'Being omnipresent' also relates to 'being present', that is; in relation to what is 'being observed'. SEE, what is observed is physical matter, and since, according to 'you', God is mandated to be connected through all being under observation, then this STILL fits PERFECTLY with what I have observed and with 'That', which UNIFIES and EXPLAINS ALL-OF-THIS.
Your definition of, and for the, word 'God' here STILL fits PERFECTLY, with what 'God' ACTUALLY IS. Which is NOT "all that exists".
If, and when, you become curious ENOUGH, then you ALSO will SEE and UNDERSTAND 'this'.
So, what you are essentially saying here is, to 'you', if 'you' perceive 'God' to be the SINNING and the WRONG, which ONLY adult human beings do, then that IS what 'you' ARE. However, if this is Wrong or Incorrect, then PLEASE feel FREE to CORRECT 'me' here.
LOL 'you' could NOT be ANY FURTHER from what thee ACTUAL Truth IS.
SEE, ' 'God' as the physical universe itself' is NOT some thing that I BELIEVE, NOR ASSUME, AT ALL.
That is what I have OBSERVED, which COULD BE COMPLETELY and UTTERLY False, Wrong, and/or Incorrect. BUT, I can ACTUALLY back up AND support this VIEW, with ACTUAL EVIDENCE and PROOF.
So, 'you' were COMPLETELY WRONG, AGAIN.
I have ALREADY AGREED with this.
And, by the way, I can ACTUALLY back this up AND support this with ACTUAL EVIDENCE and PROOF.
Okay, if you say so.
"FAILING" in 'what', EXACTLY?
Only being exists and being is good, sin is the absence of the fullness of being. So where the fullness of being is absent within a particular context, being still occurs and compared to Nothingness it is fundamentally good.
WHAT?
Since when has there been a, so called, "natural law", which has a conception or preconception of 'bad'.
IF the, so called, "formation of a child" is 'good' or 'bad', then this is ONLY because of what 'you', human beings, think or BELIEVE.
'good' or 'bad' are only views, or 'things', from and of human beings ONLY. For example, 'rape', itself, is NEITHER 'good' NOR 'bad', just like, 'the formation of a child is NEITHER 'good' NOR 'bad'. These 'things' HAPPEN, and HAPPEN NATURALLY.
What happens naturally is law given the being itself is law.
If you say so, then okay.
For one, where you wrote:
A definition of God includes "all that exists"
I do NOT agree with this. As EXPLAINED above.
Then clarify because your stance seems muddled.
'That', which you are (badly worded) "WRONG ON", is by starting a sentence with:
A definition of God includes "all that exists"
And then using 'that' OBVIOUSLY Wrong AND Incorrect definition to 'try to' "back up" and "support" ABSOLUTELY ANY thing else which you want to CLAIM is true.
I suggest that if you want to 'fight' or 'argue' against other human beings, then just use 'that' what is ACTUALLY True, Right, and/or Correct.
Again another muddled response, your position is not clear.
But I am NOT assuming ANY thing AT ALL like this what YOU CLAIM here. I have NEVER EVEN ASSUMED ANY thing AT ALL like this. In fact, I do NOT even agree with ANY thing AT ALL like this.
So, WHY have 'you' ASSUMED what 'you' have, HERE?
I have NEVER even said, let alone meant, ANY thing even remotely close to what you have said here. So, what the 'things' were which caused 'you' to come to ASSUME such a thing as 'you' have here, only 'you' would Truly KNOW.
So God is not strictly physical?

Also, EVERY 'thing' which is OBSERVED, or NOTICED, and EXPERIENCED imprints itself upon the 'psyche'. But how much or for how long is another matter.
And, if this IS CORRECT, and therefore is just YOUR OWN ASSUMPTION, then are you FULLY AWARE that 'ASSUMPTIONS', themselves could be COMPLETELY and UTTERLY False, Wrong, and/or Incorrect?
If no, then you are NOW.
We assume what is correct and false based upon there alignment or misalignment with prior assumptions. While assumptions may be false they may also be true, all is dependent upon the connection of one assumption to another.
NOW, remember that ALL ASSUMPTIONS are based on NOTHING AT ALL but just a GUESS, which ALL guesses can OBVIOUSLY be False, Wrong and/or Incorrect. I have informed 'you', enough times now, that EVERY time 'you' want to INSIST, and ARGUE, that ALL of Y/OUR VIEWS are grounded on ASSUMPTION, then this GUESS of YOURS could be COMPLETELY and UTTERLY False, Wrong, and/or Incorrect. Therefore, EVERY time you 'try to' INSIST the above 'you' are ALWAYS going to fall into this 'trap' of YOUR OWN MAKING.
False, assumptions are that which imprint one phenomenon onto another. I said this before.
Also, BE AWARE that until a view is BACKED UP and SUPPORTED, then it is essentially REMAINS only just an 'assumption', a 'guess', or just a 'theory', AND, by definition, YOUR ASSUMPTION and GUESS here MEANS that it will ALWAYS remain just an 'ASSUMPTION' and a 'GUESS', ONLY.
Therefore, 'you', "eodnhoj7", will ALWAYS REMAIN in YOUR OWN TRAP.
See above.
LOL 'you' have NOT EVEN got CORRECT what I have CLEARLY SAID, in WRITTEN, thus PROVEN WORDS.
I suggest using thee ACTUAL WORDS that I have USED, that is; IF you REALLY WANT to 'try to' use them to argue AGAINST 'me'.
ALSO, and by the way, ONCE AGAIN, I am NOT EVEN ASSUMING what 'you', AGAIN, CLAIM HERE.
Get back to 'me' when either 'you' use MY 'words' CORRECTLY, or when 'you' CLARIFY with 'me' FIRST.
Group agreement and acceptance is your prerequisite for that which is not assumed, yet not only is this an assumption on your part but it is relying upon group assumptions where multiple people assume the same thing.

The human origins of religion DO come from the roots of philosophic thought and secular reality, regardless. Anselm argued in a way to defend THAT the concept of totality is real. I found this fair.

Re: God and the Totality of Being as a Hallucination
A 'superset', not a 'subset'. That is, if a 'God' exists, it is a 'subset' of Totality, not the other way around. When Anselm argued using "that which nothing greater can be conceived", he was arguing for the existence of the concept we call 'Totality' MINUS any other extraneous properties. Thus his error was in TRANSFERING the meaning of the whole to some 'special' subset of it that is more complex, that he labelled, "God".Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 25, 2020 2:13 amTotality is a subset definition of God.

The difference between them, if considering ONLY some other meaning for "God" versus "Totality", is that the "God" has AT LEAST the loaded connotation that it has VALUE biased to being "good".
This is the Genesis reasoning for stating that X occurred, and then God saw that it was, "good", meaning that it satisfied an AGREEMENT between it and its creation.

Re: God and the Totality of Being as a Hallucination

Re: God and the Totality of Being as a Hallucination
The label, "Totality", is relatively an 'undefined' term, a 'variable'. Nevertheless, AS a 'variable', the description I've given is clear and NOT reliant upon any beliefs. You can start off by defining ANYTHING you experience as "Totality" (from your initial perspective), a tentative definition that equates:Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 25, 2020 3:19 amMy point is under totality there is no complete seperation.

God as beyond being, necessitates totality as a subset of God.
If I exist, label that "Totality".
If I discover that I am not alone, then REDEFINE "Totality" to refer to that which I AND whatever else exists as "Totality".
The generative altering of the definition acts 'continuously' without end. As long as you keep finding something MORE, add that to the newly re-generated definition, include "nothing" to this meaning, and you have MY definition using a dynamic process that actually mimicks your meaning.
If my meaning is 'religious', than so would absolutely everything by your interpretation. I disagree because the concept being tied to the Anselm meaning is INSUFFICIENT to describing ALL that is meant by the term, "God". And I pointed out that the EVALUATION of "God" as having an emotive meaning of 'good' versus 'evil' is what makes it religious. It says that 'evil' is a subset of an origin in 'good' and that Totality is equal in meaning.
If YOU still believe this is implicit in the meaning, you are just preventing me a label to describe a super-class label only. This is just as bad as the religious person who demands that if I accept the Universe as existing, then I MUST accept "God" as existing or I am not allowed to speak for daring to deny their definition (improper as it is) contradictory.
The "whole of everything" is not equivalent to meaning "God" or YOU are doing the false equivocating in the same way that Anselm argued.
Re: God and the Totality of Being as a Hallucination
The continual progression of one meaning to another necessitates the meaning of totality as eventually being "God" in the respect one phenomenon as progressive to another leaves all phenomena embodied under a simple term. The progressive definition may begin with "totality" or God but given the continuous stream of phenomena progressing to further phenomenon all phenomenon eventually equivocate to another thus necessitating any beginning point to the argument ("God" or "Totality") being one of relative choice.Scott Mayers wrote: ↑Fri Dec 25, 2020 3:46 amThe label, "Totality", is relatively an 'undefined' term, a 'variable'.

NOW, remember that ALL ASSUMPTIONS are based on NOTHING AT ALL but just a GUESS, which ALL guesses can OBVIOUSLY be False, Wrong and/or Incorrect. I have informed 'you', enough times now, that EVERY time 'you' want to INSIST, and ARGUE, that ALL of Y/OUR VIEWS are grounded on ASSUMPTION, then this GUESS of YOURS could be COMPLETELY and UTTERLY False, Wrong, and/or Incorrect. Therefore, EVERY time you 'try to' INSIST the above 'you' are ALWAYS going to fall into this 'trap' of YOUR OWN MAKING.
False, assumptions are that which imprint one phenomenon onto another. I said this before.
So, are you REALLY now 'trying to' ASSERT and INSIST that YOUR OWN ASSUMPTIONS could NEVER be WRONG?
No I am defining assumption.
I did, after all, just say; REMEMBER that YOUR ASSUMPTIONS could be WRONG. And YOUR RESPONSE to this is; ""False ...""
If that is NOT what you are 'trying to' ASSERT and INSIST, then what are you 'trying to' ASSERT and INSIST by YOUR, "False ...", response?
See above.
What for?

LOL 'you' have NOT EVEN got CORRECT what I have CLEARLY SAID, in WRITTEN, thus PROVEN WORDS.
I suggest using thee ACTUAL WORDS that I have USED, that is; IF you REALLY WANT to 'try to' use them to argue AGAINST 'me'.
ALSO, and by the way, ONCE AGAIN, I am NOT EVEN ASSUMING what 'you', AGAIN, CLAIM HERE.
Get back to 'me' when either 'you' use MY 'words' CORRECTLY, or when 'you' CLARIFY with 'me' FIRST.
WHY would you ASSUME and SAY such a thing?
These are your words.
NOT AT ALL.
Again, WHY would you ASSUME and SAY such a thing?
But this could NEVER be "an assumption on my part" because this is NOT "my assumption". This is YOUR ASSUMPTION ALONE here.
I NEVER said ANY thing at all that would even resemble such a thing as this. You have just JUMPED TO THIS FALSE CONCLUSION, which was based on YOUR PREVIOUS FALSE ASSUMPTIONS.
If you would care to READ AGAIN the ACTUAL WORDS that I used, then you MIGHT SEE DIFFERENTLY.
"ANY argument that uses words that are NOT "assumed" to mean some 'thing' but which are ACTUALLY AGREED WITH and ACCEPTED to mean some 'thing' IS an example of an argument which is NOT grounded in an ASSUMPTION."
This necessitates group agreement as truth and acceptance of the group as the assumption of the group.
