this thread has gone seriously off topic and I'm still confused
Except, Clyde Winters' words on Jesus' TRUE INTENT (as opposed to the DOCTRINES introduced by Paul the so-called apostle)was very inspiring. I lashed out at some fundamentalist pentecostal Nigerian Christians (who also happen to be members of my family) on Facebook yesterday and they just couldn't come back with anything. I disqualified them with LOGIC. Posts: 3423 | From: the jungle - when y'all stop playing games, call me. | Registered: Jul 2006

Exactly.
All the big questions are unanswerable and everytime we learn more there is increasing evidence these questions will always be unanswerable.
The little questions are unanswerable as well but this is far less apparent.
All we really have are our senses and a far too short lifespan. We might as well try to make the most of these gifts and enjoy our stay. When we shuffle off the mortal coil we'll mostly be remembered for how we treated other people. If more people lived accordingly it might be a more pleasant world.
If you want to believe in science or religion that's mostly OK but when that belief starts stacking the bodies like cordwood we should ask ourselves if our God(s) would really approve or what physical law says that some people should be murdered.

Nay-sayer asks: My question is: ''WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK ABOUT THIS BOOK'S PROPOSITION THAT THE CREATOR CONCEPT IS A DELUSION???''
Retrace your steps and you will discover this has already been discussed.
However, if one subscribes to this:
''From my point of view both Athiests and Theists are both full of shi'ite...''
...then there will have been no need to even start the topic. With this conversation-stifling attitude all that needed be done is, yes they are full of it or no they are not, in a simple poll form.This way an answer would have been provided to suit everyone, or nearly everyone; plus it would have been easily seen there was no substance to the topic to begin with under that format.

...and Horus said:
''Nay-Sayer didn't ask that question. I did.''
I was aware of this since quoted blocks were used but decided not to look on the other page for the original quote for correction. Since Nay-Sayer used Horus' comment in the form of a question to preface his comments my motivation was the same in replying to Nay-Sayer.

Faith is just that, faith, it cannot be shown to be true or false, we believe what suits us, and there are a great many beliefs to choose from. We can even construct our own personal belief.

Whenever a topic begins with asking the question of whether a Supreme Being exists, it is naturally going to be confronted from a scientific standpoint and/or a theological one. Hence, the discourse inevitably takes the form of alternating back and forth exchanges from a scientific perspective and theological perspective. It all comes down to when the Universe began, how it began, and thereof life on earth; these are the questions that both science and theology ultimately seek to answer. Clearly, this is what's happening here, and once it's understood, one absolves oneself from confusion.

quote:
If you haven't met the Most High/Allah/E-loh/Y`hwah personally then you can't say anything that would make me truly believe you. In the ancient days according to Grecian documentation of so-called Hebrew scriptures the Most High always showed himself to the people ... Why did he stop now? Do you have a so-called logical explanation for me? Absolutely not! You will say that man is being punished for their evil doings and the Most High cannot look upon evil in its purest form yet the Most High created all things which basically mean he cannot look up its own creation ... lol B/S!!!!
First of all no one has ever met the Creator. Moses saw him in the form of a firey bush. The other prophets only recieved information via Angels, i.e., Gabriel, Ariel and etc. So even if someone told you they had spoken to the Creator you probably wouldn't believe them unless you wanted to believe.
Everything is ying and yang. As a result, your role in life may be the skeptic searcher.
You appear to want someone to provide you with some evidence of a Creator--which is impossible if you are not meant to belief. Remember the Creator could make everyone belief if he saw fit. Instead , S/He allows you to choose.
You have not read what I have written. I said that the Creator punishes no one, because we are only probably playing a role in his Great Book. You probably go to the Movies and have a favorite genre.
The people in the films are play acting but it appears Oh so real. Our life on earth is just as intense.
If we are playing a role in the Great Book, this is all illusion just like the movies we see at the threatre. Therefore what we see as evil is only such due to our ideas about good and bad. Ideas which were partially scripted by the Creator, who allows us the free will to make the scene materialize anyway we see fit.
You only expect punishment from the Creator if you belong to a religious group. It is the leader of your group and co-religiousionists who propagate this reality of punishment.
Many people today no longer believe in a religion. They don't go to temple, mosque or church but--they are good people who treat their neighbor as they would want themselves to be treated and have strong faith in a Creator.
It is the people who belong to religions that are fighting. In many conflicts the combatants belong to different sects of the same religion,e.g., Shia against Sunni in Iran. In the U.S., the Catholics don't like the Baptist, and both groups dispise Jehovah Witnesses.
The only slaves you find are people who believ in religions. People who are enslaved by religions do this on their own. They invent dogmas which have no basis in fact but sound great because it allows the individual to feel part of a group, and nurtures the individual's ego through the belief that the follower of a specific religion is better than members of another religion, and the nonbeliever.
The belief in a Creator makes no one a slave. It is belief in a religion and becoming a member of a group that enslaves you.
.
Actually after rereading your post I found it a very good post ...
My bad ... bad interpretation on my part ... I regress!

Thanks for this Mystery Solver. I find that as time passes, my understanding of these things deepen. I found a video on youtube that throws light on what you said:

There is no objective scientific evidence for the existence of any God. However science is not advanced enough to rule out God completely.

There is no almighty God, that is a concept that has been extrapolated from ancestor and celestial body worship. Anyone that ascribes to the existence of a God has been conditioned by these misinterpretations through out history.
I think it is humorous how the people on this board act like they are scientists, but then believe in a God. A stalemate statement like "science can't disprove God" only goes into the category of the status quo...which would be the belief in a God for the government to control you and leave you helpless and blind.

^ The belief in God while for the most part being derived from older religious traditions is a personal belief that is moreso based on an individual's spiritual beliefs or rather beliefs in the existence of a spirit(s).
I'm not actually a religious person, but let's say I am open to the idea of a higher power or consciousness. Science is a tool for understanding the universe, but let's be honest we don't know or understand everything in the cosmos yet if we even can.

Naga Def Wolofi says: ''There is no almighty God, that is a concept that has been extrapolated from ancestor and celestial body worship.''
So how did the extrapolation form itself around the ancestors so much so that it persists to this day? You way out is much to fast, meaning you must have some proof there is no deity given the nature or your specific comment. Your belief leaves you stranded just like everyone else who is curious about it.
''I think it is humorous how the people on this board act like they are scientists, but then believe in a God.''
My issue isn't whether scientists, or some scientists, will be atheistic, that's just another human perception. Mine is how can Naga Def Wolofi allow himself to be hamstrung by a belief he doesn't know to be true either, that is, the non-existence of a Deity.
''A stalemate statement like "science can't disprove God" only goes into the category of the status quo...which would be the belief in a God for the government to control you and leave you helpless and blind.''
Which geographical area of the world are you referring to and how would that government control someone who has a belief in God in the sense they would be ''helpless and blind''? Keep in mind I'm not talking about an individual, or some individuals' strict adherence to religion brought on by themselves in many cases.
''Ignorance of the universe does not justify ignorance of how a God concept came into existence in human history.''
So Naga Def Wolofi says those who accept a Deity shouldn't have arrived at their conclusion because of their ignorance of the universe? I confess ignorance here. How are they related?
''I can't stand people that say "I am not religious, but I am spiritual''
I have questioned spirituality myself, and still do, since the brain is a very complex piece of equipment. Yet someone's spirituality is their truth, not mine. It isn't mine because I don't know it. Having said that why should the concept of spirituality upset you, other than the fact it, well, does (details). A lot of people don't see the need for denominational acceptance but feel in tune with themselves to such a degree they call it spiritual.
''that is just an ignorant cop out really.''
With regards to what?

It's called law and government reprimand and propaganda. Wars, Swords, Guns, Imperialization, religious books do I need to go on? Why do people still believe in Santa Claus; myths last as long as they are continued to be built by those who have power and interest in them?

This is actually a good question. I am referring to Christians and Muslims considering that 5 out of 6 billion people believe in this one deity from the two religion's books. They all believe due to violence and government and if you trace their family history back no matter how far back it goes they were forced to convert one way or another.

All religions have the same basic ingredients, with local variations. Laws are introduced in order to control the population. These laws come from a higher authority that can not be challenged because they come from a source beyond the reach, or question, of man. It keeps the population in check - follow the 'law' or be punished, obey and be rewarded, though not in this life of course which we admit is pretty horrible, but after you die and go to paradise. So go back to your grubby hovel, scratch a living from the dirt, bury your dead and don't bother us again with your stupid questions.
All religion is nothing more than an attempt to control a population by enforcing 'laws' that come from a higher authority that is beyond challenge, It is used as an extremely powerful tool to keep people 'in line'. It is particularly useful in circumstances where the population are under duress, be it poverty, starvation, tyranny. whatever, because then the powers that rule will assure you that you must accept your lot, lead a good life, don't rock the boat and cause any trouble, and you will be rewarded in the next life. The more you apply cold logic to it, the more senseless and totally meaningless the whole charade becomes, except as a means of control.
It can be no coincidence that the countries that have the poorest populations also have strongest and harshest religions.
It is of course just as impossible for me to prove that all religions are false as it is for believers to prove that religions are true.

When Nag Def Wolofi says to me: ''Now I will ask you to present evidence of a God, now of course you CAN'T present evidence of a God because there isn't one!!! So was that too hard?!?!''
Then he uses this, from me:
''My issue isn't whether scientists, or some scientists, will be atheistic, that's just another human perception. Mine is how can Naga Def Wolofi allow himself to be hamstrung by a belief he doesn't know to be true either, that is, the non-existence of a Deity.''
To say:
''Positive claims warrant the burden of proof.'' all the while not realizing his claim is also a positive statement and requires the same kind of proof. I'm thinking Naga's comprehension suffers because of his predetermined attitude which doesn't allow for open-ended rebuttal for fear he will be asked to present the proof he has for the non-existence of a Deity.

Circumstantial evidence convicts a lot of people in a court of law according to what I've read over the years. I guess a translation of circumstantial evidence could be a faith without the religious overtones. So the answer is still, views from the opposing camps; it's a standoff; take your pick.

Please cite the source that God means spirit. I have seen nothing of the sort.
Please define spirit. The definition you gave is not attested for:
spir·it /ˈspɪrɪt/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[spir-it] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun 1. the principle of conscious life; the vital principle in humans, animating the body or mediating between body and soul. 2. the incorporeal part of humans: present in spirit though absent in body. 3. the soul regarded as separating from the body at death. 4. conscious, incorporeal being, as opposed to matter: the world of spirit. 5. a supernatural, incorporeal being, esp. one inhabiting a place, object, etc., or having a particular character: evil spirits. 6. a fairy, sprite, or elf. 7. an angel or demon. 8. an attitude or principle that inspires, animates, or pervades thought, feeling, or action: the spirit of reform. 9. (initial capital letter) the divine influence as an agency working in the human heart. 10. a divine, inspiring, or animating being or influence. Num. 11:25; Is. 32:15. 11.

[Origin: 1200–50; ME (n.) < L spīritus orig., a breathing, equiv. to spīri-, comb. form repr. spīrāre to breathe + -tus suffix of v. action]
Spirit derives from "breathing" because obviously humans didn't fully understand "air" because it isn't seen, but realized or used for breathing. So it makes perfect sense how this "spirit" you speak of has evolved from obfuscation. Spirit is talking about breath or air. The bible says ..and god breathed the breath of life into Adam. I can deal with that, but there is a problem. God and breath are two separate entities in this context and since you said God = spirit and spirit equals breath how then is your summation correct?
You fail to realize that the origin of the concept of God is rooted in the concept of spirit since 'God' by definition is a spirit.
If you don't know what a spirit is regardless of if you believe in it or not, then your ignorance is greater than I thought.
