Experiencing 'proof'

[pocaracas]

What I am providing is a way to get proof for those who want 'proof.' I am showing you a way for God to move mountains in your life to give you the 'proof' He promised.

Not exactly.
What you are doing is showing us how we can accept an extraordinary explanation for something that happens in our life, but to which we don't readily have an ordinary one.
You want me to appeal to a divine entity, when all I had was luck.
You want me to behave in a way that is approved by that divine entity, which may lead to some other fortunate (or lucky) event in my life... or not, who knows?... or if I don't behave that way, I'll have an even more fortunate event... or not, who knows?!


You want my mind to accept that an entity exists and, when that acceptance is complete, it will present itself to me in some far fetched way that I'll be compelled to accept as proof.... because I already accepted the existence of said entity.
Can you say "circular reasoning"?

Ultimately, you base your knowledge of this entity on what is written on a book. This book contains some cases of real physical interaction with this divine entity. Why must I resort to fooling myself first, when the people in the stories didn't require that?


PS: I don't know about other people's intelligence... mine is just a standard intelligence, no bells nor whistles... the kind that makes any internet IQ test show a 140... rather normal, I guess.

I don't understand Drich's point of view at all btw Poca, because his point of view appears to be completely fucking insane...I am unable to understand a point of view that is completely fucking insane...due to my not being completely fucking insane.

I understand the premise: god exists and is the god of the christian bible.
Everything else is just: follow what is written in the bible.
Is that so difficult to understand?

But, just because I understand, it doesn't mean I agree with it. The premise seems faulty, hence everything else that comes after is faulty. If, for some amazing coincidence, some things that come out of it are not faulty...well, coincidence is just that. coincidence.
