Believing in Deities is a Form of Psychosis

That is not possible for a very good reason.
It would be like to give the keys of your car to your little kid.
It would be very very dangerous although is quite possible but it would be something totally irresponsible.
As soon as you start the spiritual path towards infinity then your guru or teacher take care of you as you would take care of your little kid-s.
By giving the keys of your car to your little one you automatically put him-her in a position of high danger.
The same goes for the relationship that goes on between you and your spiritual teacher.
Of course he could give you all the power to move mountains, do miracles, win at lotto, be a superman that can fly or any extraordinary thing you can imagine but for obvious reason he will not do that.
He want you to progress spiritually and merge into his ocean of cosmic consciousness and the only way to achieve that is to give to you only what you can deal with and not give you anything that may drag you back in your spiritual progress.

I guess you never thought about that MA, did you?  Shy

That you wouldn't be able to support your 'intuitional science' with any confirmable results? That was expected. It's not like we haven't met. Too bad you're not adult enough to be given the power to move one smallish mountain in one minute, you could take care of this debate very neatly.

There are two obvious reasons why he will not do that: One, he has a very good reason to not do that. Two, he doesn't exist. Either way, nothing backing up the notion that YOU have any idea what you're talking about, since he either doesn't see fit to back you up or you're imagining him.

One thing you've demonstrated in your time here is that you have a very fervid imagination.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
