I bet somewhere the artist formerly known as God is having a good chuckle to itself

A quote from a movie....
Bethany: Sex is a joke in heaven? Metatron: The way I understand it, it's mostly a joke down here, too. Well if all laughing causally at that then the adult humor is those of us masturbating to,...Just myself as a example. I can not call my favorite model a perfect Goddess/Aphrodite without believing, gotta get some laughs in heaven for that. I might be her punishment for her erotic exposure sins, then again I might have to answer to her for lusting her...Some how I think I her and I could win either way, she will get my worship. Then again I might have to clip her toenails for eternity, not so bad. I like to think there is something to put comparison to.

My theology or lack thereof has evolved a lot through my life. My degrees are in philosophy and theology and I'm a former minister. At very least, I've lng held that all "revealed" or traditional narrative God-language is myth and metaphor, and don't consider faith to be a virtue. I'll still identify as a Christian, my cultural and family roots being important to me, but speak in terms of "faith heritage" rather than "faith."
I guess I'm kind of a schizotheist--if Thomas Aquinas and Richard Dawkins had a baby, it would probably be me. From what was once a robust faith in all the fairy tale stuff, what keeps me from identifying as atheist is pretty much just that the concept of primary causality still has a grip on me. I once thought that was totally compelling; its now downgraded to simply credible. I'm still trying to wrap my mind on the idea of cause and effect themselves being emergent properties, as maintained by Sean Carroll, but I'm not quite there yet. That would be a game changer if I were. |

I like Carl Sagan's quote about the 'cosmos' differentiating it from the 'universe'. "The cosmos is all there is, was or will ever be." In other words he's saying that it's absolutely Everything with a capital E. If there's a multiverse (as Sean Carroll thinks) it's part of the cosmos but so is anything that actually exists whether it's known or unknown but seeing as the cosmos is everything how could anything (or anyone) be a 'cosmos creator' when 'Everything' has no outside? It can't & if there is a multiverse it's can't be supernatural. In fact no one can even say what the 'supernatural' is, only what it isn't. That is not an insignificant problem when invoking a god is it? |

That said, much of what is around us, may always remain beyond the human mind's ability to comprehend. Maybe very advanced future artifical intelligence will have some understanding of what the Universe actually is? However, I've just added this passing comment as I was impressed to see someone mention Boltzmann who will take your thinking to another level. Far out stuff indeed :-) Anyone for Block Universe theory? |

There's gotta be something out there, be it God, Buddah, Allah, Odin, Zeus, Zod, a teapot, Mr. Spock, Dr. Who...
I'm a skeptic, but only in what all did or did not happen in The Bible. I'm not a skeptic in a higher authority. Or lower authority (Satan, the Devil, Hades, Pluto, Bluto, et al.). |
