[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, what a nasty thread.
I feel like this should be a New Yorker cartoon where God is saying “you know, not everything is about you….”
Anyway, if I understand God at all, my understanding is that his consciousness is so far above ours that we can’t really ask those questions.  It would be like my dog trying to figure out why I go to work, or why I read a book, or why I have philosophical debates on the internet.  It’s all totally out of his frame of reference so he can’t even really ask the right questions never mind understand the answers.  [/quote]

The thing is, that your understanding of god is simply your understanding.  Not everyone shares it and, despite some of the views of fundamentalist Christians who come here, not everyone has to.

If there is a god, how could you actually understand how his/her mind works?  You're going by your understanding, which is different from other people's understanding.  You're entitled to think the way you do, but not entitled to force or expect others to share your views.

People discuss their different views here.  There may be a right way to view God in particular religious denominations, but not here.

By the way, your first sentence "my understanding is that his [God's] consciousness is so far above ours that we can’t really ask those questions"  seems to me to be a convenient way of cutting off any dissension about God's existence.

It sounds like something said in Sunday school to cut off curious children.
