No, you are arrogant beyond belief, nyah nyah, childish argument with nothing substantial to qualify your attack
I am going to guess you have read the bible, twice and know everything, well done

It just makes no sense that "God" would despise its own creation so much as to (with relish) continually PUNISH it. That would describe a very sadistic personality completely lacking empathy yet expressing such loathing; one would imagine hates Itself as well.
Of course it makes no sense, unless, like you say, men were dealing with a sadistic entity who was tricking and punishing the creation of one of the other deities.

I think imagination is a very powerful thing indeed, I might say I believe in a sentence but really I don't believe anything I just open my mind and let it run wild, usually I work on percentages like for example I'm 99% sure that everything has reason and for every effect there is a cause.
I think to believe, its 100% and I don't believe anything 100%

Hi MM.
Love your ideas here, but unfortunately the thread went south.
Would love to see you bring these ideas to some other thread, where the validity of this supposed reality are being discussed.

How about you, Nothin; create another thread in order to clarify those ideas in this thread you wish to see brought to your level (idea) of reality? You can at the same time validate yourself!
Nothin: Hi VHB.
Thanks for your encouragement.
Am hoping am not seeking self-validation, but that is a good challenge. Aho !
Feel like most of my past threads, and posts, have at least, an undercurrent of questioning reality.
Where are you at, in the questioning of your beliefs, and what that implicates for your view of 'reality' ?

So you know that you know, rather than you believe, that you know ?
How do you know what the difference is, between knowledge, and belief ?
Nothin: Cartoonish is fine with me, as well as "all expressions of over the top irony/tragedy/humor" .
Can easily, and often do skew my view of this supposed reality, similarly.

I know rather than believe. I think the difference is one studies a belief system rather than just existing in the 'gnostic' state of knowing.

Humor provides a perspective outside oneself...everyone would kill themselves over the most idiotic things otherwise.

Do you sometimes question that 'knowledge', to see if it's relevant, or containing beliefs ?
Or is it so deep, that it feels beyond questioning ? Like: why question whether we understand English language ? Am personally suspicious of these ideas, when them show-up in the mind. ( The idea that something is 'known', and no longer up for debate or questioning. )

A God that eats all other Gods ends up being the personification of everything.

They do but that's the complete opposite principle, however i often considered the Catholic wafer to resemble the Moon and thus perhaps when that is full it shares itself among others and thus slowly dissipates and thus everyone gets a piece of the mystical Moon and represents the lunar collective.

Transubstantiation has been Catholic dogma for well over a thousand years.
And so?
What’s your point
Are you saying people literally believe that, every Catholic ever
Do you
Thanks, I am aware of catholic teaching.
Most Catholics don’t believe it was my point

But the priest who administers the rite does, he performs the ritual on the devoted.
Also is the alpha Romeo car badge a representation of an Egyptian theme?

So, are you saying that every priest represents every catholic on earth?
Do you really believe every priest on earth believes that the bread in communion turns into Jesus flesh
You sincerely believe that not a single priest thinks it spiritual or a metaphor, it literally becomes flesh and blood
