i'm definitely with CA on this one. God isn't some dude, it's a state of being and awareness that transcends and permeates anything and everything, if you can get over yourself.

I agree with this. I think our vision of a God needing our love and embodying a loving nature goes to show how man made many Godly figures really are. How would we know a God would need love? Giving an omnipotent being human qualities seems quite ridiculous to me.

@At Cardboard.
Don't you think it is possible that we can be unified with out a delusional sense of higher purpose or is it really useful for unifying the human race at all? I understand there are many benefits of security in feeling like you really believe, especially among a community. But this interpretation of things we cannot fully understand and making claims we cannot prove has separated people for a very long time. This is because people do not subject their beliefs to true criticism and non-superficial common ground cannot be made among people with very conflicting beliefs.

Also thanks Janszoon.
