Many questions were asked in the ancient Hindu texts about the nature of Parama Atama (infinite soul, or Almighty) and Atma (soul). In the olden days, Gurus used to put these questions to disciples to test their knowledge. What is the constituent material of Almighty? All created materials are subject to decay and annihilation, Almighty is above the influence of decay and annihilation. He is eternal. Then is Almighty a void? In terms of material characteristics, Almighty is void (Soonya). Can this lead to the logic that Almighty is not there? No. Almighty is there. He is consciousness, the infinite consciousness. The Atma which is a finite piece of Almighty, according to Advaita Vedanta - the personal consciousness. Soul was created in the likeness of Infinite Soul. Since Atma is only a minute piece of Almighty, is it subjected to annihilation? No. Atma is also eternal.

He (and all the hundreds of thousands of others) was born of the combined imaginations, hopes, fears, dreams and longings of mankind.

The atheist Bertrand Russell wrote in his book "Why I am Not a Christian" that if it is true that all things need a cause then God must also need a cause. He concluded from this that if God needed a cause then God was not God (and if God is not God then of course there is no God). This was basically a slightly more sophisticated form of the childlike question, "Who made God?" Even a child knows that things do not come from nothing, so if God is a "something" then He must have a cause as well, right? God is not in the category of things that are created, or come into existence, or are caused. God is uncaused and uncreated - He simply exists. How do we know this? Well, we know that from nothing, nothing comes. So if there was ever a time when there was absolutely nothing in existence then nothing would have ever come to exist. But things do exist. Therefore, since there could never have been absolutely nothing, something had to have always been existing. That ever-existing thing is what we call God.

One of my favourite musings! ;-)

Yes. Throughout human history, gods have been created by humans to explain things we haven't been able to figure out. Not so long ago, humans looked up into the night sky and surmised that God was holding the stars up there. Today, as always, Christians, Jews, Muslims, et al., use God to explain everything that they can't (or won't) understand via rational means.

No. Because Almighty God didn't come from anywhere or was created. If God was created then he wouldn't be all powerful. The thing that created God would be. So, in the truest defintion of a God, in particular Almighty God, God would just have to be, always was / is. That is the reason we cannot imagine it. We live in a universe where things are created and destroyed. All our perceptions revolve around the understanding that anything / everything had a beginning and will eventually (due to entropy) come to an end. Almighty God did not have a beginning, yet he exists and always has. How do you imagine that? If you believe in God, you just have to accept it.

We can't. As a believer I believe that God always was, now is and forever will be. The only constant in the universe.

A creation of the world does not needs a creator ,

No, my imagination isn't as good as some....
-
We can't even understand the material universe we live in. How can we in an AB answer explain where the creator of it came from?
-
From Mount Olympus, naturally.
-
Yup. At some point our ancestors got smart enough to have an imagination. Somewhere between the wonder and the fear - possibly with the help of a magic mushroom or 2 - gods were born. +5

Thats why weve got macdonalds..

He didn't come. He was just breathing hard.

The truth is, It's hard for me to even imagine how God came to be. The only thing my imagination can produce is some kind of bizarre, unthinking forces came together trillions of years ago and formed this 1 superpower being. I believe that God was born somewhere in the universe. God owns everything that is, the entire universe, so it doesn't make sense to me to think that God came from somewhere else other than the universe that exists.

blows my mind

infinite

God "came" from nowhere as He always existed.
-
thats got to be the question that has caused so much death, destruction and war. the question has blood on it.
-
I do not believe in fairy tales. So it's not a problem for me.
-
No. All I need to know about God is that he is, and that he expects me to love him with all my heart and strength and mind, and to love my neighbor at least as much as I love myself. It keeps me so busy doing all that, I don't have time for much else. : )
-
That is like asking me how or when or where did the first atom come from. I think some things are not worth breaking a sweat over and getting a migraine. I accept my limitations as a human being. It makes for a happier life. :)
-
No, thinking about it is like trying to imagine an eternity that always was and always will be. I cannot comprehend it. So I don't try.
-
No, I don't think anyone can. In any case, God did not "come" from anywhere as He always was and is.

Do you like getting idiotic answers?
