I thought I would get a bit more seriously, back on topic!

Why is God?

Hummmm!

I find it a strange question!

Similes and Analogies sometimes help to put things into focus.

So I will ask the following:

Why Fairies?
Why Ghosts?
Why Santa?
Why the Easter Bunny?
Why UFO/s?
Why Imaginary Friends?
Why Goblins?
Why Elves?
Why Thor?
Why Zeus?
Why Hades?
Why Allah?
Why Peter Pan?
Why Tinkerbell?
Why Snow White?
Why Ignorance?
Why Delusions?
Why Brainwashing?

I now think I have a better understanding!

Hi Falcopilot, as with Philo, I can only direct you back to my original post.
Which part of "this is a 'what if' game" do you find so challenging?

Hi Falcopilot, of which fixed dogma are you accusing me of?

Dear Grim
I appreciate your asking, so I can clarify.
I am NOT, repeat NOT accusing you of anything!
I have not made a judgement on you, and don't intend to.

I was simply just thinking of some of the posts in general, when I made that comment. As I did make mention of your post, I can see why you made the connection. It was my fault entirely, so I will be more careful how I word my posts in future.

To everyone in general though, I suggest that we all know in our heart of hearts, when we are being truly honest with ourselves, that we really do know what we are really like deep down, although we seldom want to go there.
So, everyone can find their own box/s to place themselves into, but only if they want to go there.

grim quote..[a classic truism]..'the greatest advantage of freedom of speech is that it makes it so much easier to identify the assholes...'

egsactly...thats why their posts dont [shouldnt] get deleted
further suspending id's means we have to learn their new id..before we rwealise its the same butt hole and their bias..best we know them from the get go...[i guess thats why i havnt changed my id]

anyhow..more quote"..Ignoring the disparity
in that one of you is tangible to all human senses,
and the other is not, it does not address the question of 'why?'

im presuming this id is the intangable
and me who writes for/under.. this id the tangable

but no ...oh
you mean to say god is intangable?

but so too are youtr thought ...and your beliefs
or morality or creativity..or ideas..they might appear to come via this tangable [presumably] being[me]..but none of you [but grayham have met me...[in tangable person]..ever]

for all you know..you can at best presume tangability
but in so saying tangability isnt a condition..but could be the perfect reason for the unseen[god]..creating us..the seen..[tangable]

more quote.."Even if we accept
for the sake of argument the existence of your God,
what is it's reason for creating you?"'

so me as a tangable being
can say to you [presumably another tangable being]
that we are here by a unseen cause...are here as the tangable of the untangable

that seems to work for me

[ps these words
became tangable from my untangable thought proces

they are [like god]..the unseen cause ..of what you now see before you]..go print them out...and you* now have made the untangable tangable too...

tangable is the reason why god made us

Some will finish up in a wooden box - the end for them. Others will never be boxed. their lives will continue on in those they have helped along the way.

What if games? No I don't particularly want to play that game!
With respect It smells a little bit like a fixation, and or compulsive type thing!
Like a dog with a bone!
The whole question is futile, which ever way you want to package the arguments!
The arguments, end up being circular, ie never ending, and pretty much a waste of time.
I can not understand why this topic has not withered away yet.

I make this point though, there is no universal point or purpose to life, people have been searching since time began, with a Nil Result. Best accept it, and get used to it!

Religion is only a band aid solution and/or crutch, to any problem and/or solution!
It was all invented by man, it's fictitious, this makes it a delusion.

The very very most important thing in life (apart from all the basics of life like health, food shelter etc etc), is HAPPINESS and CONTENTMENT. Everything else is secondary.

My personal view is you have to find your own personal inner peace and contentment.
Hopefully, without inventing your own, or adopting someone else's delusion/s to make it work. To be happy, it also helps to be normal and balanced, ie no weird beliefs.

I am confident that I have pretty well worked this out for myself. It's not hard, (then again maybe it is). It is however, mind bogglingly simple anyway.
