The name of God thread.

[Astreja]

No, there is no external evidence that Islam has anything to do with gods.  It  is not proof.  It is not evidence.  It is only belief and nothing more, and no matter how many thousands of times you say the word "proof" you will be no closer to satisfying our evidentiary requirements.

If you want to convince us, you have to do it on our terms -- not on yours.

How would you know that? You guys obviously all you do is just playfully jest when you research proofs of God and religion.

I assure you, MK, that I am deadly serious when I say that I have never in all of my sixty years seen any credible evidence for the existence of gods.

I play a goddess on the Internet, and that is in jest -- and also to make a vital point about religion.  If I were a real goddess, would you be able to accept that, or would you reject Me because I'm not mentioned in the Quran?

Moreover, in My divine role as the Springy Goddess (or "Springy G" for short), I'm in charge of things that don't actually need divine intervention:  The spring equinox, chocolate, punctuation, and Random Equipment Malfunctions.  When your car won't start or your computer hard drive crashes, I claim the credit.  That's essentially what every believer does -- give their particular god credit for things that happen without gods.

But I remain agnostic of My own divinity, because I don't see any evidence for My own godhood either. Wouldn't want to be a hypocrite about it.

So you basically lay the conditions of proof and won't listen to what the proof is.

What do you mean, "won't listen"?  We're all familiar with what you think is proof; we just don't agree with you.  When you say "won't listen," do you actually mean "won't accept"?
