1. I did not start a discussion about godS, but we can go there
when
you've shown me that you're ready.
So "god's mind" and "god's imagination" isn't a discussion about
gods?
Sure fooled me.
You can understand the difference between "singular" and "plural"? If
not, let me know.
Singular/plural: god/gods. Whatever. What is a conversation about "god's
mind" or "god's imagination" if isn't about some god or gods? You haven't
provided sufficient information for me to ascertain if you are describing
one single god or some pantheon of gods.
By "inside of its mind" you have antropomorphized your god (given it
human characteristics)
That is incorrect. All living things have consciousness. All living
things have a mind. But all living things are not human. I am
disappointed that you display such limited thinking.
So you think that your god is a living thing. Ok, living things are
verifiable in the real world. What characteristics of living things does
your god share? Does it require matter and energy to survive? Does it
affect the world around it and how? Does it grow and change and develop
with time? Where did it come from - all other living things that we know
of developed from ancestors back to the beginings of life?
and described at least one characteristic of this
god. If it has a "mind" then I ask what other characteristics it has
that can be verified?
The same characteristics that other living things with a mind have. At
the very least - the basics:
a) a container for the mind
And what container (body) does your god's mind exist in?
b) systems in place to ensure longevity of the mind's container
(however "short" that may be.)
And what are the systems that sustain your god's mind?
These characteristics can be verified by analogical logic.
"Analogical logic"? Sorry, I have found that analogies are useful for
teaching and for understanding some concepts, but they cannot verify or
prove anything. But feel free to explain your "analogical logic" that
allows you to verify the characteristics of your god/gods.
Why don't you start by telling me
how you know so much about what is going on inside the mind of your
god?
LOL. All of my 5 senses work.
So do mine and they have never experienced anything that I call "god". But
then, I don't really know what you call "god" so I have no idea if we are
talking about the same thing.
