Theists: would you view the truth?

[Neo-Scholastic]

Would you not do as many on AF say and attribute any apparent miracles to mass delusions or extraterrestrials? Seems to me from my time here that any explanation, no matter how implausible, is preferred over divine intervention.

And just how dismissive are you of the miracles attributed to Allah and other gods?

I find them fascinating. Even after one tacitly accepts a supernatural explanation, the difficulty of forming some kind of doctrine around such events remains. Was the entity that dictated the Koran to Mohammed truly an angel of God (versus a demonic entity, for example)? Hearing of the works associated with YHVH is it possible that is He a corrupted demiurge? Personally, I have a very ecumenical attitude towards other religions. The Divine cannot be comprehended, only conceived by limited creatures.

I once saw David Copoerfield make the Statue of Liberty disappear. I also had an uncle who could make sweets appear from my ear. Should I worship them as gods, or stone them to death as witches?

It depends. Do they weight as much as a duck?

I'm saying if I went back to Biblical times and God showed himself it would be far more plausible that it was an alien.

And so there you have it, folks!
