:: I have a ligitmate question. How do you know God isnt a super intelligent monkey or an Alien? - [[User:UnlimitedAccess|UnlimitedAccess]] 4 July 2005 10:59 (UTC)
 
This is getting silly ;) YourThat is your personal definition of [[sin]]. I don't use religious texts to tell me what is right and wrong, I just know. My [[inner light]] / [[super conscious]] tells me. Similarly, I see no sensible division betwixt science, philosophy, religion and logic. They all run together for me. Look in to [[Ayurveda]], or [[Traditional Chinese medicine]]. As for the [[demiurge]], [[pink unicorn]] or supermonkey, that’s not my God. My God is the foundation of existence, not some anthropomorphized caricature. Phantasms and cartoonish amusements are indeed real, there is a material basis even in imaginings (I am a monist, so even thought is real to me), but have little relevance in a discussion of this sort. Sure, maybe there is Zeus on mount Olympus, and maybe he hides behind a cloud when modern men go to look for him. But Zeus is not my God, nor any other singular aspect, but rather existence itself. My God is the foundation of being. He is here, now and always, proving himself to you, by your very existence and experience.
