So we have god withholding evidence from those he knew would have accepted him and instead giving it to people who rejected him. There seems to be a vast dichotomy between the god you want to believe in and the god of the bible.(June 23, 2016 at 10:30 am)Little Rik Wrote: I did asked you to show me the contradiction.
Where is it?
Can you also show me where I made any comment about NDEs that you relate to your point?
*sigh*
I said NDEs provided no objective evidence for an afterlife, and you responded with:
Quote:...As God your intention is to teach something only to those who are ready to learn.
Why would you teach to someone who is not ready?
It wouldn't make sense that is why only some of the people who had an NDE experience God.
God is not there to show himself to those who don't care about him.
Not only that but he-she (God has no sex) is also not engaging in games or give evidences that he exist such as to show to skeptics tricks when an NDE can see things put there by skeptics as experiments.
You're saying God only appears in NDEs to teach people who are "ready to learn" (which is false, as I pointed out--many skeptics experience God in NDEs and do not find the experience convincing), and you also said that God is careful not to provide evidence of his existence to skeptics.
What you're describing is called "subjective experience." Now, if you want to dispute my claim that NDEs provide no objective evidence for an afterlife (or God), you're going to want to come up with some objective evidence.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
