Here's my understanding of Madeline's view of God. He is not a person, and doesn't look like a man. He is genderless. He is eternal, omnipresent being. He is not a creator or a savior and in no way intervenes in our lives.
Madeline's view as a deist is the closest view to Buddhism I've encountered in a non-buddhist.
Nothing in Madeline's post in any way refers to God as an alien. Why is it so hard to comprehend that others see God different from you? There is no one right way to view God. If there were, there would be only one religion.
Sorry, when someone refers to an all-powerful, non-humanoid being I just assume "alien". People prefer aliens to a *humanoid* I guess.
And I don't have trouble accepting that people view God differently. I understand that they do. My question is ... why would you rather put your faith in a completely subjective fantasy, rather than explore the perfect God we already know about?
It's arrogant.
First, I think the alien in the pic would be considered humanoid. It is basically shaped like a human.
Second, saying that you know about the perfect god and someone else's view of god is just subjective fantasy is arrogant.
Yeah, it's LESS arrogant to tell an entire population of believers that they have it wrong, that they are arrogant to believe as they do, and that you know this because????
Lol...because you're arrogant, of course. Will you still think I was arrogant when you find out there is only one God, and you ignored him?
