God and the Imagination

[Colanth]

You need to disprove my experiences before you dismiss them

Assertions made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

How is it you are certain, your word not mine, there is no interaction with God.

There's never been any objective evidence that any god has ever objectively existed - that's how. (If no god exists, you can't have interacted with one.)

And don't ask for evidence that there's no god - the burden of proof is on the existentially positive assertion which, in this case, is yours.

Isn't it profound that, as a Christian, when you pray and hear nothing, Christian doctrine tells you that you're just, "not ready for the answer yet?" It's silly, and obvious to anyone who spends even a moment as an outsider.

That's not Christian doctrine, who told you that, that's a fact of life in many different arenas.

No, no god is a "fact of life". No sapient being who has never heard of any god-concept ever sees not being ready for an answer from a god as a fact of life. Getting wet when you stand out in the rain is a fact of life. Going 'splat' when you fall off a 500 foot high cliff is a fact of life. Not being ready to receive an answer from a god is a religious doctrine.
