Can God have an orgasm?

Question

Can God have an orgasm? The mere posing of the question is bound to offend the religious sensibility of many people, and many would refuse even to consider the question from fear that God - who is privy to their every thought - would seriously disapprove of any such blasphemous curiosity. But this question raises a serious problem about the nature of God that dates back to the skeptics of ancient Greece.

If we suppose that God can feel physical sensations of any kind, then we must also suppose that God is a corporal entity, a physical organism with the capacity to experience sensations. And this supposition, aside from conflicting with the notion that God is a purely spiritual being, carries with it the disturbing implication that God is subject to change and so cannot be immutable. To experience a sensation, after all, is to experience a change from one state to another, so if God is able to feel anything we cannot regard him as immutable, because this means the absence of any change whatsoever.

Moreover, the notion that God can feel sensations and is therefore subject to change is clearly incompatible with the absolute perfection of God. For consider: If we suppose God to be perfect, then any change must necessarily be for the worse, after which he will no longer be perfect. If, on the other hand, we suppose that any change in God is necessarily for the better, then this means that God was less than perfect prior to the change.

These and similar arguments were first proposed by the skeptics of ancient Greece, who showed that the traditional conception of God (or the gods) is self-contradictory and therefore incoherent. The only way out of this conceptual morass is to say that God, who never changes, does not experience sensations or feelings of any kind, as we understand those terms. But this assumption brings with it a new set of problems. For example, if God is unable to experience pain, then there is at least one thing that we humans (who are quite familiar with this sensation) know that God does not, in which case God cannot be omniscient. For we can never know the meaning of "pain" unless we have experienced this sensation for ourselves. "Pain" must be defined ostensively, i.e., through direct experience, so a being who has never felt pain can never know the meaning of "pain."

Thus if God has never felt physical sensations of any kind, then there are many things of which he is necessarily ignorant, things that are known to his creatures but not to their creator. Most people have experienced an orgasm, but can the same be said of God? If the answer is yes, then we confront the previously discussed conflict between change and immutability, as well as that between change and perfection. If the answer is no, then we might ask why God has never had an orgasm. Is this because he will not or because he cannot have this experience? In the former case, although many things are presently unknown to God, he could acquire this knowledge if he so chose. In the latter case, God is forever barred from knowing many things that we humans know quite well. In either case, however, God cannot be all-knowing, because he must totally ignorant of sensory knowledge.

Answer 1

This is really interesting, If God exists he cannot feel anything and that is as good as not existing as far as I can see.

Answer 2

The question does not seem to manifest the sincerity of a person in quest of an answer. It seems to be an introduction to a debate challenge. It has all the appearances of intellectual arrogance pointed towards rationalizing God's existence. While it is true that we can arrive at a limited understanding of God's nature, it can also be said that the human science and human philosophy that you use in justifying your arguments may simply be totally inadequate to describe a being that we call God. If these were adequate then we might arrive at the conclusion that what we have proven after all has never been God but just another theory or idea of another philosopher or scientist.

My recommendation is - try faith.

Answer 3

One of the many errors I see in your logic is "If we suppose God to be perfect, then any change must necessarily be for the worse..."

How do you figure that? Take a look at the sky on a clear night. It's beautiful. It's perfect. The next night the planets have moved to different positions, the moon has slightly changed shape and completely changed position. Is it less perfect now?

You say, "we can never know the meaning of "pain" unless we have experienced this sensation for ourselves."

Isn't that just evidence of the limits of our minds? Are you then saying that God's mind is just as limited as yours and that He can't possibly understand how you feel when you stub your toe? I'd have to say that he knows intimately how pain feels since he's the one who designed the neuronal connections that allow you to feel it. He invented pain so that you'd know to stop doing things that are bad for you. Does the inventor of pain have to experience it to know what it is?

Besides, God made himself corporeal and came down to Earth and lived among us. In this way, he made it possible for him to feel any corporeal sensation that anybody else can feel. Pain, pleasure, sadness, happiness, and yes - orgasms. I don't know if he ever did experience an orgasm, but I'm sure he was perfectly capable of it. I'm equally sure that he hit his thumb with a hammer on at least a few occasions, since he was a carpenter. And, I don't care who you are, that is going to cause pain.

Answer 4

an orgasm is a effect of a sexual come across, this is impressive, although, it would be finished contained in the sanctity of marriage. intercourse is what separates us from animals, if we hump each and every thing we see, we modify into much less human. regrettably, we are taking place that direction, as a society. this is the appropriate sort of self sacrifice, as you're giving your self out of like to the different individual. a solid image for intercourse is, what some locate humorous, the go, Jesus supplies Himself out of love for us. base line, it somewhat is an important act, and to grant it away like this is shameful.

Answer 5

No, I do not believe God can experience an orgasim as we humans know it. Nor can God experience pain, guilt, happiness, or joys as we do. These tools were put into place to help us understand ourselves. Once we reach true understanding of our nature then we too will no longer need any physical or emotional pain or pleasure, for we will no longer need to be on this school of Earth. We will go back to our creator, God, and truely become one again.

Answer 6

is this a joke?

well anyway a small answer to your question.

1.)God is divine meaning their is no sin in him
2.) Jesus came and died in the cross and their for was human so he felt all the needs and wants, and suffered everything we suffered (and yet he did not contaminated him self with sin).
3.) God understands us for he created all the emotions that every human is intended te feel ( I repeat humans are intended to feel, not holy spirits).
the bible spacificly teels us that in heaven there will be no crime, sadness and sin. and that we will worship him day and night not feeling orgasms or having sex or doing drugs.

God created marriage and sex for human kind to reproduce. it is something he intended for use to enjoy for he is not like use and he is not human.

God Bless
