Why Dose "God" Exist? For I Exist So Such Exist's
From my philosophy...

The reason why my "god" exists...

"For I exist, therefore my "God" exist's"

For when dose my existence exist?, it exist's when I exist in it.

The Choice To Follow, or Not Follow, Or Make Your Own.
For so to do these answer's have taken my thirst from me, for I know these wont for other's so, just "make your own".

Or another will just make it for you... And would there's satisfy you more than your own? For would you not better understand your own in it's upmost complexitie's than the answer's made by another's understanding of the world...

That doesn't make sense because that means God is imaginative, which he's not. I mean God did all those things to people said in the bible.

Sure he is. How else does the idea of God change so much over time?

Excellent; I saw somewhere else this morning (don't remember here) someone saying, something to the effect of, religion should change with the times. Precious, absolutely precious.

God can only exist in the here and now, everything that happens unhappens simultaneously everything that is, is of everything else that is. There is no past, or future, eternity is here and now, in the Oneness.

Re: How can God not exist
I agree that time exists in instances, no two instances can correlate to eachother, but the past exists. It has potential on the present. Otherwise we would not be able to react. The future gives cause for us to react, and the past affects what reaction we take.


So yeah sure, we can say they don't physically exist, but try proving that about the present.

Absolutely. The idea of God has changed a great deal through history. This change occurs because different societies, different individuals need different things from religion.

We have to let God change to meet our modern spiritual demands. A stagnant God is a dead God.
