That isn't interesting to me. What does interest me is how there can be any "meaningful" relationships in the sense of warranted correspondence between our semiotics-based understanding of the world and physical reality.
I can accept the first part, but you must know that you are not speaking for all Christians on this. There are plenty who believe to know what that plan is. It's debatable whether they are being serious or willfully deceitful.
You're going to have to explain that last sentence for me to understand what you mean.
I should add that Ahriman has stated that he knows god's plan, but claims to not be a Christian and not believe in the Christian god. But that depends on when you ask him. He lies a lot.
Why is it so?
