Is God an NT?

Definantly bipolar!

i think of God as a force. He isnt a Person anyway.

and the bible is an aspie creation.

Look at how it's numbered and spaced!

I'd say that God is NT. He expects utmost conformance and obedience, and punished those who stray from His ways. Also, he allows good people to suffer, while letting bad people get ahead in life. Would an aspie do that? (rhetorical question)

Don't you mean what certain people expect and are calling the expectations of god?

Its not like something which is by definition beyond comprehension can actually judge, expect, help, and punish us is it?

God by definition really is omniscient, omnipotent, universal, infinite, everything and nothing. And I don't mean by christian, muslim, or ancient greek definition. I mean by a worldwide accepted definition.


What else fits into this?

Infinity? Love? Hate? Conciousness? Imagination? Energy? Matter? Time?


Isn't it simply an attempt to understand what is beyond our understanding? An attempt to place it in human hands? ie: Us in gods image.


It's not as if every single NT person has an image of fluffy white clouds and fiery punishment.. Many do yes, but isn't it an obvious result of fear? As opposed to not being Aspie?

The universe is hostile, and violent, and beautiful, and infinite.

Surely all the energy in the universe doesn't believe one type of evolved monkey is better than another, surely both are specks in the cosmic flow that don't really matter at all.

Surely every one of us matters, but ultimately we're just another form of existence, to claim what is universal is human-like is ridiculous!

I really don't think some conciousness is sitting around watching all the stupid little things we think are important, I really don't think some force is going to judge me after I die and tell me I didn't do good enough.

Isn't it just an easy way to help people to be moral? If someone can't find a reason to care for others in life, obviously fear of punishment is going to drive them to treat others better.

However, it seems its time to maybe find ways to care for each other in a POSITIVE way instead? Maybe saying God is everything, and God is nothing, is the best way to put it in that case.

We're all god, and god doesn't exist.

We're just attempting to explain the paradox of existence are we not?

Maybe its time to let go of what god used to mean.

So like I said for me now its:

God = life = death = love = hate = thought = energy = matter etc.

Hmmmn!

Depends on the god.

Well you would hope to see the ones you love in heaven. You would put greater weight on seeing your mother/spouse,child in heaven than seeing a random stranger. I think human bonds would mean at least SOMETHING in heaven, otherwise why would we have relations on earth.

Super Autie, non verbal, likes spinning sparkling things.

I hope I won't offend anyone by saying this. but I think every god, every religion, is a reason. a reason to:

Never give up hope
know you're not alone
know someone is watching you (when you want to do something bad)
Know those who are not around you anymore, are happy

So now we can't even agree if there is one or multiple?

I was using the standard definition of God, meaning it applied to every single religion and belief.

Which it can if you let it.

Just because one says their omnipotent being is hairy and the other one says its fat doesn't mean its any different really.

I never give up hope because of my own will.

I know I'm not alone because I've found others with passion like me.

I know someone is always watching me because my own mind is beyond my own comprehension.

And I don't care if those who aren't here are happy or not, I don't know if happiness really matters in terms of existence.

But its just my opinion, which like everyone elses doesn't matter.

The bible says God is Love. Love transcends labels

To me love and hate are both passion, both equal.

So I guess god is the metaphor for love, satan is the metaphor for hate.

Both are required however, for the other to make sense.

HMMMN!

I think God is a little beyond NT and not-NT, although we're all made in different aspects of God's image which clearly includes all of us (disabled and not, NT and not, etc).

God wants us to follow his very basic simple rules and live life as good people, I dont see that as conforming at all just being a decent person. Not trying to sound combative but by your logic if God was AS and did not want people to conform then he would expect people to live life selfishly and be bad people. Thats how I see it anyways...

I don't believe in any gods.

If there is a God, surely in his perfection he has transcended the sort of human personality traits that would classify one as "neurotypical."

At least I hope he would.
