a twitter conversation this morning got me thinking. the twit comment was " When most people get a hunch, they call it a hunch. Christians call it 'God'. Great wildcard there". when people write off intuition to "god", i beleive they are watering down both.
the perspective of calling it "god" gives humanity no credit. we are simply passive in this process and have no input. this discounting is probably what makes it easier to not think for oneself, accept what is given and "conventional wisdom".
it also weakens "god" because a hunch can be wrong. how could "god" be wrong? omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient yet not sure on a hunch? if god exists, i doubt that he/she would miss something that simple.
