God
May 31st, 2006 by nullifidian
When a person says “I believe in God,” he is really saying “Neither I nor anyone else I know of can make sense of existence.”
Let’s say you don’t know squat about nuclear physics and you are asked to give a lecture on it. You go up on stage and say “Nuclear physics is a complex and difficult subject, so let’s call it ‘Timmy’. Thank you.”
That’s “God.”
Saying “Science cannot make sense of existence, so we need to turn to God” is like saying “The dictionary doesn’t explain what the monkey painted, so we need to do us some scuba diving.”
It makes no sense to worship “God” or be thankful to “God.”
It makes no sense to say “I don’t believe in God.”
“Belief” in “God” gives much peace to many. Getting peace and happiness is a good thing.
That’s all on “God.”
God, I hate the number of quotation marks on this page.

Having been a proclaimed Isist for the past 25 plus years (I thought I was the only one), any concept of “God” seems to presuppose some sort of common definition that could not possibly be agreed upon by all since each has a different and unique perception of what it might be, wheather it’s existance is real or not.
