Intersubjectivity is entirely unprovable and cannot be tested.
Quote:The word "divine" is but the last resort of scoundrels seeking to overawe the not quite gullible. It is devoid of any other use or meaning.
It means little to you or I. Means a fair amount to some of the religious. It can be put to good use in theocracies.
A word with poor definition is not a word devoid of meaning.
Strongbad Wrote:A flippant, dismissive quip about "justice" does nothing to address the absurd possibilities allowed by your belief system (such as the murderer who joins his victims in heaven). Why don't you try responding to the conundrum in the post, instead of a diversionary tactic?
What conundrum is that, precisely? If there were a heaven, I should think I could forgive my killer. Murder isn't really all that bad.
Rape would be a stronger suggestion by far. Even still I would over a long time forgive them. Heaven supposedly lasts an eternity...

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
