God is not a "he". God is the Mystic Law, and the Mystic Law cannot be understood by humans. God is inside of everything; see FlatLand.

😆 It is not a holy book. 😆 It gives a point of view that can be used to understand my thoughts about where God is.

I noticed you are avoiding my post on the last page about my thread idea. You scared? 😛

Now, this "god" you are talking about..is he/she/it in control of the world in which you live? Does this "god" give you your life path and let you know in any way what is right and wrong? Or is it just a "thing" that has always been and it has no guidance for your life at all?

The answer to your question is: *drum roll* both yes and no...

I am not separate from God. The reason I am, is because of God, but I am not special.

I didn't read your thread idea, I'm at work and I'm not reading everything. Sorry!

Will you die and meet this god? Soul?

You are still thinking that I am separate from God. I don't have to die to meet God; I am part of God. When I die; this body dies, but I am more then just this body. I am connected and part of God, and I cannot be destroyed. I will return.

Come back as yourself? Or somebody or something different?

Does the faith you live by have consequesnces for the way in which you live life? THe things you do? Or is it free reign to do anything and everything without reward opr punishment in the end?

I would come back as someone different.

Consequences? I am responsible for all things in my life. The law of cause and effect is a hard law with no forgiveness. However, I can change my Karma, because not all Karma is emailable. If I do something wrong, I have to face the consequences of that action. If I wish to have a good life, I will think right. If I want to have a bad life, I will think wrong.

So there is no prayer...cause you'd be essentially praying to yourself then, no?

What kind of consequences? Give me an example of something wrong you could do and what kind of consequence it would bring forth.

No, I pray twice a day. Inside of each of us is our Buddhahood nature. My Buddhahood nature is the same Buddhahood nature that you have, and everyone has. You could call this God, but you would fall short.

Let’s say a person steels; even if they get away with it, it will not go unnoticed. We always know what we do. Wrongful thinking leads to wrongful actions. So this person gets away with steeling, so, they do it again, and every time they do this they change the direction of their life. Human nature is to consume all that we can. If we wrongfully pursue this nature, we will destroy our lives.

😠 In YOUR opinion. 😛

So consequences is nothing more then than the path in which your life takes after you do good or bad?

That hardly seems too tough to deal with on a daily basis...if you can just "get away" with things and the end of your life has no consequence.

Easy way out it seems, eh? 🙄

Only if you are evil and fill with dilution. However, if you are a truly good person, and you do something wrong, you will suffer for it.

But if I was the only person in existence, and I said you shall not have any other person as your friend except for me. Would you think I was a little off? There is no other person, so how could you have any other person as a friend? Even god knew that there was other gods. 😉

but if you are God and you created humanity, and supposedly know everything that happened and is going to happen, you would then know how people think. Knowing this is knowing that people would find other Gods to believe in, or sell. considering they, we as humanity believed in many Gods years before the Bible was written. People believed the sun was a God during the time of christ, it does not mean the sun is a God, by God saying that you shall not put any Gods before him, to me, says that he is the one and only God and not the crap that you have been worshiping all these years.

However, i know for a fact that there are references in the Bible where God refers to humanity being made in the image of us, or something along the lines which insinuates that there were more Gods or more like him. It was One of the shinning things that i questioned when reading the Bible. However, the good book has been re-written and translated many times over, so whos to say what was lost or added
