Why so many "He" and very few 'shes" in the religions mentioned ? Is that because of too much testosterone in the religion ? Is it a proof that "The Supreme" is in man's imagination only ?
And not to mention "The Supreme Being" are realized by those who lived in the past and some belief is always needed .. cannot be seen and can only be realized .. rhetorics.
Even assuming he is for real and he is found out .. (just like some people claiming to have discovered anti-matter,black hole etc) what happens next ? Does our relationship with him change ? Will we still revere him ?
HI pizzalot, I shall try to share my opinion based on how little I know.
Anbuk kathir and others who are much more wiser can guide me wherever I am wrong.
Because one is complete or realised and other is not so!Quote:

No you need not worship. You can just say hello or hi or talk to theQuote:

so called supreme thing. There is nothing like 'something is supreme and other is not'. Definitely it does not EXPECT you to worship :).
suppose,
human + knowlege = wise person
human - knowledge = Ignorant person
human however REMAINS the same and IS THE SAME with or without knowledge.
So, the supreme being and the ordinary beings are ESSENTIALLY the same. Application of knowledge is limited or lacks in the ordinary beings.
There is NOTHING SEPERATELY called GOD, which u can term as HE OR SHE or a creature.Quote:

GOD is plain EXISTENCE.
God is NATURE. Most hes and shes are PERSONIFICATIONS of nature.Quote:

Right here, in this world, in current era, THERE ARE REALISED souls. They just dont say it out or talk about it (because it cannot be explained theoritically it has to experienced)Quote:

yes. Its ITS AN EXPERIENCE, not an entityQuote:
cannot be seen and can only be realized .. rhetorics.
We become THAT. Where is the question of revering something when EVERYTHING around is just THE SAME THING :?Quote:

Thanks Shakthi. Actually I know there is no correct answer. The ideas was to see how differently you see things based on your experience.
Now another question. God= Existance. God=Me. So I always existed, correct ?
So did I exist before birth ? As what ?
Answers may be given. But how do we know if it is true or false? What logic would one apply to it?Quote:

Brought Forward
Its kind of sad that the "Universal truth of God-Supreme" should be 'brought forward' now and thenQuote:
