175. The OT one?
Edited on Sat Jun-17-06 10:25 PM by bloom
I'll assume you mean that you wanted feedback on this:

Finally, as for my concept of God, I can sum it up in three words - a pre-axiomic infinity.

I don't really know how I can explain this, so perhaps the best approach is for you to ask questions, but it covers things like not having to follow the laws of physics, and even the smallest part being beyond human comprehension. It is pretty thorough, but means that we can only attempt to ascribe characteristics through what that God has revealed to us....


I don't know what to say - except that your post kind of makes me think about how difficult it is to put these things into words that make sense to other people - but I do think it is worth trying anyway.

I think that there is a lot of chaos and random chance to the world. I think it makes people strive for stability - just so it doesn't seem too crazy.

I looked and I was surprised that there isn't a more developed philosophy based on chaos. (Your mention of physics reminded me - I had been researching this the other day).

There is Discordianism - which is pretty crazy - and this is a pretty funny to read through - but it wasn't what I had in mind.
