Definition of God
DCA,
​
In a philosophy class back in college we came up with a working concept of what god should be. Very basic, hope it helps.
​
Whatever it is better To Be, than Not To Be, god would be the most possible.
​
Such as...is it better to know things or be ignorant? Knowledgeis better I would say, so god would know the most. I did not say all knowing or omniscient, because it may not be possible to know everything (ie. the future).
​
It's not selling out if nobody's buying.

Re: Definition of God
I like the idea, but it's pretty much entirely subjective. What is better to be for me would probably be radically different than what is better to be for Mike or Faith.
​
Yeah its subjective, but I think just about everyhing else your going to get will be subjective as well, and good many things you can agree on with Faith and MTW.
​
Such as:
​
Weak or Strong; Aware or Unaware; Good or Evil; Kind or Unkind....
​
Just in this list I think you guys would agree that it would be better to be strong, aware, good, and kind.
​
So god would be the strongest, most aware, most good, and most kind that it is possible to be.
