I asked that because if it does, I would think it would not have the mere trillion or so connections of human brains but would be vastly larger, however it is organized or what it is organized with.
Just throwing out the idea that what we think of when we say 'compassion', 'love', 'justice', 'jealousy', and so forth may not come out the way we think about it when a god is involved.
What if this god has a brain. I would think it would have SOME kind of thought processing center, so it seems to me it would have a lot more connections than humans and may not even be limited to the speed of light if it is outside our universe.
So how could we ever know any godly attribute? It could tell us stuff and we could only take such things on face value, we would have no idea of any real motives different from that stated by this communicative god.
It may never communicate with us even assuming there IS such a god.
It may have just set up the conditions that made our universe and rolled the dice and let it do it's own thing, the god knowing in advance it would be a universe that allowed life.
We don't know any of that suppositional stuff so people are free to invent what they THINK a god would be like and we see that has happened time and time again. Of course, each religion thinks of its own god as the only true god, and of course they can't all be right. So how does one justify the idea THEIR particular god has any more validation than any other?
