How to know God other than from mythologies?

[Revolte]

Well put. I'm absolutely fine with that.

But will believers be willing to admit that their God is a product of the human imagination? That it's literature in the same vein as the Iliad?

Of course not, they never will. The same way athiests wouldnt be so soon to believe in god if a god of any sort was proven to exist. Both sides have their feelings based on belief alone, there is no physical proof of either or. Because its belief alone, they will most likely choose to keep their faith, no matter what was proven.

In the end though I cant say it matters much, we are born, and we do die. What happens after death, no one knows.

I'm half convinced that gods may just have been from space too, even if sounds wacko at first, they people who support the idea have a pretty legit argument, most of the time.

This thread should have been posted under the ‘Religion’ section and not the ‘Philosophy’ section of this forum. Posting a question that already assumes the existence of one of the many gods people have dreamed up over the course of human history is at best a hopeful assumption that belongs in the pulpit. If you want to argue for the actual existence of one of these many gods then here in the Philosophy section is the place. However, arguments about one of the many gods, or that assume the existence of some god prior to your argument only really belong under the heading of 'Religion'. Please try not to contaminate the Philosophy section with personal religious beliefs.

May be what creation is and how it happened is something inconceivable to us. Maybe this is a question that cannot be answered within the dimensions we try to understand natural phenomena.

Absolutley correct! Perfect statement of Absurdism.
