I have more problems with statements like the highlight text .... and the fact you can say it with a straight face ... and then try to support it by man made evidence? [2]
As a side point, if there was a god (which there isn't) your man made words would have no power to "to limit God's activity" .... [3]
Welcome to the forums madog! Question:
1) Who is proving that there is a god by using terms like natural and supernatural?
2) Where did I "try to support it by man made evidence"? Can you cite me?
3) I wholeheartedly AGREE with this statement! <= Read that again. Now, because our man-made words have no power to limit any hypothetical god's activity, then those man-made words should be used in a way that corresponds to that lack-of-limiting-power in as much as possible.
1) note the highlighted "all the rest" and "some" ... as I said I am not hung up on any particular term, but supernatural along with many other similar terms DO crop up often when the religious try to prove their "God". Note I was replying to your statement that some (I didn't take it personal) people are hung up on supernatural.
2) No ... if you don't great, and my assumption was lazy, so I apologize
3) much better
Religion is the top shelf of the supernatural supermarket ... Madog
