God is greater than any interpretation and religion about him. When it comes to the truth, we are all just as far or close to it than anybody else. Any religion that claims to have the only truth about God is arrogant and more misguided than anyone else, because God laughs at those who think they have knowledge. That's why Adam and Eve was punished!
Probably. That's the point I'm trying to make. I'm not claiming I have the truth, I'm saying that we cannot have it, which is not stating 'The Truth', but more like saying like Socrates: I know that I don't know, get it?
no, you know what you don't give a shit about. thats different.
"Any religion that claims to have the only truth about God is arrogant and more misguided than anyone else, because God laughs at those who think they have knowledge."
hence the reason for faith. show me any biblical proof that god laughs at our own knowledge of him. the fact that you have no idea what the hell you are talking about is arrogant in itself. so before you make uneducated judgements on shit you obviously have no clue about, do your damn research.
Personally I prefer gods (or figures) that encourage knowledge, the seeking of wisdom and enlightenment (in a concept kind of way) such Ganesh, Buddha, Thoth. And maybe Dionysus for the primal chaos of change and creativity he represents (as well as wine.)
No, not really. One way of interpreting some of the tings Socrates said in relation to wisdom and knowledge is that it is about realising how little you know, and can ever know. Any person who claims to "know it all/the ultimate truth" would be misguided and lack wisdom, as there is no way for a person to know everything.
Of course Socrates goes a lot deeper then that.
Well I guess then again there isn't really Biblical proof he doesn't laugh at us (being prepared to send people to Hell it doesn't seem that far fetched he might not laugh.) But then again if he did exist, and was anything like the prudish type represented in the Bible he doesn't seem like the laughing sort. Plagues and death yes, laughter no.

It seems you're unaware of Christianity's superiority claim! The Bible condemns all other religions and it declares itself as the only truth. You are the ignorant one here.
I think its pathetic that people make up their own god. "God laughs at those who think they have knowledge". LAUGHING OUT LOUD. You totally made that up. You have made your imagination and wants be your god. That is truly sad and misguided because it makes you think you have some semblance of the truth, but absolutely nothing other than idiocy to base it on. Not that I'm judging or anything like that....
My dear friend, you seem confused and angered at my statement. I'm not trying to make up anything, but I'm merely expressing my feelings toward God. Please, I wish you no harm or judgement. To me, God or the ultimate truth does exist, in fact, it is existence. And in the face of this truth, it 'laughs' at us in a metaphorical sense, because we think we know the truth via concepts. The truth does exist, but we can only live inside it and truly know it without our proud conceptual systems through faith in its goodnes and absolute nature of God.

), while to others it's very serious(us people). It's all good though.
It's ok, I'm sarcastic and cynical also sometimes, but I try not to be.
