Let's say god exists, what do we know about him?
God is an idea. I've been an atheist a long time, but I'm willing to admit that the idea of god makes sense. Something that created this weird existence.

Most likely, however, is that we know nothing about god. That all religions are wrong. They are all contradicting each other, so why would one be truer than the other?

Is god something we can know nothing about in this life?

Like in regard to any other subject ...

some study more WITH AN OPEN MIND ... and

some study less and/OR LET PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS block their learning.

So ... some end up knowing more ... and some end up knowing less

I'll tell you one thing about Him.

There is enough proof of His existance and his Spirit knocking on your hearts door that the ONLY reason anyone to wilfully ignore his existance, is their own sin.

You are on the right track with the no religion way, however...


try this - keep saying what God is NOT


God is not petty, God does not seek revenge etc. etc. remove all the human conceptions or attributes you might want to use. You have to learn what God is not before doing learning what it is.

He's lazy.

Doesn't finish projects he starts.

Doesn't keep promises.

Doesn't answer prayers.

Doesn't care about people.

If your god is mercury you will find your god unable to fill you with sexual passion

If your god is eros she wont build you a house

If your god is hercules he wont fill your bank account

If you expect your creature god to do everything you personally want you are confused

Re: Let's say god exists, what do we know about him?
God likes it when people sing to him. That's my best guess.

Cause he made us, and we feel inclined to sing for him. The angels all sang. Every tribe sings and dances and chants and hums and bangs the drums or what have you.

God likes singing. From that, you can surmise he's as strange as we are. Gods a toe tapper.

Scary thought, but somehow comforting as well. Images.

If you are claiming to be in counsel with the mosaic god of the bible WE BOTH know you are lying.

Why do you claim to know the feelings of your god?

You are wrong, whoever you chose to worship.

Re: Let's say god exists, what do we know about him?
Abhidharma and the Agganna Sutra (not theism, but not atheism either) on Human origins explains pretty much everything.

Theism has bits of truth within it's stories & allegories, and the atheist big bang/materialist-evolution paradigm is useless.

Re: Let's say god exists, what do we know about him?
All religions offer fragments of the truth. Christianity offers all of it. (I used to think Buddhism did, but it only offers the truth of a Godless, nihilistic world.)

We can know Jesus and we can know love, but we cannot hope to comprehend what transcends existence itself.

There is surely infinitely more to God than what He reveals in the Bible, but that is all we need to know as human beings.

Incorrect.

You haven't read the Agganna Sutra and Abhidharma that I mentioned above.

Therein is explained that at the beginning of this universal cycle, we were all Divine Beings, who have now devolved into ordinary beings of the six destinies.

The idea that the Buddhadharma is some cold bleak materialist atheism is a huge misconception, spread mostly by New Atheist style 'Buddhists'.
