After I die, wherever I go, I want to hear this song

All this has happened before ... and all this will happen again.

@veritas89g Oui.

I agreee with you... I feel like BSG was trying to tell us that "God" is beyond human comprehension; such a force cannot be monopolized by religion. Instead of one philosophy claiming the "true" knowledge of God, all of our experiences is noted by some kind of intervention that leads to a meaningful realization that God is working for the betterment of all things... human or otherwise. Humility is a requirement. We are not the center of the universe.

@Ghats212 I wholeheartedly agree...

@flockofseagulls87 "Honestly, when's the last time you've been laid?" Pathetic. You are 24 years old. I would expect a comment like that from someone my age. Two-thousand years is insignificant in juxtaposition to the time period of modern human existence. Belief systems have existed since even the Neanderthals. You aren't even worth my time. You're just stating random facts about your religion that don't prove anything.

Might I suggest to you that instead of skimming through a first grade understanding of the world religions in an attempt to discredit them and elevate yourself, actually try to plumb the depths. You might actually be surprised at what you find. I would also use simple language in a youtube argument. Flowery vocabulary doesn't help much when your "ratiocination" is unoriginal and about as rational as a bag of hammers.

@therealonethistime The most childish concepts of the divine often come from those who seek to discredit it the most.Traditional Christian theology, for example, has understood this unconscious anthropomorphic projection for two thousand years. Hence the pseudo-dionysius calling for the destruction of all archetypes when contemplating God. Or Aquinas stating that in god essence and existence are synonymous, and that this essence is unknowable to the human mind.

[flockofseagulls87]

@therealonethistime On the contrary. Using words like "ratiocination" on a youtube comments board for a piece of the soundtrack for a sci-fi television show tells me that you are quite afraid to deal with the world. Honestly, when's the last time you've been laid?

@flockofseagulls87 Humans, with limited knowledge, looked out into the vast universe having no answers. Seeing nothing capable of explaining how this occurred, they began to project their own intelligence onto the cosmos through personification. This is easily exemplified by polytheism, where deities are driven by emotions and carnality (just like humans). Over time, these baseless beliefs have changed, but they are still baseless nonetheless.

@flockofseagulls87 The past participle form of arise is "arisen." I could say that the universe was created by magical Barbie fairies. Even though nothing specifically suggests this, the concept exists. Using the mere existence of a theory as proof to support the theory itself is a logical fallacy referred to as circular reasoning. Also, attacking my intelligence only serves to make you seem incapable of proper ratiocination, which further evinces the idea that you are driven by fear.

[flockofseagulls87]

@therealonethistime If there was nothing to suggest the existence of God the concept would not have arose in the first place. Intellectual one upmanship only works if you actually have one yourself.
