No, I'm saying that the God of the Sunday school Christians is demonstrably untrue. If you want to know why it's demonstrably untrue, you can read Hitchens and Dawkins and nearly everyone on this forum.
Quote:Why should I believe you have any truth about what god is like?
You absolutely shouldn't.
I think I was clear that I am reporting the ideas of others. I am explaining -- NOT WHAT I HOLD TO BE TRUE -- but the difference between the Sunday school God and the philosophers' God.
Quote:If you don't know if it is true then why is it important to you?
Because I like to learn things. I find the field fascinating.
I'm really not trying to persuade you of anything, except maybe that the Sunday school version of God is not the only version there is.
