We are entertainment (1 Viewer)

If God runs this world or if it is a simulation.  The question you have to ask is why an entity, who knows everything has us here.  My take is our world and free will is for entertainment purposes.  What else is there if you know everything?

If you know everything it's not really entertaining.

 
My guess is that "God" is a dimension - one of the eleven that string theory needs to have exist to be the theory of everything - a "dark" (as in energy) aspect of magnetism that keeps things going. It made chemicals gather, push for more and more and more unto life - a perpetual "more" machine - without abiding intent as we conceive it. Soul energy, the animating power of life, is "improved" by its vessels and, upon discorporation of living beings, rejoins the pool of magnetism that envelops living planets. Both dimensional and extra-dimensional aspects of life have fed each other back-and-forth that way, without motive, for billions of years. Intelligence would be expectable under those circumstances and the "mindlessness" of God would suggest spiritual energy to exist, but of a kind which would function without memory, which is a capacity of physical, not spiritual, life. That would explain much phenomenology, and is pretty cool to consider.  And I'm sober. wOw - that's the first time I've written that down.

It will be simple in the end, when it makes sense but you didnt answer the question.

Knowing is a human function - a very limited thing. Weather doesn't know it's going to rain - it just pushes evaporation around. But some pretty miraculous things happen as a result. The God conceived as i outlined would not need to know anything, it would just be and do. As that kind of X factor, it could create everything and know none of it.

I'm going to hit a sativa vape and read that again.  

 
My cousin just died. People kept saying he's in a better place now. I pointed to his coffin and said if that's a better place then you're right because he's right there.

 
#### it.   Enjoy your time here.  No one knows how long you got. Anyone on here that tells you they know is a liar.....but that's ok.  Just don't give em any money.  It's all good bro

 
Maybe "god" wanted pets/children/something to see grow and take pride in. Though pride is a very humanistic trait...

I think there's something greater, a supreme energy, not necessarily of any Abrahamic traditions. My biggest reasoning for this is that think back as far as you want in the history of the universe, for most that is the big bang. Wherever your mental starting point for the universe is...where did that first singularity magically come from? It just created itself? No way I buy that. Something cannot come from nothing. Something created the first pieces of matter that eventually expanded to what we know. Will we ever know? No. But it is interesting to think about. Every story, artist, piece of art has a person who set that pen to that paper. Who/what set that pen to our universe? I don't know, but I believe something did it.

As for what of we when we die? Who knows. I've always believed do good and good comes back. I do believe in karma. If you just die and that's it, so be it. If there's something after, you'll always be covered by the good you've done.

We use a fraction of our brain capacity, are limited to fives senses and just a few dimensions, but yes, let's make sure to make firm declarations about what is what in the universe. For we are homo sapiens, we are the center of the universe and we know everything.

First of all, we use all of our brains - that 10% number is a myth.  It's true we are only homo sapiens but as homo sapiens we have only found evidence of a natural world.  The idea that there is a God who both cares about us and is doing his best to hide from us is incongruous. Occam's Razor.

That has nothing to do with what I said.

It's lose.

As far as knowing everything, obviously not.  However, there is no evidence of God with any influence on our lives.  Whether or not some God created the universe is of no concern to me if it means I still end up rotting in the ground and that's it.

 
I wonder if more people would believe in God if the prevailing belief was that he exists and does not care about us. 

At least in the way we perceive "caring" to look like.

It's more that the way "God" is designed to care in most mythologies makes a solid circumstantial case for it being man's invention, whether gods exist or not.

Your posts on this board tell a different story.

And you're doing the lord's work there correcting obvious typos on the internet. :lmao:

My sister doesn't  She has no religious agenda, is the daughter of a research engineer who invented the grow light, but honestly considers science a belief system of little consequence that makes fusses which interfere with women's empowerment (thru weight loss, gossip and horoscopes) and pet love. It's why i decided i had to blog some troof.

Good news: It turns out all along our lives have just been one big reality show for someone else's entertainment.

Bad news:  We're getting canceled soon.

The world definitely exists for entertainment purposes: our own. Maybe God's, too, but definitely our own.
