It doesn't strike me as a difficult concept to grasp, guys.
-That- isn't difficult to grasp, but that's not what she just described. People feel presences all the time, people attribute things to gods all the time, people assume and abandon belief sets all the time...this is not at all "detecting" a god. Why would we use the kid gloves when a person advances a statement that reduces the god they claim to believe in to silliness....when they shit a disposable claim down our earholes? Nope...I'm holding these god pesterers to the things they say...after all..they swear it's important...and they came here to tell us about it, clearly.
well yes this thread is about personal relationships with deities isnt it ? should i come onto this thread and talk about Obama ? silliness i think is believing in something that you cannot detect wouldnt you agree ?
