Position:Home>Philosophy> Why did my question, "What is your definition of GOD?" get deleted by


Question:Yahoo deleted my question, but why? I had 17 answers in 2 hours. Does anyone know what part of the user agreement that violates? I must have missed the clause stating, " You may ask questions, just so long as they dont make people really think." I guess that says something about yahoo's definition of GOD. Funny word: GOD.

Some idiot probably reported it and he/she's just messing with you.

because people could get mad at eachother and some could get offended. maybe you said something...that was incorrect like "everyone that doesnt believe in God will so and so" but i dont think it was the best qu to ask on YA.

Must have been an "Act of God"

Yahoo didn't delete your question, a bunch of people with nothing better to do than report your question had it deleted.

The whole religion category is a pretty delicate one to be in at the best of times.

G=giving, O=oneness, D=destiny
So great is the deception of man, that the very means of his salvation has been hijacked to serve as a point of division between good people. So great is the darkeness that one thinks that which is indivisible can be rent asunder and divided endlessly. What one knows we all know. I AM THAT, I AM. You are the hater, you are the lover, you are me. I am the guy that complained, I am the guy that didn't complain. We are all each other.

some days ago my question was deleted too it was:
where do you live
well,maybe someone thought I was expecting a full answer but actually I wanted to know how many people are from where and I didn't care about their address
I think if i had asked my question clearly enough it wouldn't have been deleted
try to ask your question in another way or send it again

Shame on Yahoo if it removed your question. God is perceived differently by human.

POOF it's gone!

Sounds worth appealing. You get an extra ten points if they put iot back :-)

peace and love

i got reported like 6 times last night, some idiot is going crazy

I just reported this question. Just kidding. Did anyone's definition match your own? Maybe it was the word meat-flap, that sounds kind of gross.

Even the atheists have their nazis.

My personal definition of "GOD" is the source of all things, self-aware or not. But I can't use the word outside my own mind because it gets confused with all the Gods that miraculously mirror the ideas and opinions of their mortal followers. Personally, I don't see the benefit in a God that is no better and no more powerful than I am.

I prefer the scary, giant economy-size God that just steamrolls right over you when you try to dictate things yourself. THAT'S a GOD.

Your question is very valid. It should have been left to be answered. It is the biggotry of intolerance that perhaps led it to removal. However consider the following.

It is the creation that is posing the question. An entity with finite faculties of perception. This entity can imagine, but all its imagination is contained or limited by the limits of perception. Thus it is incapable to putting that infinite in the confines of definitions.

Humans try to define, but look at the definitions, they end up basically defining themselves.

However this much I may say, and you might consider, that per definition of almost all major religious philosophies, God is every where, means in everything, no place left without God, in turn means that all you can imagine and see, is part and parcel of that ONE, and thus all are GOD, but do not know. The scientific equation for the equivalence of energy and matter seem to uphold that view.

I answered that question. I noticed that and wondered. I'll answer it again to the best of my ability.

God is the ultimate consciousness in the Universe. According to Robert Nadeau and Menas Kafatos in their book entitled, "The non-local universe,the new physics and matters of the mind.", Oxford Univ. Press, N.Y. NY, 1999 on pp 197 and 198 they state that the evidence they have described shows the universe to be conscious in a philosophical sense.

That is pan-psychism, an ancient philosophy that seems to be coming true(?). If the universe is conscious then it must be alive and that would be a god or being but quite unlike us.

Good luck with your gods and your questions, good mental health, peace and Love!
