Not a single iota of difference. I, of course, wait in anticipation for proof of 'this ultimate being', as many atheists do. Respect changes like the path of a wind!
If there was such a thing as a God then it would have given us a clear indicator of its existence. Alas, it is never forthcoming. Even if it does exist it clearly recognises its errors, and is afraid of the Frankenstein it created. 😛
Originally posted by JS357 Great question. What would any god worthy of worship, not out of fear, want us to answer?
Why would this 'super God' want us to answer anything? I am shown by all theists here that it is the ultimate and knows everything. If that be the case, I don't need to answer to it.
What exactly is worthy of worship? I think 'mummy' comes before a paradox such as a God.
And so to the old argument, if God created my 'mummy' and so forth, who created God?
God is a simple word, an idea. Some people decide to make the word complex, as we are assumed to know little about words. 'Trigger' is a much more complex word than a word such as 'god' or 'bottle opener' which hold the same evaluation in many peoples' lives. 😏

-m.
`bottle opener' is a far more useful word than `god' - indeed, next time you're at a party and you've got bottles of beer, substitute god for bottle opener and see how it goes! (certainly God won't be opening any for you!) ;]

Originally posted by avalanchethecat I'm sceptical about your position regarding cheese...
I make my own cheese. I curdle the milk, drain off the whey, press the curds and thereby bring a new cheese to life. To those cheeses, I am a living god.
