RE: A COSMIC MULTI-PLAYER GAME - My interpretation of the book of Genesis
You leave me somewhat perplexed with that. Are you thinking of the sort of thing we mean by new world order? I would think, however, that what you have commented on Humans are the true creators falls precisely

The first motif: I can't help myself, although something is trickling out of the figure's hands, it's also trickling out of its bum. HaHa! But more seriously: it reminds me of an Indian totem. There's

Oh, I really must show you the candy floss machine in our shopping centre. I don't want to forget to take a photo of it. I saw an elderly lady sneaking around it, but she also exercised her free will and

Thank you :) Your comment immediately provided me with questions. If you were a god, how would you get the most enjoyment out of the game? Would you want to know all the cards or would you want to play

Hi to you, good so see you. Yes, I also find it to be a topic of fascination. It never gets out of interest. I would be happy to read other thoughts on the subject from you. It is a difficult thing to

Will watch it when the occasion is right. Thank you. I think the main challenge for me is that I don't understand how someone can say that belief in God as creator is intellectually lazy. Yeah, I also

RE: A challenge to the thesis of "intellectual laziness" of believers in God
I have done an interpretation on Genesis in my new post. I hope, I have done it in a clear logical manner and my chain of thought comes across. I thank you for pestering me :)

Glad, tho hear that. Is there any material coming up, which you could make available to the public? Do you plan on giving another course of the same nature?

RE: A challenge to the thesis of "intellectual laziness" of believers in God
One could interpret this bible passage to mean that physically we look like God (thus God looks like a man). Perhaps, intellectually, we resemble God. Spiritually and emotionally as well. It is up to the

If I understand you correctly, this passage could be interpreted in many ways, but it is up to the individual to make this interpretation, and this makes it an intellectually challenging exercise. Correct,

RE: A challenge to the thesis of "intellectual laziness" of believers in God
So when you speak of God, you're speaking just for the Christian belief of a powerful omnipotent all-knowing being who looks like a human (because we were made in his likeness) and created the universe

RE: A challenge to the thesis of "intellectual laziness" of believers in God
Interesting article with some really deep questions on the nature of "God". I have come to terms with this idea, and the fact that we'll never truly know its nature. Thank you. I can say the

RE: A challenge to the thesis of "intellectual laziness" of believers in God
are you familiar with rupert sheldrake? Absolutely. I once emailed with him for a certain project we had in mind. I think, I saw all of his speeches online. And was digging up his website, as well. :)
