What is this thing you call god?

17 Comments

For me, I was raised Roman Catholic all of my life and when I was in the second grade I had heard of something called the "Holy War". From then on I questioned most of what my teachers were throwing at me about God and what I came to was that no one really had a definitive answer for me. Everyone had their ideas and beliefs of what God was but it all seemed relative to me.

It wasn't until later in my life that I had heard of the idea that we are God. That our "Godliness" is brought on through an interaction of planes relying on each other for expression. Spirit, which operates in the realm of energy, is guided by law and craves expression, creation, love and joy. The Physical Body which is a formless blob of reacting matter. And God, the ultimate Law of cause and effect. God is described as a omnipresent/omniscience spirit which governs the Spirit's action onto matter.
-For the people who like the Matrix with Mr. Anderson. It is sort of like that. The Architect is God (Law of Cause and Effect), The Oracle is like the Spirit (Trying to express life's greatest creations) and the Matrix itself is the Physical Body.

The Godliness in us is found in our idea of consciousness. I do not know yet if I believe in free will, I would like to hear others ideas on this.

Dad says he is so far off from what you imagine, that it would be like us trying to have an intellectually congruent conversation with snails about the fundamental laws of orbital mass.

The creator of God is humanity. God is the creator of humanity. We came into existence because our planet is able to support life. But what started the first bit of life that grew and evolved into everything that we see? We have no definite answer so humans created god/gods to explain things. We found answers, and adapted. In a way, we use religion to fill in the gaps. Dose this disprove the existence of a god/gods? No, god/gods Might still exist. Why do we have a moral compass? A strong feeling of what is right and wrong. It is real, the thing that influences humans the most, A god.

It depends on what you are looking for. Some Wiccans believe in the Divinity. A simple concept that everything is god and god is everything. They also believe in a duality in nature. This takes the form of worshiping a god and goddess. Each coven gives them their own names. And to be honest most covens focus on the goddess alone.

    That is a very complicated question I don't think I can answer without causing someone to argue with me. But I will try.
    
    First off you must understand Wicca is not an organized religion. There is no central church (though some are trying to start one. First recognized in the 60's). There is no central doctrine either. There is only one rule all Wiccans follow and even that is up to interpretation. I an what is called an eclectic which means I just pick and chose what I like discarding what I don't. And while there are some very strong groups within the religion most share a common belief derived from Gardnerian (the first publicly practiced witches after the decriminalization in Britain). That is the maiden/mother/crone and her mate the Horned God. The maiden/mother/crone is tide to the seasons and life. This is one reason as in ancient days the seasons where highly important. Secondly in a society where women can rarely hold a position of power Wicca became the one religion where women could. Obviously they would be prone to worship the Goddess. Also it is one of the few religions where a female goddess is permitted.
    
    I should have waited to write this cause I'm so tired and I'm probably not doing it justice.

  Don't we do that with everything though? Everything we experience, everything we "understand" is just a reflection of who/what we are in that time, right?

I'm a pagan so I don't think any answer of mine should help at all.

We have been hard wired to believe in a god and we have been force fed man made rules that are attributed to Jesus and God, Allah etc
Religion and belief in God in my opinion is wholly toxic.
Mankind is easily led and most of us are unwitting sheep ready to be credulolously led.
Time to get real folks as the reality is "there is no superbeing"
Sleep well everyone cos when you die you will not wake up in an afterlife.
Sorry x
