Don't get you panties in a twist, I'm not calling you names. I am referring to the fact that if you are not back with an absolute, you're declarative statement at the very least point to a general lack of imagination, but more prominently an absolute refusal to examine anything you do not already accept to be true.(February 23, 2017 at 1:58 pm)Drich Wrote: [quote pid='1515118' dateline='1487869808']
I've always found it presumptuous and or even insane that one can say "God" can not exist because an individual from a single point in time tested their one sided one dimensional version of God and that version failed. Think about it..
I cannot think of any variety of the god concept that I find in the least bit likely.
In fact there has been no idea of god that I've seen that I've found anything other than preposterous.
People like that dot our history, they are usally referenced as the nay sayers who said things like the earth was flat, man could not fly, man was not built to travel faster than a good horse could run, ect.. They like you found what they did not already know to be true 'preposterous.'
So then I ask you Mr. thinker... what separates you from them?

Over here religions aren't really a bif thing my mums was a protestant C of E and went to church some sundays and my wife is a spiritualist but faith is not a big part of life here.

...And if God could not/would not openly bless those types of believers, because they worshiped religion over God?
Quote:Again! At best all you can say is you experimented with your idea of God and it failed. How then can anyone take such limited exposure to God and very limited knowledge of God and apply it to how the universe works?!?!?
I repeat I have never experimented with god, why should I? it is a silly idea.
