OF COURSE the concept was invented as well, by human beings. This is JUST AS OBVIOUS as the fact that the word God was invented, by human beings.Jing or Jang wrote: ↑May 17th, 2020, 1:52 pmYes.Not only the word God but the concept as well was invented.
But, as can be clearly SEEN, my question is asking 'was what thee concept itself IS OF' invented also.
Surely this could not be mistaken and misinterpreted by two of 'you'?
'Concepts', themselves, are a result of human thinking. So, OBVIOUSLY, in a general sense, ALL concepts are, so called, "invented" by human beings.
But whether what the concept, itself, in question refers to here, existed before human beings is what I am asking for.
Surely it is just PLAIN OBVIOUS that the word 'earth' AND the concept of what 'earth' is were invented and/or came about after human beings. And, what is just as OBVIOUS, well to me anyway, is the fact that what the concept of 'earth' refers to, actually existed prior to human beings. Now, do you agree or disagree with this?
If you agree, then does what the concept of the word 'God' REFERS TO exist before or after human beings evolved into creation?
So what?Jing or Jang wrote: ↑May 17th, 2020, 1:52 pm "Fate" "Luck" "Karma" "Faith" they were all invented because man wants to believe in a purpose and we don't want to wait to find out what it is.
And, who cares?
NONE OF THEM have absolutely anything to do with what I am pointing out, through clarifying questions.
Besides the fact that all these so called "things" are just human beings with a particular set of thoughts, what has any of this got to do with what I have actually said and asked here?Jing or Jang wrote: ↑May 17th, 2020, 1:52 pm Jews became Christians because they lacked patience for the arrival of "the Messiah", Catholics and Orthodox Christians became protestants because they couldn't take the responsibility of piety.
Okay, now that you have expressed your very strongly held onto beliefs here, and have made them very clear, what it is now that you want me to do with them? What has any of this got to do with the actual very simple clarifying question that I asked?Jing or Jang wrote: ↑May 17th, 2020, 1:52 pm Each and every one is a diluted result of the previous one but each is even more superstitious as time goes on because science consistently disproves religious fairy tales so new and more outrageous explanations are needed to divert the fear of death.
What does the word 'God' mean to you?
And, did that 'thing' exist prior to human beings?
