It's a dilemma because as a sentient being, your reconciliation of the very IDEA of 'God' is just the beginning; and, hehe, good luck with that.
Then agreeing with a common idea (between just two people in conversation) for what exactly God represents, now the discussion can turn to what INFLUENCE this idea of God has in our lives...
It's rabbit hole after rabbit hole, the design of which could surely lead to madness were you to attempt to come up with a thoroughly logical argument.
As Nietzsche would argue,
"If the presuppositions of a theory have been invalidated, then the theory has been invalidated."
With no way to validate ANY of the presuppositions on the very idea of God, then perhaps God IS dead --- From the position of logic and science.
The human spirit, however, is older than science, which (arguably), is still in its infancy.
Here is a clip of Jordan Peterson I posted over a month ago:
I'm going to repost my blog entry which addresses the profoundly difficult nature of this question, and I hope that those who reply in the comments section try this:
Make a post about your answer so that more people may see it.
I received such wonderful and well thought out replies that should have had the opportunity for others to see as well.
If you feel inclined to reply to this post with more than just a line or two, I encourage you to write a post with your thoughts, and simply comment below with "Powerful Craiggles! My answer on my blog"
You'll get the Steem rewards, and rightly so; the question of God minus the pollution of ideology is such a bloody important discussion!
The more we are willing to explore this question, the better off we'll all be.
