John V Wrote:But, as I haven't confidently said that gnomes don't exist (as I've asked for information on the claimant and have received none), it's a nonsensical question.
Your metaphysical interactions with your god are no different to metaphysical interactions with unverifiable lawn-growing gnomes. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you still can't grasp that thought, but there it is as plainly as I can put it. Now, I would also assume that to a rational person, such a realisation would be rather grim, because applying belief to a gnome just like you apply it to your god is... well... *insane*.... unless you have reasons for why you believe in God in such a way that you might as well be believing in unverifiable lawn-growing gnomes. Can you explain yourself please?
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it" ~ Aristotle
