You just described biological processes (even money as power), which have very little to do with "being your own god". That's just... being driven by physiological needs.

Please, only Siths deal in absolutes.

I'm thinking of it more like this. If there's a creator, then there would have been a time where he and only he exists. He had no materials to build with, only himself.

Yeah, I think you're on the right track.

Isn't taking care of one's physiological needs akin to satisfying one's god? I am speaking of god as being a master, with god's subjects being the servants. So, in this way, you are your own servant, and you will punish yourself if you don't fulfill your needs, e.g. you will die of hunger or thirst, or you will die due to a lack of oxygen.

The only thing that makes us special is our sentience, which the majority has wasted not worrying and loving the bomb, so if there is a "higher power" then there'll be a special place reserved in hell for humans. But no, on the whole, I don't think we have a divine spark or soul etc.

Yes.

Unless there is a standardized god that I am not aware of.

Pretty much this.

So, whenever I'm naked and looking in the mirror, God can also see me naked?

Well there is, yes. God is a term used to describe a metaphysical entity that bears relation with humanity/the universe. If you're going to change it to mean human physiological need then you're just bastardizing the word.

Yeah there's that, but that's no physical manifestation (which I thought was the point of the thread). Also, I'm sure we could both name any number of novelists who fail to portray their own character in their books.

I haven't thought through this very properly, then. My apologies.

i was raised catholic and under the impression this was almost a universal in religions whether abrahamic or not. maybe not some protestant stuff. but matthew 25 sticks out:

Quote:

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

obviously, i guess you can interpret it saying god just wants people to look out for the poor and disadvantaged. but i've seen it presented as god is in every person and so what we do to them, we do to god. in other words, the thing that separates us from animals is our superior intellect. intellect is that spark of divinity. i can't remember which theologian/philosopher had a good argument about this. probably aquinas. i used to have some pretty profound shit with which to expound upon this, but i forgot. i've retired from talking all this anyway. at least on UG.

OT: We are not special, and destiny, gods, souls or afterlife do not exist. This can be said as fact because there's no proof of any of those things.

Yes we are and it'd be ridiculous to say otherwise.

If you don't think you're better than a pig, maybe you're not.
