In part, I'm saying that killing our Father, metaphorically at least, is an act of rebellion that we need to take if we want to be free. Ultimately we must be free to define our own metaphysical and spiritual truth.

"... free" of what? Still unresolved human father authority/disappointment issues?
If so, what an incredible spillover between horizontal and vertical vectors. Wow.

You do know that nobody else here uses horizontal and vertical to mean the same thing
you do.

At that consequently your posts are complete and utter gibberish as well as nonsense?

Well I guess you don't as you keep posting them.

And that couldn't be achieved by simply ignoring god?

Yes. This might be the easiest way to kill God.

Free to sin?

What an odd concept.

Sin is what keeps us in shackles.

Only under your theology.


If you're not a believer then there is no such thing as sin.

Way back in my teens when I thought sci-fi was cool I read AE Van Vogt's
Book of Ptath. Seem to remember the god figures in the story got their
power from being worshipped.

You get forgotten you disappear.

Interesting. I guess that is what happens to gods.

Terry Pratchett's "Small Gods" Discworld novel has a god facing that problem...
It's left with only one true believer, and is stuck as a small tortoise with the
power to generate very small static shocks.

Of course such a thing exists.

You just don't believe it.

Superman doesn't believe in anything.

He's a comic-book character.
