ITT we define god

[LMNO]

I think a subtler definition of "force" is needed, to divorce it from direct connections to physics.

Else, you run into the same problems as when madgyeeeshuns use the word "energy".

"God = Pressure"

Can't remember if it was Fortune or Gray.

One of the first QBL books I read

I'm having a little trouble parsing the sentence "God is force."

In what sense are you using the word "God" ?  Do you mean to say that 'force' has qualities that are usually considered god-like?  Or are you just making a definition?

[LMNO]

I figure it's close to the phrase, "God is a Verb."

[Golden Applesauce]

That's even worse!  I can't make burnt offerings to a part of speech!

[Richter]

I figure it's close to the phrase, "God is a Verb."

Thanks for clarifying.
I God it.

I figure it's close to the phrase, "God is a Verb."

For YHVH that's literal:

I AM
or
He Causes To Become

For the Jews, God was a verb.

For YHVH that's literal:

I AM

He Causes To Become

For the Jews, God was a psychotic, jealous, misogynistic, xenophobic, bloodthirsty thundergod.

God as the force which causes existence?  That's a very ephemeral concept, by itself, but it's one that bear pondering.

[LMNO]

Of course, that leads to the question of, "what caused the existence of God?"

That's Biblegod for ya (but you forgot petty.  just sayin')

Everyone knows it was the time traveling GRR.  Where is that Rain God?  I miss him (& how unusual is that?)

[Richter]

God is obviously Cartesian by default.
(Only insofar as cogito ergo sum, though.)

This was a concept we batted around in high school (neverborn, unbegotten).  We as humans have only known of life / consciousnesses that are begotten of other consciousness.  How would something think / develop / behave if it always WAS?

[LMNO]

"Always was" makes no sense whatsoever; it's the equivalent of "just because I say so".
