What are you people going on about?!
This X sounds a lot like an unsubstantiated man-made claim that has been believed by a lot of people and gets passed on to other people by the people who believe.
I have only one requirement of this god thing: show itself (to me and everyone else on the planet) like it allegedly did in the text. As long as it doesn't, the text and related tales are considered fiction, just like many many texts we have available nowadays.
As long as belief is a requirement, it sounds like man-made story and all we're being asked is to believe the accounts of other people... and that is something I'll never do, when related to any god thing.

Being a God, should his word be good enough, such that the set {x}=|{x)| of absolute value? How then to you expect any God have an obligation, or burdon of proof if his word (for example the bibe) isnt an absolute? So, your logic is flawed in its initial setup. Just the absolute concept of God..gives the value of his word (x)=|(x)|. And the fuction of proof is the axion of truths.what?!
ng he is agod
