God and the dilemma with unfalsifiability
RE: God and the dilemma with unfalsifiability
Indeed we can!

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

He will never help you when you are ill. He will never be your wingman in battle. Never protect you from harm.

That’s the problem with believing in the unfalsifiable: You could be wrong and you’d never find out.
To me, personally, that is religion's greatest marketing strength. It's their ultimate product which they are selling to you.
One which you yourself as a customer cannot even prove you haven't received!!!

Needing blind faith to believe in the absurd or extraordinary isn't just recommended, it's mandatory!

The Bible doesn't tell us we have blind faith, indeed it tells us our faith has sight. God has revealed himself to me, this I know as fact. God has healed me many times Physically and spiritually. He has been my leader in battle and that is a good thing, He leads me through battles every time I open up this site.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Well that explains why there's so much death, destruction, and suffering afoot in the world. 

God's busying himself with helping GC navigate the trials and tribulations of posting on an online forum. Tongue

Of course "God" has healed him many times. Anything else and it'd be "God" testing his faith. "God" is his double-headed coin.

Is that how you see yourself.  Logging onto this site to do "battle" with the heathen?

God needs to get a better recruiter.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I never intended to bring a battle and most of the time there is none from others, but on occasion there are conflicts. The real battles I actually was referring to were the ones where atheist cherry pick through the Bible and God helps me to refute their arguments, God's never lost one yet.

Yep.  Delusion never loses.

GC, 
I'm sure that a lot of people would appreciate it if you would stop monopolizing Yahweh's limited attention span.  That guy can't seem to do two things at once and since he's spending all of his time with you helping you post on the forums other people are going without his help. 

So, maybe for their sake, you will chill for the next three months so that Yahweh can help people impacted by the disasters?  They'll love you if you would do them that little favor.

 Is that your way of say leave and don't come back, you can be more direct I prefer it. God is much bigger than you could possibly know. Do you know what omnipresent means as related to God, I've asked several people here and no one answers the question, guess they are not really sure.
