Who is god? (Non religious post)
Ok so a couple of posts recently have prompted me to ask a few questions.
Thiests, please suspend your disbelief. This being is not YOUR god. Just as I suspend my disbelief and think of this god I do not believe in, so should you for the purposes of this thread. A being comes before you, and somehow convinces you that he is capable of anything. He can do some sweet miracles, and certainly appears capable of creating a world or two. BEFORE he inivitably asks you to do something that goes against your morals, as a test of faith or whatever, who do you assume this being is? What do you assume his values are? Are they any more moral than your own? Do you consider him good? How good? Why?

Unconditional love. The full circle. But it isn't a "who".

Please elaborate - I don't understand. The OP is not a leading question - you do not have to worry about traps.
Also, this being has not come before you and said 'I am god.' or anything. He is not your god from the bible. (If you are a Christian, which I believe you are?)

I wouldnt go so far as to say I'd assume he was God. I'd suspect it though (and would ask him).
Power doesnt itself imply morality, so from what you've written so far, I dont have much clue as to his morals.

Call it positive and negative, love and hate, good and bad, god and satan, they are all one and the same. Each is describing the same thing, just different words, perception, images to describe this cause and effect order that makes up everything that is.

Re: Who is god? (Non religious post)
Hitch,
The imagined god is something that people project their fears and desires onto. For example: When there is nobody in your life you can trust your feelings to; not your parents, not your family, not your friends, not anybody, then you're going to imagine an invisible friend who you *can* talk to. So you're approaching this from a wrong angle. Theists can't possibly think about moral natures of invisible beings because their invisible beings are part of their twisted and destroyed nature.
