'God's Debris'
Omniscience has to be pretty boring. But could God see past his own end? What if he annihilated himself to find out? What if *that* was the Big Bang? What if human beings are "God's Debris"?
What if all religions, all efforts at holiness, all efforts to seek God are -- well, the remnant bits of God trying to reassemble Himself?
This is a free e-book. It comes with the ER Seal of Approval. Check it out. In a week or so, maybe we can talk about it.
Get "God's Debris" (pdf).

There is a fascinating visual representation of this premise about God. It is the statue of Vishnu as the Nataraja (Lord of the Dance). It shows the disagregation of Bhrama into the cycle of being of the universe and then the cycle of multiple universes in a circle.
But here once again, is "God's Debris" built on a principle of anthropomophism? Are we attributing human "boredom" and the concept of human "experience" to the oversoul? The next question then is why would "God" have to destroy himself to create anything? We are insiting on the laws of physics here aren't we? And the second question is, in that physics indicates that there may be infinite universes our there how does this model fit that?
Say Redneck, want to start a thread on this? Hell I'll read the book and comment, just so long as I don't get blamed if you go all Hindu on me. Got any other takers?

Drlobojo, that's the point. In a week or so, I'll bring it up again, and anyone who has reasd it, and those who haven't but still want t5o talk about the idea, can do so.
And Anon, I don't know where you would get such a thought based on what I've said on this blog in the past year. God is more real to me now than in 15 years at least; I am an active part of a community of believers; I've volunteered to serve on some committees; heck fire, I'm even giving money, striving toward an actual tithe, for Christ's sake (not uttered in ain, but for real).
So, what in THE heck are you talkin' about? In Christian liberty, I fear no idea -- including the idea that is the premise of this book.

Some gods are good to kill off. The god of status quo for status quo's sake. The god of materialism. The gods of our creation.
And some gods, when you keep them cooped up in a tiny box, die of inattention and boredom. And that's probably just as well, too.

"Omniscience has to be pretty boring."
Paul Atreides said, "To know the future is to be trapped by it"... Well, Frank Herbert actually. But the hated Atreides speaks from a human perspective; it is against human nature to experience omni-science... Not so with God.
"I fear no idea"...
Okay, but what about fearing the effects of heretical views on the unregenerated? Ideas are surely frightening in that sense.
"I think all organized religions, actually, are the ass."
Perhaps, but let's be clear-- Christianity is not a religion.

I fear no ideas. Period. God's grace is the grease-cutting Dawn dishwashing liquid of the universe. It can cut through anything, in other words.
Christianity absolutely has denigrated to a religion! That's what's wrong with it. *Within* Christianity, the religion, are some people with a relationship with God through Christ.

I discovered God's Debris a few days ago, and I like the idea of us being God's Debris - although it's not original. I must admit that I began analyzing every statement very suspiciously after reading the evolution-part, because that was clearly nonsense. Not just philosophically, but factually. It's still an interesting thought experiment though, I've recommended it on my weblog; http://lackofsound.blogspot.com/
