Thanks for repeating the very fucking point I was making (along with Michael Shermer)? God forbid you should just quote the point and say, "I agree"—as if by repeating the very point you can pretend it was your own valuable contribution to the discussion.
So Arcanus do you believe god can in no way be measured or tested, and also his influence on anything measurable or testable can in no way be measured or tested? I'm not sure if that's what you actually believe, but that's what I'm getting when you (seemed to?) agree that "...there is no empirical test that can be devised to prove this God's existence."
