This means that either God can be whatever you want it to be, one of them only is correct, there is one God masquerading as many, or they are delusional and even if there is a God, they have not necessarily come across it directly, but pretend or 'feel' they have.
You forgot to mention the possibility for all of them to be wrong.
As my God is all-loving, I have nothing to fear for God is all, making all loved by God.
I always wonder how could one believe that god is all loving while there is o much suffering in the world. Why would you even consider the existence of an all loving god while there are children dying during the first months or years of their lives? Either a god exists that does not mind suffering and doesn't care about justice, or a god doesn't exists. A just god would be very hard to reconcile with the reality we are seeing.
Yes, they can all be wrong. mentioned now, but a bit redundant. :)
I don't believe in God, so my imagined one is all-loving. when that one turns up and presents itself, all the suffering will end and I will ride my black, flying unicorn into the sunset.
LOL :D
I'm not sure I understand what is the point of the thought experiment of imaging one then? To show that even if you are wrong, it would be unlikely for a god to punish you as a disbeliever?
I think if there turns out to really be a god, it would be most surprising if that being would be all-loving. An all-powerful all-loving creator should have created a world with less suffering, death and injustice.
Thought experiments for me are just to get my mind working. Attempting to put myself in the mind of a psychopath doesn't mean I want to be one.
If there is a god, it is likely immature and bumbling like a toddler learning to master a complex task.
I see. Then we agree more than I initially realized, so I apologize for misunderstanding your sentiment.
You are forgiven my son. :P
Thank you, appreciated :D
