You would be shitting in your pants if ghost make himself visible infront of you. What more do you expect if supreme being shows up to deliver the message.

God apparently cares more about clean undies than us knowing him.

try use that picture to a blind person to make him believe. I bet u cant. He needs logic to-be convinced
I will say it again, I am an Absurdist, to me the act of believing is an act of shutting down thought, I do not believe in anything. I would not want to make anybody believe in anything, blind or otherwise.

My English is not that perfect. What do you mean by generic

Have you seen 2+2 is four. Or you use logic to believe it is four.

As with most words, there are a number of definitions, but the most common one in everyday discussion, and the one I am using is:
Merriam Webster.com Wrote:c: having no particularly distinctive quality or application <generic restaurants>

Basically something that doesn't have any special/specific characteristics. For exapmle, if you say that you don't follow any particular religion and just worship 'god', for whom the only qualification is omnipotence, then it could be said to be a generic god. If you said that your god had a particular set of characteristics, then you could probably find an existing god to match it. Generic also means something that is not a brand name product.

You would not be able to seee since you wo.uld be so impressed or too scared then pass out. When you wake up you can't recall what he looks like and start to add your side of story here and there.

I think you aught to look at which section you are in Darkstar. I can understand why Arabic people get fed up with American assumptions about them.

If I had a herd of goats and you gave me another herd how many herds would I have when I put them together?
I do not believe.

I would say my definition of. God is as follows

His attributes exceed human attributes limition.


Example. All knowing. Normal human wouldn't remember what happen in 1900 without the help of history books. Even history book cannot tell what actually happenned at the time of Adam and Eve.

Okay, I understand your definition. But...you just got done saying you didn't believe in the bible and now are referencing Adam and Eve historically? (I assume you are just using them as an example...?)

Just wondering, considering the subsection (which I somehow missed...) does that mean you believe the koran is a legitimate holy book?

I didn't see it either. Could I at least get some hummus while I'm here?
