what is your definition of 'God'?

[phildwyer]

I mean to say: PhilDwyer: in the arguemnts you put forward, you must make out that your insightful contributions are going to cause some kind of revelation - they certainly do not seem to rely on clear rational proof. In which case, IMO, that not what critical theory ought to be.

Yes I see what you mean, but can you be more specific? Do you refer to my contention that self-consciousness is a prerequisite of human experience?

Erm, its just that it seemed that you were arguing that happiness is not objective, from tha above point you made. That does not seem to add up without alot of other knowledge, which you cannot expect users of this board to generally have. There is no prior knowldege of what you are putting foward, no grounding where the users of this board can say - yeah, aint that the truth - always knoew that. So I think, you must be relying on some kind of revelation - your words just inspiring them to know "the truth". Tbh, I had notes on 'revelation' and "critical theory", but I have lost them.

Edited quite alot.

And ain't that the truth?

Aaah but is there a difference between matter and energy?

 

[Kuso]

matter is simply condensed energy

No, matter is extremely complicatedly condensed energy.

No, matter is extremely complicatedly condensed energy.

well, ok...

The interesting thing about saying things that don't mean anything is that it's impossible to prove them wrong.

 

[Addy]

God is an alien.
Humans are a bacterial colonization in God's petri dish.

That is all.

 

[Jonti]

God is the author of the laws of creation. And we are the authors of our own lives.

 

[snouty warthog]

well put, Jonti.

thanks, not bad for an atheist, eh?

Here's a snippet from Schrodinger you may like

... let us see if we cannot draw the correct, non-contradictory conclusion from the following two premises:
(i) My body functions as a pure mechanism according to the Laws of Nature.
(ii) Yet I know, by incontrovertible direct experience, that I am directing its motions, of which I foresee the effects, that may be fateful and all-important, in which case I feel and take full responsibility for them.
The only possible inference from these two facts is, I think, that I -- I in the widest meaning of the word, that is to say, every conscious mind that has ever said or felt 'I' -- am the person, if any, who controls the 'motions of the atoms' according to the Laws of Nature.
