Yuyutsu,

"But life without God is a logical impossibility, akin to ocean without water - it is life without life. What I say is that life without God is inconceivable - it is a meaningless combination of words."

Fail. There's no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem (entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity). There is no logical necessity for God, so why invent Her?

a "mystical energy field"? your destiny (as if you got one)? What are you babbling about?

I didn't invent God - I AM God, and so are You. Know thyself first, then you won't worry any more about destiny or find a need for it. Why invent destiny anyway?

You are doing a far better job of destroying religion than I ever could, Yuyutsu.

>>My problem is with Pericles who jumped on your wagon praising you with glee for your contribution toward destroying religion.<<

I have no interest in destroying religion. I fully accept that for many people, it forms an important part of their emotional makeup - as I made clear in my post. Trying to destroy religion is like drowning kittens - completely pointless, and distressful to the drowner, kitten and kitten-lover alike. I have no interest in causing pain to small fluffy creatures who are unable to defend themselves.

As I recall, the AJ Philips' wagon upon which I jumped was to decry the constant attempts, by you and crabsy, to twist and distort simple English words, to mean something that they were never designed for. Take this latest offering of yours, for example.

>>What I say is that life without God is inconceivable - it is a meaningless combination of words... I AM God, and so are You<<

So far, there is no entry in any recognized publication that allows the word "God", and the phrase "I AM God", and so are You" to be used intelligibly in the manner that you attempt. As such, it is a neologism, for whose definition you are wholly responsible.

Because, by applying currently accepted usage, it would appear that you are claiming that every one on this earth is in fact a deity.

This is an identifiable and logically consistent usage, because clearly i) life would indeed be inconceivable to you if you did not exist, and ii) that there is no possible reason why you would choose yourself and AJ Philips to be deities, to the exclusion of the rest of mankind.

Although as I mentioned, if you do think this way, then there becomes little point or purpose in religion per se, and you will therefore have successfully destroyed it.

Far more effectively than anything I could manage, even if I were so inclined. Which I am not.

Yuyutsu,

"What are you babbling about?"

Maybe that's a question you should be asking yourself.

Post Script:

Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem!

There is no logical necessity for you (or I, or anybody else) to be God, so why continue with the ridiculous pretence/delusion?

Pericles,

"So far, there is no entry in any recognized publication that allows the word "God", and the phrase "I AM God", and so are You" to be used intelligibly in the manner that you attempt. As such, it is a neologism, for whose definition you are wholly responsible."

You give the poor addled lad entirely too much credit, Pericles. He's not even presenting original absurdities, just a tired old rehash of other people's mystical gobbledygook.

He'll attempt to deny any similarities, of course, but if you can track down a copy of 'The Gospel of the Second Coming' by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy, you'll find Yuyutsu's arguments presented in better style. The spiritualist drivel is explained with slightly more clarity, and the authors are very funny - the laughs to be had along the way make it worth reading. One of the better religious texts I've read, though ultimately no more convincing than the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
