God and the dilemma with unfalsifiability

Oh please. HIV is sooo 1992.
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.'

We ask for the chef but get the bun dresser from the graveyard shift at McDonalds in Shreveport. Yeah, that's an enticement to abandon reason and believe.

Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42) Also, I has a website: www.RedbeardThePink.com (September 13, 2017 at 7:28 am)Mathilda Wrote:(September 7, 2017 at 3:42 pm)Crossless2.0 Wrote: Normally, I wouldn't indulge in quote mining, but this leaped out at me, practically begging to be used. *Looks in the mirror and pouts* Do these lesions make me look fat?

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.

Except that this very intelligent creature doesn't give a flying fox about your magic storybook, and has said so multiple times. Whatever you have defeated regarding me is only in your head. Please leave me out of your fantasies.

How does theism = self worship though? I for one certainly don't think I "worship" myself. I mean, obviously I can be selfish and self serving at times because I'm not perfect, but my faith doesn't teach me to be that way, it teaches me not to be that way.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
