Quote: you haven't given this much thought have you? I can tell your just shooting from the hip, and haven't considered all the other places where we may look for something or some one for life time, yet not find what it was we seek.
And if the thing we're supposed to search for has absolutely nothing to indicate its existence beyond the insistence of a random collection of strangers who are unable to agree with one another, then it's in the same ballpark as alien abductions and the Jersey Devil.
Quote:What about when you are seeking a wife? Like in our search for God all we have to go on is the fact that others have found what they were looking for, even though this in no way means you will experience what they do, nor is their any guarantee that you will even date someone. Yet most of us are willing to try/knock till we find what it is we are looking for.
That is the nature of any relationship, how can anyone claim that is an I falsifiable premise when it is apart of our everyday lives?
And again, you compare god, who has nothing to verify his existence, with something that has plenty of evidence. It's a flawed comparison, because the people who have found wives can produce theirs on demand, and can show where the concept of marriage- which is a human construct, by the way- originated. Also, marriage contains within it no extraordinary claims, unlike your god claim; at least marriage is physically possible.
Invalid analogies don't really get you anywhere, and you're telling me who hasn't thought this through?
Quote:That's the thing when one knocks till the door is opened.. 'we'/I do not have to shore up anything. God does that for us.
Fatuous, circuitous nonsense borne of the presupposition you're unwilling to let go of. Why am I not surprised?
Quote:As God is infinite and we are not we will never stop building. That does not mean we will not or can not have something livable in the way of an understanding/house in fairly short order.
That's not an answer. What is the minimum length of time one can A/S/K, from the position of one just looking for god to reveal themselves to them, before it's okay to give up and say it's failed? If the answer is still this "god is infinite..." stuff, then your position is unfalsifiable, and hence irrational to even attempt.
Quote:know in your heart you will be made to wait for two things. One you have to let go your idea of what God is supposed to be and you will be made to wait until you let Go of your time line and in your heart are willing to wait on God no matter what it takes.
So basically what I said: keep going, keep going, and if you ever stop, shock horror, it wasn't long enough. Do you even realize the game you're playing, or is this kind of con trick just innate?
