Watson Wrote:Your denial of Him does not allow you to understand Him.I understand the monstrous tyrannical nature of the Biblical God quite well thank you, unlike you, I just don't think logically impossible fictional characters are real.
As for a "god-like" being that created the universe, an idea which has the same justification as a race of aliens who destroyed themselves and created the reality we currently inhabit, the hypothesis is ultimately, logically unknowable. Not knowing about something is not the same position as simply rejecting or refuting it outright.
