Then what does it have to do with a god, and what use is a god in it..if human beings can do it and acknowledge it?

Turns out MK thinks we're all lying about not believing God is real anyway, so his threads seem to be the intellectual equivalent of masturbating in front of us.

Doesn't merit a response, because it's not what I said.

Hopefully, they will serve as reminders of how clear the issue of God's existence is from many angles, that, you will one day acknowledge the connection you have with the creator and the connection by which all other connections are established among humans.
Hopefully, they will cease at least one of you from self-deception.

How does one quantify love, for example, or the enjoyment of a cup of hot chocolate?
We can't, but there is a measurement of it, both vision of the values beauty or image, and the quantity as in magnitude of it.
This is something all humans acknowledge, and you can derive they acknowledge this just through the language they speak and what they say to each other.
I don't think you know what "measurement" means. None of the things you are talking about is a measurement.

I think his idea of "self-deception" is a little bit off, too.

What kind of person tries to use arguments to prove something is true to people he believes secretly think it's true anyway? What's all this for? If we're lying about not believing him, shouldn't he focus on convincing us to be truthful instead of convincing us we're wrong; since he believes we're right but lying about it?

Funny, but I don't remember seeing any arguments -- just assertions served up with a side word salad.

Then he needs to try a lot harder. My dogs can form a better argument.
