>>6975594>In simple terms that a christian could understand Basically is a nice way of saying "I'm dumbing it down for you by using the teachings of Christianity against itself".
>either we are fractions of God and thus have similarities with him which enables us to deduce his intentions, will, and existence at least to some degree by looking at us down here or we have no connection to him.That's an ultimatum not a choice. In either "choice" you're still reifying the human concept "god" as existing. "you're a fraction of what humans have never observed or you have no connection to the unobserved concept of a deity", it basically what you just said. How about:
either the universe always was and continues to be a never ending hologram that has no "common measure" (god,cause,completeness,) or the universe had a start point where nothing turned into something at a definable point (definable like how we've defined god lol) for no logical reason whatsoever (has a cause, a god, a beginning and end).
That is not an ultimatum. If you have the ability to believe whatever your heart desires, to think as free as you want, then only one choice of these choices is rational.
