Quote from Simon Moon:
But I ask again, why would your god, provide us with the ability to figure out a method, that actually can be demonstrated to differentiate fact from fantasy for every other aspect of reality, yet for his existence, he purposely hides from said method?

I don't know, but as I answered before, maybe he wants us to believe for that reason. The ability he gave us that you mentioned is to distinguish natural reality, not supernatural reality. Maybe he wants us to know we must rely completely on him. I don't know why. From my experience, I just believe it is. Why not be open to that as billions of other smart people are? You can't accept that there can be any other way to know something, so just dismiss it.
No. I stick with my numbers. check it out.

So you think billions of educated, non-delusional people are stupid, mistaken or delusional. You are smarter and more perceptive than the vast majority of past and present day people?
No? I'm only noting that you've inflated your stats by claiming people who think you're full of shit, that you don't believe me when I say god told -me- something, and that you don't accept the numbers of non believers as evidence.
Is any of this, what I'm commenting on, inaccurate ? Does this not provide you with an answer to the question you asked of us?
No. I stick with my numbers. check it out.
