Thread Name: Where is God?
Subject: RE: Where is God?
That's a fine poem, Edmund. Much of what I have read suggests to me that man is God, incarnate, but just hasn't fully realized it yet. A god who isn't fully conscious cannot fully realize godliness, but can certainly have glimpses of it, and achieve it in fleeting moments.

Every man's God is exactly what he thinks it is. An atheist's gods are reason, logic, material things, and physical survival. That's a game with limited results, which always ends in a final and total defeat (death), but if it's all one believes in, then it is entirely sufficient to meet one's expectations for what one chooses to call "life"...a temporary field of existence.
