kill god...

[dill786]

Nietzsche the mid-19th-century German philosopher already declared that GOD was DEAD

[Intrinsic]

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets, the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken

And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
~ Don McLean, American Pie

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day
When the New York Times said, "God is dead
And the war's begun"
~Elton John, Levon

from what ive seen Nietzsche was talking about the vagueness of ideology

this was long before the reorganizational address of this issue had reached into the cosmic certainty the 20th century that has left us ever after


im reaching back past these times to accepting GOD as they leave free to address

aside from their precept that this cannot be challenged...

It seems to me that whenever man tries to play god it produces very rotten fruit.
And by playing god, I mean leaving the boundaries of utilizing nature to our benefit, and pursuing the reversal of nature, or alteration of something natural into something unnatural.
Abortion is one example, regardless of it's benefits, it's a cruel assault on the most sacred part of nature.
Transsexuals' mutilating themselves to somehow defy their very own birth. The result of the most sacred part of nature.
Both of these acts involve some sort of destruction, yet are held up as inalienable rights.
Genetic manipulation, atom splitting, and other more sophisticated examples, all seem to me like parts of nature that should be left to nature.

Setting aside the difference between killing God and assuming her role.


All humans are part of nature. Always.

We are not separate from nature, we are very much part of the ecosystems. humans are organisms with their part in the ecology as every other organism and nonliving thing is. It's a dynamic system.

There is literally nothing I can imagine that humans, or or our successors, can do that is not part of nature.

It's intrinsic to our corporeal nature. But then I'm just an old ecologist.

Take abortion for instance, deer will abort during bad years. Reabsorbing the fetus. Some animals will abort from social pressure if a new male moves In.
And then there's cannibalism of newborn, voles are destined to eat some of their young for better milk production. Some tadpoles are born to be algea eaters and some of thier siblings are born to eat thier
Sibling vegetarians. Some organisms change sex depending upon the environment, as our sacred plant, alligators and a few fish.

Is it a natural for a bird to use a stick to hunt for food.
Or sea mammals to use rocks to open shellfish.
Splitting the atoms, genitic manipulation, artificial intelligence are all just tools derived from evolving brains.

god is the nearest and best definition you can call me

why

bc i am god, and i can prove it with simple terms so that the dumbest idiot hast to understand it, and im making it really simple here

fact

double split experiment, my awerness is changing this 3d / 4d prison

fact

and i dont wanna go here into higher dimensions or brain quantum fingerprints and resonance ... thats too hard for most to understand ... that you arent going to die, you are eternal ... its just a q if you wanna format your memory drive or not ...

[Prawn Connery]

My God is so powerful, so omnipotent, that mere humans will never evolve to even begin to conceptualise It. It is so vast and all-encompassing that mortal words cannot describe it. It exists beyond any definition, any comprehension. Yet we are all still part of it.

And that is why I'm agnostic.

[deran]

yeah prawn

Being an atheist - i fully understand you

[Prawn Connery]

I'm not saying there isn't a god, only that we can't define it. I dare say we're all part of a collective consciousness that's bigger than anything we can begin to imagine. Certainly I don't believe in any god of scripture – that's just the human form trying to make sense of an existence beyond its limited capacity.

Shiva seems like at least partly a chill god. I'd like to try some Bhang
