To be able to offer the most profound answers unencumbered from evidence, not feeling a twinge of self-awareness at the enormity of what one is offering.

What a great use of words! Outstanding response!!!

God lived in Hell. You know, that place under the earth's surface?

Oh wait, that doesn't work because the Earth was created by him, therefore God created hell.

God lived in black. We'll just leave it at that.

"If God Was One of Us"

If God had a name, what would it be
And would you call it to his face
If you were faced with him in all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

If God had a face what would it look like
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven and in jesus and the saints and all the prophets

And yeah yeah god is great yeah yeah god is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
He's trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if god was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
Just trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome

Well since he is all powerful he must have lived in a singularity which then did the big-bang thing

For this reason it IS possible to pray to God and get answers

So 'Santismo' does this mean God actually personally answers your prayers? Thats amazing!

So what did he say then when you asked him where he was before he made the universe?

Hey maybe he'll do me the courtesy of answering me if i asked him which (if any) is the right religion!

And of course, not only did god exist before he had the heavens within which his existence could be manifest but he was able to create such heavens from materials that also did not exist!!

And don't give me that "God is abundant in dynamic energy" crap unless you really want to get slapped down for not seeing the obvious.

stilla-exelder: this is a pretty popular theory amoung the quasi-religious "atheist" bunch (new age and all that):

"Well since he is all powerful he must have lived in a singularity which then did the big-bang thing" No comment, since I for one don't know what came before the big-bang thing. However, I will comment on this: I have an atheist friend, ex-scientology (but still kind of hangng on to it) who insists that we can track back into time and space and find the exact spot of the big bang itself in our current dimensional references. Sort of like in "47 Parsecs WNW of Alpha Centuari". No serious science book I know even hints that this is possible at all, but he wants to believe it. I think he is trying to replace his "atheism" with some kind of alternate theory. Hence Zenu and the L.Ron Hubbard thing. Also stubborn belief in area 51, Roswell, and little green thingies. Why is it so hard for some people to just say "we simply do not know"?
