If he didn't what would be the point of creating everything?

>>13960197
Define "personality"

>>13960425
What kind of brainlet caveman needs a point?

>>13960197
God's "personality" is just a facet of him of which we know very little save for what He has revealed to us or told us. To define God's personality would be almost like 2 dimensional figures saying that a three dimensional figure is two dimensional. They are partially true because a 3d figure has facets that can be looked at as 2 dimensional but not entirely true (TLDR: a texture map)

its all most likely an accident or a simulation

simulation theory is a form of creationism, think about it

>>13960545
>simulation theory is a form of creationism
Simulation theory is just a way for Atheists (who realized they were wrong) to rationalize God.

Why do you think you have the capacity of fully understanding the most powerful being ever?

>>13960580
I dont. I just think I have a pretty good beat on the douchebag presented in The Bible and Koran

>>13960586
I'm sure you've extensively studied both

You need to have a personality to create elephants. Giraffes and quagga could be luck, but elephants are definitely personality.

Fuck no, the Bible was bad enough. Did you dipshits actually read all of that census? I mean, I skimmed it . But to actually read all that crap, who could be so masochistic?

I don’t think that tactic ever worked even when people were wrong and not completely aculeate like myself.

>>13960314
It would not be correct to say the Islamic God concept involves a "personality" or "butthurt"ness. Different story in the other 2 faiths though.

>>13960649
your opinion on books about whaling?

>>13960658
Herman Melville. First Rate. An author I would like to have a drink with, or even several. One would like to photograph his stockticker.

>>13960658
Probably more interesting than the Bible even for the uninitiated

>>13960699
Well yeah, Moby Dick is a lot better than the Bible. Unless you're feeling extra sentimental or you are short on time.

>>13960534
i cant see ovals all i see are projected circles

>>13960709
False. Is the Bible the foundation of western thought or is Moby Dick? Moby Dick couldn’t exist without the Bible.

>>13960758
Depends what you're going for, I guess. The Bible is obviously more important, while Moby Dick is more entertaining. I'm not presupposing a universe where only one of the two can exist.

>>13960197
Why wouldn't he?

You mentally handicapped, brain-damaged retarded swine, come back when your IQ enters the double digits

>>13960197
Just imagine it like this: You are God, let's say. You create a universe just for fun. You are still a being in and of yourself, though what you've created are not likely to fully understand what you are and how you work: even you barely do. The things you created act like assholes and not at all like what you want them to do. You'd likely get a little pissed at this point.
There's no reason a creator would have a personality. They would just happen to.

>>13960908
I laughed for 5 minutes straight

>>13960197
If a creator made all being, then by definition he must be more than his creation.
It isn't possible to create more than yourself. Some would probably argue that its impossible to create something equivalent to yourself.
As such God probably is not only a person, but a person on a level we can' t even conceive of.

>>13960197
Why wouldn't He?

>>13960197
Because semites are philosophical retards

>>13960425
Everything exists in parallel realities out of a basic emanation from nonexistence (nihilo). Nihilo is the blank canvas onto which reality is projected, but Nihilo can only serve this fundamental role by contrasting itself symmetrically with all the iterated realities on top of it. So everything is real, but nothing is realer.

>>13960197
good post. i've made up a theory that what we percieve as God is simply chaos, the great random, entropy itself in which we see patterns and rules only because of our own way of thinking

In order to interact with other personalities (humans). Whether or not the Most High is impersonal is a matter of debate but it seems to me like it must be so.

convert to the one true religion. Islam

>>13960197
Not necessarily a personality as such, but definitely some grander metavariant so that personalities can even exist in everything.

What are you talking about? Are you taking obvious metaphorical descriptions of God as literal?

One cannot create what has not already been begotten. A personality is merely a figment, a mere titillatIng tale that one weaves and spins in order to entrap the hearts of those he wishes to affiliate with. Is it wrong? Well it may be, but so is atrophying away in your chair as the working man pays taxes to his minister. What I’m trying to say here is this; you shouldn’t be worrying yourself to the if, but to the why.

>>13960524
what makes you think OP's projecting? I think he has a point?
i don't get the pic but it's pretty cool

>>13962428
No, he’s right. Its like saying to someone they can’t think professional wrestling is for retarded hillbillies unless they’ve watched 100’s of hours of WWF episodes.

>>13962478
No you don’t. You just think you do because you think you’re going to get something out of it

PERSONALITY =/= IDENTITY

>>13960524
Coordinate bases

>>13960197
The ultimate creator is nothing but a disturbance along a line. Nothingness can be represented as a continual flat line, and existence is an oscillation along that line. Whatever sets the notion of oscillation is irrelevant, as it has already happened and continues to happen until the inevitable decay of the universe we exist in. Thereby, the universe only seeks its continued existence. This manifests in more complex and evolved states of existence, leading up to the point we currently experience now, with humans being the most complex form (that we know of).

Humans are simply the tool existence used in order to further perpetuate itself so that it can create another universe in which it escapes its inevitable death, ad infinitum.
>what started this? why does something exist at all?
Coincidence, chance, luck. That is the only true form of randomity: the random possibility that something could exist. Now, out of fear of non-existence, existence is spelt out to forever continue its race ahead of the curve.
