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.
At some point in the future He will, soon IMO, when He does it will be to late for those who have rejected Him. They will wish He had waited longer, for those of us who have accepted Him well we are ready anytime. God has made appearances at the Genesis, while forming Israel as His people, then when Christ was born, these appearances were roughly 2000 years apart, it's been 2000 years, so who knows could be soon.
Always soon it is, in the believers' view [/yoda]
Why will it be too late? It's not like it was too late for the people who formed Israel, nor for Moses...
And you are ready for what exactly?
And how came you about this knowledge?... or did it stem only from your view of some "periodical" appearance of this god thing?
If there is such a thing as a god, and it wants me to acknowledge its existence (as you believers claim it does), then I await its introduction, just as it introduced itself to those biblical characters. Until then, I see the god thing as a story in a book.
This is non-belief: not accepting what you people say nor what is written in some book about some incredible, supernatural entity, as representative of reality.
If the entity is real, then let it step forth and show itself to all. While it only shows itself to some people's minds, it will be dismissed as hallucination or similar.
Will you keep threatening me with those future comings of the unsubstantiated deity or just keep to your deceitful (or deceived?) tongue to yourself?
