Religions can go around saying that they represent God.
That doesn't mean that what they say is true.
Only God can represent Him self.
I say Him because i need to refer to some entity.
Quote:God has yet to represent itself and so humans represent it in its absence
Put in this way.
Suppose your name is Paul Smith.
Some people pop out saying that they represent you.
But wait a minute Paul.
You never agree to be represented by these people therefore what these people say is all bullshit.
They have no right of whatsoever to represent you unless you give the permission to be represented by these people therefore these people shouldn't be taken in any consideration.
Quote:.........and in the event that God does exist but all previously presupposed representations are incorrect, what still remains intact is Epicurus' representation of God as either impotent or malevolent, the former of which disqualifies the entity as God by definition.
Epicurus is an other mental masturbator.
He can not read God mind whether God exist or not therefore all his guessing can well be flush down the sewer.
