Since you cannot easily refute the argument for a genetic supreme being, you move the goal post to prove a very specific deity.

I have proved what I wanted to prove. Atheism is not a rational choice.

What makes you think my religion teaches that all other revelatory experiences are delusionary? God reaches out to people wherever they are belief-wise.

And you dare to accuse others of confirmation bias? You’re acting hypocritically.

Apparently there's one set of rules for believers and another atheists.
(April 9, 2013 at 6:32 pm)median Wrote: yet you think your God is actually infinite. HA! Once again, if you can claim your deity is infinite (an infinite disembodied mind?)Did I say anything about an infinite god? For that matter did I propose any secondary attributes to the supreme being?

But I'm not allowed to believe in the possibility of a god that is in no way inconsistent with the known universe. You guys really think you can have it both ways.
