I see your god as just one mental construct among thousands.  In my worldview, your pretend friend is no more real and no more important than any other deity, including deities that appear only in works of modern fiction.  (waves to Lunitari, Offler and Frith)

Your opinion really doesn't matter, that IS how the word God is defined.

Quote:Definition of god

1 capitalized :the supreme or ultimate reality: such as

a :the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe

b Christian Science :the incorporeal divine Principle ruling over all as eternal Spirit :infinite Mind


2 :a being or object believed to have more than natural attributes and powers and to require human worship; specifically :one controlling a particular aspect or part of reality

• Greek gods of love and war
  

*emphasis mine*

Note all other gods are listed under the second definition.

Thor is a 'god' not 'God', understand?

No, because there is no difference.  Whatever god is being worshipped, the followers capitalize theirs and lower-case everyone elses.

see above

Time to grow up, Huggy.  You are on your own in this vast universe.

You care to provide evidence to back up that claim?

My position is that there is no god until I see some evidence of its existence, pretty much the same as my position on everything else.

So the dictionary decides religious questions now?  You're a moron with thinking skills at all.

Your pea-brian doesn't decide what is or isn't truth. Your 5 senses limit you to what they can physically detect. Just because your 5 sense can't detect something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

If you were born blind would light not exist because you haven't seen evidence of it?

Did radio wave not exist in the times past, before they were detectable?

The steadfast failure of religitards to demonstrate that their particular fairy tale has any basis in reality.  If you ever find some feel free to present it.  I will give it a fair hearing.
I hope you do better than a light smudge on an old photo.

A "light smudge" on an old photo that was thoroughly vetted scientifically, backed up by audio recording and eyewitness testimony mind you, and the best you could do was a lame attempt at character assassination on the eye witness.

Color me unimpressed.

I have colored you deluded.  That will suffice.
