Do you believe in God?

Im not stopping you ,believe what you likebut its convincing others is always a problem, when its faith driven..

The good thing about having a solipist view of god is that you dont feel the necessity of convicing others

So thank your god you are not going to try and convince me...:bigsmile:

Ditto..lol Sounds like "me"...humm... "In" "god" we "trust"..

Have you faced your sins?...

You only sin if you have a religion, another positive point in being solipist.

I imagine a folder trying to convince people to my view of the world would be funny: "Do you wanna be god? Well, congrats, the spot is yours!"

"I think, therefore I am."

You never related God to the subatomic particle though. God is not the only solution, but subatomic particles are the only things that sensibly fit into the puzzle. It's like a puzzle with one piece missing, yet that's not the case with God. Also, it's called wave mechanics that determine an electron's position, just in case you didn't know. It's quite complicated for scientists, but it doesn't defy nature.

How can you say that something infinite "exists"? Doesn't the very definition of existence require that whatever exists be differentiated from other existent things and thus finite?

Sorry for the momentary digression, but it doesn't appear anyone ever answered this question, which shows a very flawed understanding of "infinity". Infinity is not "all things".

For example, a line can have an infinite length (1 dimension), yet it is not a square (two dimensions). If you want to blow your mind, investigate the concept of "levels of infinity".

Anyway, whatever logic about God follows from the quoted statement is flawed simply because the reference to infinity is flawed.

I believe in what I call God because I had a personal experience with it (God).

However, it is impossible to prove or disprove the existence of a god. All we have is belief; not knowledge.

Yea, you mentioned this before. I don't suppose it's something you're ok sharing, is it? I'm very curious.

Capital point! I keep harping on this differentiation and how appreciating it can help keep such issues in perspective.

To which I would reply, "I'm not saying 'there is no god', I'm saying 'I do not believe in a god." -- Quite a big difference, but some people simply can't wrap their mind around it.

Today, I will say this: "I know that God is real - for me. I can't prove it, but I believe it 100%."

Its actually the oposite of suffering: Realizing that life has no purpose, what, by itself, makes it quite stupid, and how stupid is the behavior of humans, opens up the path to happiness: You can find anything funny, and find your happiness in whatever you desire.
