Ha! I think the image that the cartoon references is older than the book.Jersey Girl wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 5:25 pm
STOP IT. Did you know there's a children's book called Duck! Rabbit!?
Whoever created that cartoon ripped off the book.
I can't get my image to post. Here's a link to it.

I did take a few minutes to look for this. I found a Catholic site focus.org but despite some wandering around did not see the app you mention. I am not sure I want to spend much time with this app.but am willing to check it out. I also do have some doubts that the noodle believers hear as well as the spaggetti folks.malkie wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 3:23 amDo you want to be the one to tell the folks at focus.org that their app is as likely to confirm the existence of, and allow communication with, any (or all!) of the other gods because they are all the same, even though their believers ascribe totally different characteristics to them?huckelberry wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 2:21 amMalkie, a variant point of view,
I am not aware of any reason to think there is more than one god. I know there are different names and doctrines and representatives but I cannot see those as creating different gods. Pastafarianism may well have a more meal orientated cult than others but that does not generate a new god. Some folks may favor noodles while others spaghetti. Even if the noodles go to war that does not divide God.
What does that literally mean?
Why? Concretely, why is a concern in your god our ultimate concern?… and our ultimate concern.
What kind of being, literally, is doing this - this goes back to my original set of questions.That could be said creator of heaven and earth and the creator of our nature which cares. I think that is one thing whether it is a willing planning force or if it is the ultimate equations in physics.
Here we are back into existentialism which defines our relationship with the world that doesn’t require a relationship with a being that is defined by our own values. It just requires we act in the world and with the world authentically and in good faith, which ironically I don’t view a deity doing in any meaningful manner.(by ultimate concern I mean the values you have in yourself not religious teaching)
Fine. If you say so. I think I criticized you for this on the other thread. I think it was you. I've got to go.Morley wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 5:38 pmHa! I think the image that the cartoon references is older than the book.Jersey Girl wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 5:25 pm

Doc, I hardly mind being back into existentialism. You might consider the possibility my definition of God is more of a statement of what god is not than particulars of what god. After all I mentioned that ground of being could as a possibility be just the ultimate equations in physics. Well that would have to be the structure the equations describe. Neither you nor I know what that structure is or if it makes sense to call it material. It would be the ground of being unless it was based upon something deeper.Doctor CamNC4Me wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 5:57 pmUp front, I want to point out I’m not being facetious when I ask the following:

my own view would be more of an unresolved discussion between Panentheism , classic Christian theology and naturalism.With any of these , well i might wander further some occasions I would like to keep the existential basics noted above.Doctor CamNC4Me wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 8:20 pmHrm. It appears your philosophy falls into pantheism. Am I wrong?
