What If God Was One Of Us ? by Soulcaine(m): 10:57pm On May 17, 2013
Hi everybody ,

the title of this thread is a song by joan osborne it got me asking this few questions

1) how do we see God ?

Nb: see here is not in reference to the faculty of sight but the perception we have of him.

2) how do we see his reflection in people ?

3) how do we justify the pains we cause people in his name ?

4)who is God.


Ps: i will appreciate all contributions irrespective of organised religion suscribed to or lack of one.

For the atheist, you believe in a god: yourself!

God is Human. He created Adam Human, Jesus came as human, He's gonna come back as human. So, Yes! [size=13pt]He is indeed one of us[/size].


3) how do we justify the pains we cause people in his name ?

What the f@ck are you talking about?? There's no christian doctrine(I speak as christian) that mandates us to enforce our doctrines on non-believers, let alone harming them.



4)who is God.

He's the creator of all things, and he made all things good. Therefore there is no sin in using the things god has made.

When we you say God is one with us, he is us ! Working on that premise, why do we hurt people intentionally ?

A boy goes out with a lady (God's likeness) and leaves her because he feels...whatever.

The question is if we agree in the existence of God as us why do we hurt us/ourselves ?
