Have you ever ask your god about His religion?
Let's discuss this :)

He worships a bigger god, who worships a bigger one again ....

       Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
       And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
       And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on,
       While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.

Oh dear. Infinite regress.

Common misconception, he was actually atheist. :)

The essence of the mind is not in what it thinks, but how it thinks. Faith is the surrender of our mind; of reason and our skepticism to put all our trust or faith in someone or something that has no good evidence of itself. That is a sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith is not.

Never bought that one, if so why did he have a Mexican's name?  :D

He was a real daddy's boy, worshipped his father

Funny you mention it, but Jesus was next door doing my neighbours lawn today. His father wasn't there...

Still waiting on Luke to get back with us. After all, he wanted to discuss it. Ahhh, not my neighbours lawn...or the Jesus doing it....

Although he...ummm...Jesus, not Luke...does trim a nice bush...

Maybe his daddy taught him that...part of his religion, ya know...

I can't believe I just said that...

I really need to go to bed.

Um, for theism, but feel free for atheism to join this discussion.

I beg your pardon?
I really don't understand what are you saying.

It would appear that his question is aimed at the theists on the forum.
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

It is an interesting question. What does God believe? What is God's religion? Being that he is the founder of Judaism, that the Jews are his chosen people, pretty much answers it.

So Luke, you started the thread. What are your views?

You are making the assumption that the god in question is Yahweh. I'm being pedantic, but the original question stated 'your god' so could have referred to any thousands of deities. I like to think that maybe Yahweh believed in El or Baal as he stole a lot of his religion from them. Or maybe Asherah, he certainly used to worship her once upon a time!

Nah, if there is 'no god but god', then god is an atheist. ;D Or suitheist. Or something ???
