> DAVID (responding to BBella): GOD is energy, just as you suppose, and since everything is energy, God is everywhere. [...] God is organized energy.
> The disagreements begin the moment anyone tries to impose attributes on that energy or force. Claims that it is conscious of itself and of us, that it deliberately and specifically set out to create humans, that it even loves humans ... that's where we all go in different directions.-If we have consciousness and intelligence, it is not difficult to think that a universal intelligence would be similar to us. How many kinds of intelligence can there be: Cruel, thoughtless, devious? Then why bother to fool with creating us or observing us? I think one can think sensibly about what the intelligence might do? Love us, no way to know? All the other religious attributes: omniscience, knowing past and future, maybe; omnipotent, very likely, having made the universe; and so forth. Some guesses will be better than others, but qwe will never know for sure if any of our guesses are correct.
