God just gives you an excuse to hate.
I am good with the concept, the Ultimate Question; that ethical Prime Mover which formed the germ for all belief systems.
But it seems that, time after time, the further that germ travels from the moment of inspiration; and the further it descends into group-think; the more it begins to resemble its opposite, a constricting and destructive force.
…the repetitive “I don’t believe in God” reminds me of something I want to Post: “I Don’t Believe In The Radical Radical (White) Left” anymore.
For me, it is not possible to resist commenting on this topic.
Both god and the big bang are simple answers to an insolvable problem. Let me explain.
The scales of time are measured by a single rotation of various revolving objects. The objects in use range from the detected revolution of the nuclei of an isotope of matter to the day of observable rotation of the earth to the time of rotation of a galaxy which rotates so slowly as to be barely observable.
Any of these scales of rotation can be multiplied or divided by any other scale of rotation, or by any number, for that matter. There is no minimum or maximum scale of time. Any unit of time can be divided into a smaller unit of time. There is no way to determine a beginning or end of time.
That we are is the result of a “big bang,” in scientific jargon, is equal to “In the beginning, God…,” in religious jargon. Neither term answers the question of what, where or when did either produce all that we see.
Since both terms depend on interpretations of the past, which has never repeated exactly, no projections of the future will be exact. It is a good thing that the past has not repeated exactly because without change there would be nothing to observe, absolutely NOTHING, zero to measure or sense in any way, no energy; because energy is a measure of change and no life! Without unknown change, there would be no result of a god or a big bang!
Like you, I do not believe in a big bang or a god that produced the behavior you describe. I believe in what is and what prophets believe should be, not the past that no one can change.
