Are the any comments, I really do not know, and probably neither does anyone else. Just thought it would be fun to discuss!

The idea that we could exist seperate from God has never made any sense to me.

If we could exist seperate from God then we'd be a god in our own right.

The very idea of being separated from God and still existing just doesn't make any sense to me at all. It would imply that we are something other than God.

But if we're something other than God then exactly what would we be?

So yes, I'm inclined to believe that 'god' or the life force must always be a part of us. Without it we would not be able to exist at all.

The very idea of a God that could send souls to hell seems to be a very strange idea I think.

Moreover, what purpose would it serve. If it doesn't do God any good, and it certainly doesn't to the person being sent there any good then what good is it?

About the only thing it's good for is a scare tactic that men use to make other men cower down to their religion.

Seriously, that's all it can be.

It makes no sense in the bigger scheme of things IMHO.

So I suppose I lean toward "god" being a collective, if you want to call it that.

All is one, one is all.

There can be nothing else, for if there was, what would it be? That very notion implies that there is something other than God. But that seems to fly in the very face of the notion of God to begin with.

Yep, pantheism seems to make the most sense as far as I can see.

God points! I also have a hard time believing that God will send people to hell! or at least very many. I just started studying this one area specifically a few years ago. So far I have found that there is probably some sort of hades or hell or something but that it is reserved for evil itself, or Satan if you will. Other wise how do we explain "father forgive them for they know not what they do"
