 syncopath says: end of excerption: If god was truly conscious, and act as we might expect a human to, then he would put an end to the imbalance of justice--he would act morally. "But," Jung suggests, "he is too unconscious to be moral." Is God an individual?? If not, then the rest of this falls apart. If Jung tries to maintain that he understands who or what God is and attempts to do so within the limitations of the human mind he can only pretend he is working to a scientific conclusion. One can create a scenario and attribute some highest degree of moral standard to one man's understanding of what God is (assuming of course,that God IS) and if the God in the mind's understanding, falls short of the standards set forth by that same mind, then that same mind can convict that God of falling short or ....being unconscious. And the unconscious masses can be convinced by a popular and known "name" (Jung) that his notion of wha... Nice comment, davboz. If ANY MAN tries to maintain that he understands who or what God supposedly is and attempts to do so within the limitations of being human he can only pretend he is working to a rightous solution. To me, THAT is the most important point here. Well, this is interesting. I feel if humans would only emphasize practice as opposed to belief, they would move from convention to intention to put an end to the imbalace of injustice. How did the religion of Jesus become pro-rich, pro-war, and only pro-American? For Christians, it is a provocative question that shoud haunt us in wht often sems to be a Christ-forgetting country. The whole argument is preposterous. Omniscience requires no reflection. God cannot be broken into individual pieces, whether physical (self) or intellectual (thought). Not to mention the circular nature of the argument is elementary.. If God lacks, then God is If God is, Then by the definition of God, God is omniscient. |
