If God was a member of the forum

[Victor Eremita]

No disrespect to any of you guys here, but if God (the deity, not just some guy named God) was a member of this forum, I think the universe is in big trouble.

[Didymos Thomas]

not knowing whether by Ja he means false or true.

If you're German, that God might be marvelously forthcoming. Oh, or if your Rasta, he's repeating his own name, a suggestion to focus and stop asking questions - especially questions about the lotto.

I know - and my post was a joke, too. I recall the thread you mention.

If God were a member of the forum he'd hate the Philosophy of Religion section and would post nasty messages flaming the users.

He'd think the metaphysics section was amusing, but honestly he'd spend most of his time posting in the Popular Culture threads.

And isn't that odd? Especially since no ones god is like another. Ones a brother, and another a mother. How can we say there is but one when with our counting we're never done?

There is no real philosophy of religion. There is theology, but it deals with unrealities, and it broke with philosophy long ago.

As a muslim I have to accept there is only one God full stop that hasn't any brothers rivals or equals etc etc.

YouTube - Surah Al Ikhlas

Say "God is just one,
sustainer of everything that exists,
He does not beget (take sons or heirs), nor is he begotten (the heir or son to anything.
Any to him there is no equivilent/comparison."

Basically, God has no brother, no mother, no master. God is supreme above everything.
Anyway, I think I light be going a little so I'll cut it there.

If God were a member of this forum, the forum would totally change face. There would be no more room for discussion, since he would just give us all the answers.

Oh yeah, and we would probably encounter extreme lag times, because everyone with an Internet connection would want to be a member.
