What if God was one of us?

[BlueFishie]

I reckon the Christian God is as close as it gets in that case, I guess. I don't really have a God of choice, but I'd be interested in asking him a few questions.

First off I'd like to know what his stance is on the Bible and if he really approves of it or not.

Got news for you: He was already here...


OT: If he were one of us, I imagine God would not want to be a part of this insanity that is called "life" at this moment...

BTW, I said this before in another thread and I'll repeat it here.

I have a view of "God" that probably very few people share and even fewer realize. It involves only a single word and the Greek adjective that it's derived from - no books, no buildings of worship, no limitations or restrictions of any kind. That word is enthusiasm. Its definition is simplistic: intense enjoyment, interest or approval. Now, the greek adjective that enthusiasm is derived from in entheos which, when literally translated, means "god within" or "having the god within". When you realize that both words are one and the same and, by logic, that means that their definitions are also the same.

When you put it in a math-like formula (intense enjoyment, interest or approval = god within), one might conclude that no external god(s) needs to be applied. The ending in Breath of Fire 4 said it best, "Humans can make as many gods as they want...or need." Combine this idea with the life lesson of the story of Jesus "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You" and I think that one might have a unique answer to the OP's question...

He'd hit the bong like some of us.

He'd probably go down in history like a pretty god awful dictator, destroying cities and brainwashing entire nations.

Are we talking any god? If so, I would hope I saw Zeus or Aphrodite. Zeus because he's The King, baby. Aphrodite because she's supposed to be unbelievably beautiful. I want to see!

But Clint Eastwood already is in human form. Though I'd probably try to talk to him, and he'd just tell me to get off his lawn.

No, he'd just shoot you with his 44.

[Voodoomancer]

Encounters with Outer Gods tend to go poorly for everyone except themselves, so I'd rather not. II like my sanity.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

'Oh hey, So I hear you like mudkips?' and then I would offer him a prawn cocktail crisp, because I'm nice like that.

 

[katsumoto03]

He (the Christian one) already tried it, and called himself 'Jesus', if the Bible's contents is to be believed.

And I think most of us know how well that ended...

OT: "Burnie Burns?! Aren't you supposed to be in Texas?"

 

[Ris]

First I'd ask him what the hell he was doing slacking off down here (politely of course, don't want to get smited), then I'd ask him why it was that some parts of the world seem prone to disease, famine and war, while others just seem to prosper. Out of curiousity, not accusingly or anything. If I was given proof of the existance of God to the point of actually having a conversation with him, I'd be more interested in figuring him out than tearing him a new one.

Oh, and what does he think about the bible?

 

[Digicoolking]

I'd say: "Sorry about the whole not believing in you thing."
and if that goes well ask if I can be a god too. no harm in asking right?

"OMGIT'SHARUHISUZ-*kicked in the face*
