So how do we tell he's not interacting in a natural way ?

We do, that's the way the world is now, a majority believing
Quote:This even applies to modern times when people are educated in modern science. I mean we know that the earth is not flat and it revolves around the sun. Ninety-nine percent of these believers are totally sane. If God communicates with us through supernatural means, we would know what he communicated, which we do. I've pretty much said all I have to say in that regard. As long as you live within your boundaries you'll never know. Open your mind for a change.
So what has god communicated, that we can know a god communicate it ?
I would say we have open minds, now all we need is a way to distinguish your claims from fantasy, do you yourself have that means ?
The amount of people that believe something does not add to the truth of the claim, this is what science taught us, at one time everyone believed that the sun circled the earth and that the sun was a perfect creation of god. When people came along that refuted those claims those who supposedly had the 'voice and ear of god' persecuted them. People once believed that the emperor of Japan was divine, intelligent people believe in all manners of things, systems and dogmas.
There are likely many things we could us as examples of what many 'intelligent' people believed that have been proven untrue, can you show us a way to distinguish what people believe to be true, and what is actually true ? If you cannot then what you simply assert without evidence, can be just as easily dismissed.
