Hey all! Its been a while since my last post (which was about Griffith) and lately ive been thinking a lot of the so called God named Idea.
The general point im trying to make is that I dont think idea is as powerful as it professes to be and so one day gatts will kick God Hand's butts and live happily ever after (with caska ;)). Throughout this post ill be referring back to the first,and to my knowledge only, conversation griffith had with Idea (in Chapter 83) so it'll be useull to have a copy handy.
Idea made the claim that it is God, that it existed as an answer for human suffering:
Griffith : "... God ?"
Idea : "Welcome" "Human"
Griffith : "Are you God ?..."
Idea : "I am" "the Idea"
"The desired God" "The Idea of Evil"
Later on in this dialogue griffith asks Idea why it exists and Idea gives the following explanation:
Griffith : "... Actually" "it's true" "This" "is... in me" "I can feel it" "But why ?" "Why were you born ?" "Why did humans give born to this will called God ?"
Idea : "The humans" "desired causes"
"Reasons for pain... Reasons for sadness" "Reasons for life" "Reasons for death" "Why were their lives filled with suffering ? Why were their deaths absurd ?" "They desired a reason for the destiny that kept transcending their knowledge"
Griffith : "And that was..." "God"..."
Idea : "And I became so" "I control destiny" "since this is what that wanted me to be and do"
Now, in my opinion there are a few fundumental claims made by Idea that nullify Idea's claim to be God.
To do this we'll have to look at what a God is and compare that with what we know about Idea. Its not easy to define a God beacuse different people have different opinions of what a God is. So im going to put forth three basic traits that a being must have in order to be a God:
1. God must be eternal. By that I not only mean that it cannot end, but that it cannot have a beginning either. So it really must have always just existed. Another way of putting it would be to say it was infinite.
2. God must be limitless in every way by which I mean it must be all-powerfull so that it will be able to do, see, and hear all.
3. God must not be constricted by the dimensions of space. If it was constricted by space it would have a physical form and so would be liable to mortal issues such as pain and death etc. In other words God must exist in a plane other than our realm.
Now ill compare the above 3 traits with Idea in part 2....
