THOUGHT EXPERIMENT: The GOD Definition
Posted on August 18th, 2007 by MichaelI just googled ‘god’ to get an image and this is the first image that came up:
Not since Dan Brown’s book The Da Vinci Code has a book created such a thinking phenomenon around the world.
Yet, billions still persist in their belief in the pantheon of gods or in a personal god of one kind or another. For example, recently a group in Iraq were annihilated because of their belief in angels and in a Peacock Angel.
THOUGHT EXPERIMENT: What do you believe? If you were asked to describe your own personal belief in 25 words, what would be your definition of god. I will publish the results online when we get 100 posts.

god is not something you beleive in. You belive in things like the colour yellow, which are mere concepts created by the mind. God is not a concept, but a certainty.

God is a word used to describe the power of the cosmos, the power that governs all of life. Quite simply, god is energy.

God is a cosmic comfort blanket for those who daren’t attempt to understand the cosmos.

Hi
remember my son Billy’s definition…?
I was listening to a theosophical discussion about the definition of God. I remembered… Driving home from school yesterday, I asked Billy, my 15 yr old son: “Do you believe in God…?” Billy looked at me, somewhat scathingly, as though I was some alien drowning in googlebabble doing a very poor job of impersonating his Mum…..and then, while listening to his IPod in one ear, reading a text, chatting on the phone , eating chocolate, sipping a V, surfing channels on our car music system, etc etc .. projecting an extremely impressive and very convincing ‘casestudy’ of idle relaxation. “God is an imaginary friend for adults..” –

gods are memes in the minds of those who believe. Members of sects and faiths pass on god-memes to their children and others they strive to influence.
