Good luck there on your path less taken.

Apparently you know nothing about your god, if you ever have one.
I don't think you believe in any god. Why don't you simply say you are an atheist? Are you shamed to be one?

When it comes to theism I am a non-theist, or an atheist if you prefer. That is nothing to be proud or ashamed of, it is just a statement of fact.

The theistic definition of god is not the only definition. It may be the way you define it. What's that to me? You think this is some sort of game where YOU make the rules? Guess again, juve.

So yeah, this thread is super productive - go znr ...

Should it be deleted? I vote YES
