Do you think God and Donald Trump have a lot in common?

They both like to be worshipped. 

You do have a point there. :):)

I'm not a gambling person, especially against my friends but I bet if you gathered all the people around the world and asked who they would worship first, God, Dogs, or Donald Trump...
Dogs would be first
God would be a close second
and the leader of the US, Donald Trump, would come in third.

That would be my prediction.  Another nice thing is Dogs don't ask to be worshiped.  Go figure.

I lean something new about politics every night I"m on answerMug.

You bring up some excellent similarities.
I'll stick with worshiping dogs and cats but yours i am tucking away for future reference.
Thanks. :) :) This post was edited by Merlin at November 27, 2018 6:41 AM MST

It's even better to watch the news live.  But then again, you have to make sure it does not give you cancer in your cell tissues.

Anger is not healthy.  Trust me.  

Maybe you are right.  Get it homogenized and buffered.  

Have you considered that the mind you are so attached to is limited and therefore you see God that way?

There is a reason healthy, long-lived individuals eat clean and meditate.  It allows the temple to relax and contemplate. It shuts down the mind.  How can you possibly expect anyone to buy into such a small idea?

God is beyond ideas.   

It is sad that this is what you have to carry you through.  Why don't you get out of that little box of yours and see what is out there?  You don't even have to leave your door.  Just sit and allow your mind to shut up.  Then see what happens after.  It takes time.   It takes exercise.  It takes an OPEN MIND.

I eat clean and meditate daily. It was an open mind that enlightened me to the fallacies of God-belief and the outright fantasies that support it. 
Clearly, God IS an idea. 

I counter that that it takes one who thinks inside a little box to be an adherent to wish-based dogma, selective “logic” and outsized claims absent evidence.
Have you considered that you could have possibly been misled in your thinking? 
We will agree to disagree here. I am at least as certain of my position as you are of yours. This post was edited by Don Barzini at November 27, 2018 6:17 AM MST

  (cleanly)

Let it go, Randy, “eating clean” is a well-worn terminology. 

 Lots of incorrect usage is well-worn, that doesn't make it correct. 

Excellent reply!

Good one. Apt and succinct.

I have never heard anyone say that.
There is the philosophical question: {If God is all powerful} Could God make a stone too heavy for Himself to lift?
It's a conundrum, because answering either "Yes" or "No" limits God's power.
