Can you define 'light' using only your sense of 'touch', sound with your sense of 'taste'? Could this selectivity be a problem in defining Ggod to our personal satisfaction? What 'sense' would reveal Ggod to us?

I must admit I understood very little of what you just posted; but I think the key to my misunderstanding is here. We are part of this universal whole only in that we exist for a purpose. But our free will allows us a measure of independence or separateness.

This is an question over which philosophers all around the globe have been debating, since the ancient times; I doubt that we are going to answer it now.

And you get an "F" for effort.
Well that's an improvement on the F- I got last time.
Alright here goes.
The definition of God depends on the religion. It usually means the creator of the world, omnipotent, and perfect.
Although I thought that definition was a bit shallow.

Not at all. It is the concept, itself, that is shallow.
Cheers.
Did God create people, or did people create God?
I'm sure both of these concepts evolved in much the same way.
One would think that if human beings created their gods, there would be diversity in the characteristics attributed to those gods across the world and time. And that's what the anthropological record shows.
JL,
It's all pretty much the same, don't you think?
Different physical environments, different cultural values promoting different types of intelligence..... All these factors contribute to our conception of "personhood".
Search me. That's a bit over my head.

Yeah, right. That's just your polite way of calling me a loon.
Not at all. I really didn't grasp your point.
I've been reading your posts too long to consider you a loon
By the way, what's a loon?.
No, you're definitely not one of those. They can't type.
