Is This Strange Man On To Something? Your Lord And Savior

"God's love is... creative, it's not reductive. It brings things forth; it doesn't take them apart."

"Love God. I mean, you can't see God. You can't define God. It's not widely agreed on whether or not God even exists. And that's the thing. That's what makes it a good practice. Because that's like the love of God. God's got to love stuff entirely before it exists. You see? If you don't know that something exists you're practicing loving like God: creative love."

He describes himself from God's perspective as "that loony guy who plays me" on Youtube.

Hmm... well, if you ran into Crates of Thebes in downtown Anywhere, USA you might think he was odd too.

Interesting, anyway. I don't have the cognitive horsepower to keep up with him, but when I play things back and follow what he says... he might be brilliant. Here's a video (he uses profanity):

God's Love: FAQ

Marvel as he cuts and parries with a video by TJ from The Amazing Atheist, as God, while smoking a cigar and eating a bunch of broccoli with ranch. Again, he uses profanity. So does TJ. Especially TJ:



In the above video he says "Your friends and family are components of God. God is a synthesis of minds of creatures such as ourselves, not exactly like ourselves, so they're a part of God. So are you."

That's knocking on the door of Stoicism [Edit: I mean classical Stoicism here... they were theists]. In this next quote he knocks the door down:

"Right now you just have your perspective; your singular, limited perspective. And from that things are important to you. But when you become part of a much greater mind you have a much greater perspective, because the perspectives of all of the minds that constitute that greater mind, well, they add up. They broaden that perspective, by the very nature of the process. And so yeah, all the things that seem really important you realize... not really worth getting worked up over. Just another part of the beauty of the whole thing, really." 

I don't really know if he plays God, or if he thinks that he IS God, or if he thinks that he is God's mouthpiece, or maybe if he is a troll. I won't be selling my possessions and following him as a disciple, I know that... Peruse his videos and you'll question his sanity. Still, as Seneca says, all good ideas are public property.
