Why I'm not an Atheist and believe in what I believe.

Here I am just assuming it's logically possible.


And, in the words of Richard Dawkins, "Well, doesn't that just make it too easy!" :ROLLEYES:

You are assuming your conclusion. And from your interactions here, it is clear you don't know enough about real logic to even use the term in a sentence.

Quote:Then the next question is, is whether we have genuine knowledge of God and soul and a relationship between the two.

No, there IS no "next question". Your assertion died in its tracks before they opened the starting gates.

Ah, sorry about that. I meant: "Clearly you're at least slightly confused [about whether you have knowledge or not] - why use such an error prone method of communication?" But I accept maybe I misunderstood.

Basically I meant why not use a clearer way of conveying this knowledge so that confusion could be more easily dispelled. Presumably this god is aware of such confusion and has the power to clear stuff up, but chooses not to. That is odd. If I contain within me this knowledge, I'm not aware of it. And if this god wants me to have it why not just create me aware of it and prevent situations where I would be unaware? That doesn't make any sense.

Indeed, if this supposed supreme being existed, it would be supremely rational and supremely logical and it would know that it would need to provide evidence of its existence, its authority, its big dick, etc., in order for us to believe/worship/etc., in us, which is what is asserted that it wants.

There would be none of this "hiding" business. A supreme deity not revealing itself ot all of its creations would be utterly illogical.
