I have run this same thread on another forum
I though it might be helpful to post it here too.
I answered the questions asked as follows
Our body is an association of atomic elements.
We are conscious.
Therefore atoms are responsible for initiating consciousness.
Are you being deliberately obtuse or just trying to sound smart?
True to a degree. Different cultures gave God different names and tried to analyze His Divine attributes as best they could.
Prior to the invention of a universal Godhead, every single clan had their own version of God. Each believed that their clan founder was the only Divinely appointed son of God. For a national order to evolve, all clan totems had to be devalued and the Divine appointment focused on a single king. Scripture served a dual purpose. It nationalized the clans and kept the heart of man believing in spirit.
Sure, most religions personalized God. In the beginning while trying to build a national consciousness, how were religious teachers to convince the clans to let go of their own totemic images if they had said God was an abstraction of Concsiousnes? They needed something more personable.
The Buddha was only able to depersonalize the Godhead thousands of years after the Upanishads and Vedas had become standard teaching. He advocated a metaphsyical seach for Truth, which most of Asia subscribed to until modern times.
Aristotle was born around the same time. Established nationhood also allowed him to challenge the conventional personalized view of the godhead. He advocated a phsyical search for Truth - and initiated the scientific method of universal enquiry that the whole world is still engaged in today.
Yes. And that is a necessary evolutionary step.
Just as Bronze Age clan totemism had to be put aside in order to advance Iron Age nationalism, so does the dogma of written scriptures need to be put aside in order to advance Steel Age internationalism.
What I am saying now is that Steel Age Protestation/Atheism has to be put aside in order to advance a global consensus of spiritual Belief. Science is the only method we have of combating religious fanaticism. Esoteric anomalies appearing in quantum mechanics experiments are in the advanced stages of getting all people to realize that we are waging jihads over the same Godhead..
Yes they are.

Explain what "One Consciousness" means in your mouth.
Our body is an association of atomic elements.
We are conscious.

"MagnetMan"= Right now the same Godhead simply functions under different aliases.
How convenient for you. He must be a very schizophrenic individual ....

Every single one of these "godheads" was a fabrication of the people who invented it.

God did not create man; Man created god - in his image.

And man has killed god, through Atheism.
Yes. And that is a necessary evolutionary step.

"MagnetMan"=The moral values of all cultures are basically the same.
No they aren't.
