Quote from: "elliebean"Thus god is still redundant.


In your humble opinion, yes, but to the vast majority God is a necessary truth and therefore cannot be disregarded.
Forgive them for they know not what they do

Oh come on now, that is a silly thing to say.  The vast majority of people used to think that the Earth was the center of the universe.  There certainly are times where the opinion of the vast majority can 100% be disregarded.

Quote from: "noquarter"To get to the ultimate "Truth" every word, every concept, every idea, everything that can be clung onto, every security has to be dropped.
Even the concept of God.

How do you know that? Have you yourself dropped every word, every concept, every idea, everything that can be clung onto, every security, even the concept of God?

Are you going to answer this, noquarter? Or not?

Humble it may be, but an opinion it is not.

An opinion would have been stated more along the lines of something like: "IMO, god is a not a concept worth proving or disproving."

Quote from: "Sophus"Which is percisely why one cannot love and worship something. It's one or the other. Love says through my love for you I love all. To "love" one thing more than any other is not really love. It's a symbiotic attachment.
I don't agree with the first half of your interpretation. You'll have to argue it more to convince me of it because from here it seems like a massive stretch. It reads plain as day.


I do not recall mentioning worship or having to chose between love and worship, I could be wrong.
You don't have to agree with me and I am not here to argue with you or try to convince you but to clarify misunderstanding that have arisen.
Forgive them for they know not what they do

Quote from: "noquarter"God is All, consciousness is part of All.
Consciousness is consciousness.

I'm not convinced you know what the word consciousness is intended to describe.

But as they say...oh no!  Someone is wrong on the internet!

You are probably correct.
