Divine Humans do not count in this one.  I am only interested in people who have no more Divinity than the rest of us.  Why would you choose who you did?

I'm becoming obssesed with Leonard Da Vinci, so I'm going to say he is the greatest Non-Divine Human to ever live. \n\n\nDa Vinci was an architect, musician, engineer, scientist and inventor. He sketched the first parachute, first helicopter, first aeroplane, first tank, first repeating rifle, swinging bridge, paddle boat and first motor car. Da Vinci designed machines of war as well. He was one of the first artists to sketch outdoor portraits. Da Vinci was a sculptor and designer of costumes. He was also a mathematician and a botanist. \n\nI think he is proof that the mind, not technology, impowers us.

i'm not one of those people you described but i'm wondering why do you go to this site and ask people their opinion if you are not willing to listen to what they want to say? stay away or be respectful of the beliefs of others. go figure! peace, love & unity. cheers!

From what anyone religious icon can, r will, tell us, God has always existed, and that nothing had to create it.  I have asked the same question, and I always come back to Roman and Greek mythology, in which each God/Goddess has parents.  However, if there only is one God, and there were parents, then you have to ask: What happened to the parents?  In my opinion, this question is too difficult to be answered until we can (if we can) ask God itself/himself/herself.  Whenever you find an answer to one question, another pops up.  However, I must say this is a good question.  There are not many good ones out there, so congratulations.

I like your logic, and I agree.  I believe all gods are one God, just different names/aspects.  The supreme ruler is an IMMENSE being, and mere humans with our human brains cannot possibly interpret the whole thing as it is.  So we look at aspects of the supreme being.  I see one part, and you see another part.  But we're seeing the same Being.

Why, yes, I did know that.  But, that also makes your question somewhat meaningless:  I could just as easily ask of you, 'Your Allah is called God.  Why don't you worship Him Alone?'  See how that changes exactly nothing about the actual theological differences we have?  :)

I am sorry to not be able to offer better company. If it is of any relief, I did meet one guy a long time ago who was a true atheist. His belief was that mankind would be better off the sooner they realized that a higher power was neither existant nor necessary. I was intrigued to find someone of such a like and opinion. Although I do not agree, I did respect his thoughts and beliefs. Unfortunately, the rest of the class overheard and went off on him. I had to apologize for it was not my intention when I first asked. So, no, you're not alone.

Yet everyone claims that exact same God is the all-loving God of the New Testament. Why the 360 split personality? Also, there is no middle ground between the two. I find it very hard to believe that Gods of other cultures were the same.

I agree with you completely.  That's why I don't post questions about what I believe.  In most cases it is pointless.  If I see a question that ties in with what I believe I will answer it to the best of my ability though.\n\nAnd to your question, We are all manifestations of the ultimate consciousness.  Some of us just choose to seperate ourselves from it.  I guess they feel inferior or superior to it.  Very strange.

I'm with you brother. Although I'm not fond of Christians claiming they were "born again" I have often wondered what keeps atheists going. According to them, our only purpose is to be born, grow, reproduce, and die. Where's the fun in that?

We have been here a long time.  Over the centuries, your planet was a curious place to visit once or twice and was not considered very interesting . Sure, your wars showed us how undeveloped you are as a species.  Your infantile,(in cosmic terms) dependence on god concepts does not bode well for you and neither does your penchant to breed beyond your planet's ability to sustain you. We are now showing an interest in you because it is not often that we get to observe a species commit suicide. You are so close to maturing as a sentient species and it will be a shame to see you kill yourselves. There are just not enough of you becoming rational enough to force the issue. You let the least among you determine your fate, so be it.

None. i'm an atheist. And I don't know what my destiny is because i don't believe that you can tell the future and you never know what's going to happen tomorrow (or in a year). respect is important. But it doesn't make it beautiful.

*laugh* I'm sorry, but this struck me as funny. I'm not sure if you're serious or not. But try http://www.beliefnet.com, maybe the Belief-O-Matic (First link on the top left) will give you a starting point. \n\nYou don't have to travel. The Gods are everywhere and in all of us. It is simply up to each person to select which one(s) to pay homage to, or not.

I do not agree.  What I think would be nice would be for each of us to open our mind, be tolerant of the different religions and beliefs and respect each others diversity and learn from others. I practice my freedom of choice by ignorning hateful, blasphemous and disrespectful questions on this forum.

There needs to be more of that around...Your race, religion, and nationality shouldn't matter. I'm a white Christian, American. I am proud of that, but I love everyone who's not the same. No one person is allowed to say who is better. Thank you for posting this. Peace to you. Keep up the unity!!!!

I don't feel that I need to prove my existence and I'm not nearly as powerful as God is!\n\nThe world is a big place and I live in Kansas City.  I'm not sure where the people reading this question and answer tree live, but it's pretty darned likely that I have never met any of them.  Do you believe that I exist?  Is this posting "proof" that I exist?  Could it be faked?  Sure.\n\nGod has sent us messasges through prophets.  God has worked miracles.  God has spoken to many of us.  God has answered our prayers and still people say "there is no proof" -- why is that, I ask.  Why is that.

I think God does not intend for us to "worship" him (and I say "him" for lack of a better word)  I think the supreme entity that designed this whole universe did not just create us but every thing else in the universe.  This God is pure love.  Total and complete.  He knows no jealousy or is worried about good versus evil.  It's really kind of a silly idea to him.  There is no hell because in his infinite wisdom and infinite love he would never even concieve of such place.  He is the ultimate and we don't even have a clue.  All the Gods here on earth are manmade and when a person worships a particular god in a sense they are worshipping themselves.

the purpose of human life hmmm..even i wonder that...well acc. to our philosophy there are 8400000 species of living forms on earth...of which only the human form has the ability to perform an action or "karma" so we have been given this chance to liberate our souls or thoughts whatever u may call it "aham" or "I".... to get rid from the cycle of birth and rebirth ...that's the purpose...how we got here....coz the universe if u look at it as a single entity...it decided somehow to divide and keep dividing...that's how we were born....when we die nothing great really happens except that it depends on ur actions and the extent to which u have reined in or let loose ur thoughts...it really depends on "U" ...death is just a door to another realm of existence....is there a god...mmmmm no...and yes....a god in the physical sense no ... and god as in the whole universe (including YOU) as a single entity ...that's god...hip hop is good at times for me :) well neither the 50 cents nor the game for me...i'm indian :) before we were born .... we were souls fighting with other souls to grab that oppurtunity of human birth when the seed was laid....the universe is infinte ...no one knows the size ....not even god.....something like ...do u know how good can u be????....:) \n\nhope this answers at least some of ur doubts...
