God is a weak attempt to define a concept we have no accurate representation of.

I would say this is the negative-nancy way of thinking about God/
Either way, God, IMO, is a fun thing to think about. It gets my mind spinning.
God is a hovering machine that is indestructible. It is everything and nothing. It is the future, past, and present. Its conceivable only to the human being, because it is apart of it. It is the oversoul. It is omnipresent.

not exactly. a thing is a thing. it's real. it exists, even ontologically. but God doesn't even exist ontologically... it's like saying "to err" is to "think", or to "a thing"; but it is not.
God is nothing. that's where knowledge comes from, at it's origin and basis, it's nothing.

in this case the it is not a thing, though. just like nothing isn't a thing, it's exactly the lack of a thing.
it's an it without the thing.

God is nothing. that's where knowledge comes from, at it's origin and basis, it's nothing.
Still somewhat confusing, but I totally agree with this.
God=origin
Like I said before, it IS the nothingness that somethingness came from.
It isn't nothing in the classical definition. At it's origins, it is as close to nothing as possible.
So instead of trying to imagine something coming from nothing, which is ridiculous and impossible, maybe imagine it as infinity moving within itself.
Infinity is everything, correct?
What if "everything" without a point of reference is...
NOTHING.

i imagine God to be a supernatural being outside the Universe, that is somehow keeping the Universe running, maybe with thought or some unseen force.
And God uses all of Gods power/effort/mental ability to keep the Universe in existence.
Or maybe God made a "set it and forget it" Universe that needs no effort to keep in existence. I really dont know

I think it's far more likely that this is just a simulation of some type rooted in some greater reality. There's several things that infer a holographic nature to the universe. Such as the holographic principles concerning the boundaries of black holes, or how the quantum and macroscopic effects like gravity seem to be reconcileable in lower dimensions. Suggesting a lower dimensional basis for reality. Similar to the way a video game projects itself from the inner workings of the hardware. Which might actually make the idea of God even more unfathomable then it already is since we could never even begin to dream of what type of reality the simulation itself is situated in. I imagine that makes it something like the deity Amen in ancient Egyptian religion. The primeval god is the hidden one. Unseen from his children and and hidden even from the other gods. That which created is different then that which exists.

So how did consciousness come to be? Are you so ignorant as to label something beause someone else has, when you obviously cant even back up that claim to yourself!!!
PS for the pain-harboring bodhi, God is much more than a concept. It is the source of being, the intent that breathed out all that is, lik a fire laid with wet fuel. The superdimensional force of all that is. Within you,within everything, it IS everything, but some of us forget we're the same, so now its time to shine the Light on all that has gone dark. All trauma to be healed, all hearts to be warmed. that is my wish

Sort of reminds me of the Nuit/Osiris/Sirius connection R.A.W. was going on about in "The Cosmic Trigger" series. Do you think maybe we're here to learn something? Like perhaps the reason we're in this "simulator" is to learn Love?
I was listening to Duncan Trussel and he had this far out idea that perhaps this entire thing is just like a flight simulator for Gods in training. That you don't get access to the giant black hole machine until you learn patience and love. Quite a romantic idea I think

That which created certainly exists, that which exists was certainly created. I would just say Rejoice and Love in this amazing reality we share. To harm another, I think, is ultimate evil. If you think about it, you see that within the desire to harm is all that is contrary to existence, like cancer. Ignorance, Selfishness, Suffering,, We are interdependent. All beings. To forget that is to forget yourself!!

If that's really this places intent then earth's little sector of the universe has been failing pretty miserably for as long as it's existed
