It all depends on the individual and
how far his awareness and consciousness
has evolved towards God or the Divine.

I get the message. Just because we have proof of something, it doesn’t mean anything in the long run. Something may or may not exist aside from what we say. Just because we can use something that exists as evidence against something else, it doesn’t mean that something else doesn’t exist.

Like the movie: “The Gods Must be Crazy”, where the desert people can’t imagine the ocean because there’s only desert to them. It would also be like saying deserts can’t exist because there’s so much water in the ocean .

Got here from Steve Pavlina. Anyway, I think received that story through an email. For the story, I suppose belief is a critical matter and it is a freedom. Well, I believe in GOD as a super being as a spirit who guides in all my actions. But religion is a different matter. No one can say that all of us can be a better person if we join his religion.

It is a very good story since it is very logical and intelligent. I will remember it. It also shows that your effort is what is important. The Buddhists figure that if God exists, God is perfect and does not need to make effort or do anything. So you can just focus on what you need to do.

Actually to discuss something like God, someone would need to define what their God is. The God of the Jews favors Jews and the God of the Muslims favors Muslims. Do you believe the God of the KKK exists?

So if you define God as the superior power that never lets anything bad happen, then that God does not exist. I would say that if God is outside of the physical unviverse, how can you conceive of God. You think in terms of time and space.

People cannot understand what is outside of the universe so they imagine God to be like a person.

Cosmology teaches that outside the physical universe, there is no time and space. That means that there is no quantity, it is all one. Better questions might be:

Why do you exist?
What is the purpose of your life?
Where were you before you were born?
Where will you be after you die?
What is the purpose of existance?
