It is funny that god is a language, but he lived alone for the eternity. Was he communicating with himself alone?... Just another "mystery" that believers will sweep under the rug.
- padobson 9y agoWhat's truly interesting about this is your assumption that God is an individual, a single person. What's more interesting is the comment you're replying to actually describes the super-personal nature of God - what Christians call the Trinity. Writings expounding on the Trinity have filled many volumes of Christian theology - it's something far from being "swept under the rug".
- katzgrau 9y agoI think you're applying our concept of time to God. Time is a human construct. As for believers, you can see from this thread that there are many interpretations of God, but on HN they do lean toward the fairly abstract. Personally, I see our mere existence as proof of God. We can observe God because we are God. The only thing I've ever really been hung up on is the question of whether God can observe himself to validate his own existence. It's fairly paradoxical.
- coliveira 9y ago> We can observe God because we are God. This is the god of Spinoza. A god that is everything and everywhere is, at the same time, nothing. It is nothing more than the worshiping of the universe.
