A disgraceful god

I would bow down and worship such a creature, but, then, again, how could one be sure that it was a ferret and not an invisible ferret?

RE: A disgraceful god
If ferrets could be invisible, they'd still be ferrets. The same is true of gods, and of disgraceful gods.
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 would say that if such beings exerted no gravitational influence then the distinction between being invisible and non-existent is a superfluous one.

RE: A disgraceful god
Sure, the difference between an invisible ferret and a ferret with no known effects. Similarly -

I don't believe in bob because bob has no known effects - broadly speaking, rational.

I don't believe in bob because he's an asshole - not so much.

It's a secondary criticism of bob based on attributes real or presumed, it's truth not premised on any assertion one way or the other of such a bobs existence, and not capable of providing a rational inference to that end.

The analog here to your comments about the miracle ferret are very much on the surface. Would you really try to live your life the ferrety way on account of a ferret replacing a limb? It wouldn't concern you that you're modeling your life after what a ferret wanted, on account of it having done something that isn't so much impossible as it is unavailable to us. Have you bent the knee to any lizards, recently?

Not recently, but, if one spoke out loud to me, giving me the next PowerBall numbers, then yes, I would bow to such a creature.

Let God heal an adult amputee, restoring his/her lost limb, and I will believe, renouncing any and all of my non-belief.

and who are you that God must court and peruse you separately? or did you not read enough of his word to know God has a path spelled out for us to find him?

At one point the majority of humanity was certain the Earth was the center of the universe.


You truly are a complete fool. I am surprised you can wipe your own ass.
