Ajnee, what pronoun do you use when referring to the concept of god?

Excuse me? I didn't catch that, pronoun?

If you are simply speaking of language, I use 'Him' to refer to God because that's the norm in English at least. Similar to how you call a boat "she". However, I do not believe that that necessarily means that God is a male or possesses human like qualities.

God created good, and goodness comes from religion, which stems from God himself. Either way, you end up at God. Respecting someone and worshiping them are two very different things. But anyways, your faith. :)

Whatever changes cannot be Real. Whatever changes cannot be the Truth. Everything that you and me know of, changes. That includes but not limited to time, space and matter. So, none of those entities are True/Real. Which means, all "this" that we perceive thru our senses is not True. Hence the expression - MaYa, which literally translates to "not this". You can then ask is there anything that is "not this" ? The answer is "that". Why are we not giving "that" a name? Because, "that" is EVERTHING not "this".

Why did I say I am "that"? Because, in Reality, in Truth, there is no "I".

Ooh, I always wondered what your sig meant, Mister K, but I never got around to ask. Also, I think you should join us in the Debate Mansion, it'll be worth a lot more of your time than wasting it away on mere spam. Lots of intellectual discussions there (perhaps not at the moment) that you will enjoy. :)

To add my two cents to the discussion, can reality and truth not change? Isn't change also real? I don't think that reality should be categorized as permanent. Perhaps reality does not change, only our perception of reality changes, but how can we cast away change as unreal?

I like your take on the 'this' and 'that'. We are so full of ourselves that we believe reality to be us, but in fact, we are a tiny speck on reality's big picture.
