The original perfect human only exists as an ideal. It has no concrete existence.

Umm.. so there's nothing to imiagine? God is for you a non-entity?

If I recall correctly, in Plato's Timaeus, God is conceived of as the form of pure Good -- to which, added Aristotle, all forms aspire.

God is a concept. A mental projection. It exists entirely in the imagination. It is a non-entity.

Sounds good.

But my references to Plato are meant to be taken very loosely. I am not necessarily defending a Platonic system and I do not wish to become bogged down in a discussion about Plato.

I imagine God as being more loving & forgiving than man's mind will allow.
I believe around His throne are all of these colors that we've never seen before. I see God in a very regal way. A king on his throne.

Me too I have the feeling that "god" is merely a concept.
But even if it exists solely in the fantasy/ imagination of the Human, it is still a product capable to produce miscellaneous behaviours within the World II of the Human, therefore it becomes a living entity which it is capable to produce a specific social status at the World I based on the concept of the religion although it is a non-existent entity.

So when we are talking about "god" we are merely in front of a delusional concept that it became powerful enough to produce a specific Human attitude (quite tell-telling for the IQ and EQ potential of the Human)

My dear Lady yim,

It seems to me that "god" is just an invention of the Human, just as our obnoxious brother Bosse de nage offered earlier;

It sounds good because it is accurate;

Regarding your references to Plato, I hope that they are not meant to be taken as loosely as your references regarding the ...socialist nature of Jesus🙂
But anyway it is very wise of yours to avoid a discusion (or a debate) about Plato overall😵

I wanted to clarify weather you imiagine God as nature like a pantheist dose (or my understanding of a pantheist after reading wikipiedia just now). Since you did post that your imiage of God includes '..every galaxy and solar system known and unknown. It is all the 'dark matter' and every little nuance or anomolie that can be percieved. God is all the dimensions and every little grain of sand..'
