the essential existential
Reason it is so hard to define atheism is harder than nailing jello to a tree because it does not exist. It is a negative. Negatives by themselves cannot be made into positives and are not only unproven but, as a held belief, they are illogical since a negative is just an inverted positive. Negatives exist as a concept but it is a concept that cancels itself out in actuality. The best that can be said for the future of atheism is that it is oblivion, which by itself does not exist by definition either and so it is not possible to realize since its' goals contradict themselves. They assume one does not predict any value in wanting to exist. If there is No essential Exit then there must have been No existential Entrance, so how did we get in here? But still, oblivion is very real and even attractive to many people, especially those who, not recognizing any hint of disappointment in their existence, are not dealing with life with any future hope of satisfaction, as it was with the college trained drinkers in my day. I mean, what were we thinking? Nothing as it turns out. And there is not much to be gained working toward nothing.
The title of this blog, God is the Spiritual Personification of Existence, is based on the first definition perception of ancient writers in the dawn of our known history.
Today's Supreme Being is not the original definition. First report accepted was God defined Himself as Existence. "I am that I am." He did not create existence, He is the fountainhead of Existence. Therefore, God is not only understood to be a Spirit, but also as the spiritual 'personification' of existence. This is a definition, not a theory.
There are both concrete and abstract forces, the seen and the unseen, such as gravity. There are spirits in bottles, spirits in words, spirits in us. The spirit animates everything, from gravity to emotion, as well as semantically. This blog is about defining the usually undefined term God, not religion, but what is meant by the term God.
There is one blog touching on religion, Church and Faith Pulpit Rock, about Christian atheism found in many churches, which themselves quite often have less to do with God or even religion for that matter, than they do with social entertainment.
The blog linked below, Specific Theory of Existence, takes us to essay attempts suggested by former atheists who are sensitive to atheist thought. They are exploring views relating to seen and unseen physics, the known unknown, with the unknown not yet known.
Other blogs, like Memory Stones about cemeteries, touch on other subjects of passing interest. That link and others can be found below. They are hosted by Spencer Corkum for the Sunset Strollers and the QuokeBlokes. They are not carved in 'stone' but may be continuously edited and updated. Davin Paralee, representing the Paraclete, is Editor in Charge.
All things seen come from the unseen and will return there. Since we know so little of all that can be known, in order to make a decision now it must be made in faith because we are deciding without all the facts. There are those who wish to survive the falling away of the body and those who desire slipping into oblivion which is a destruction of that which existed. This too is a spirit and cannot die.
Generalities speak to generalities and specifics to specifics. To intertwine the two is jumping categories, and a fallacy in logic.
An example of what a man says is an illustration of his argument, but it is not proof.
