As for how I can believe in God, that would be a topic for another thread, if I wanted to get into it... which I'd rather not.
While a chicken can't "understand" a human, a human is both observable and beholden to the same natural laws as the chicken.
Sure, but that's not the argument I was making. I never said chickens are exactly to us as we are to God. I was simply showing that it's not unreasonable to say we don't have the mental capacity to understand certain concepts pertaining to a higher being, since it is the case with the creatures in our own world.

Hm? I didn't realize I was giving any argument for God's existence, much less using "not making sense" as one lol. Merely trying to explain what we have in mind when we use the term omnipresent in reference to God.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
