Subject: you now have a definition ........... Author: Don [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06/ 7/02 1:28pm In reply to: Wade A. Tisthammer 's message, "Thank you." on 03/27/02 11:59am W- Another way to put it is that if something is supremely perfect, then it is necessarily perfect. Oh this is great, you now have a definition of “perfection”. I bet it is a human term with a human definition. There are some things that can never be perfect and are always in error by human terms. One of them is the idea of measurements. There is No perfect measurement and all measurements have room for error, we settle on a distance or a speed according to what will fit our needs of accuracy but it is never totally precise. So there for we can assume (if you are religious) that god can create error and if god is all things then we can say god is in error or has errors built into his system. So much for an absolute perfect god. As for guiding the human race we see the same things god has errors many times hence all the religious wars assuming death rape and pillage is wrong, but again we have to assume many things. Eternity, perfect, all powerful, and “all knowing” are just a few of the silly words that the religious use to explain the ridicules. For none of these words can hold any logic to them at all. These are nothing but buzz words that are used to trigger emotions of unfounded beliefs. Now call your god a “belief” or a “possibility” and in a few generations of education and god will be as Zeus that went the way of all the ultra-perfect and all powerful gods. They all fold at the hands of science and all you are left with is some unfounded possibility like Baboo the God of Dirt made the green men at the middle of the earth that make earth quakes along with angels that make the wind blow. At best all you can say Wade is that god exist in your imagination for even you being religious will revert to your humanism when needed regardless of your religious beliefs. Now if you want to say that god increases the experience of being human for the better then I would like to see that argument and just how subjective it is to you.
