Why knocking is so important.

Again with the heads of state thing? Really?!? So, do Obama and the Queen seek to have a personal relationship with me?!? Do they wish me to worship them?!? If they did, I would fully expect them to seek me out as would only be proper from someone wishing to be a part of my daily life.

do you not understand the fundamentals of how analogies work?
Analogy
a correspondence or partial similarity.
"the syndrome is called deep dysgraphia because of its analogy to deep dyslexia"
a thing that is comparable to something else in significant respects.
"works of art were seen as an analogy for works of nature"
LOGIC
a process of arguing from similarity in known respects to similarity in other respects.
synonyms: similarity, parallel, correspondence, likeness, resemblance, correlation, relation, kinship, equivalence, similitude, metaphor, simile
"there's a thinly veiled analogy between his fiction and his real life"
LINGUISTICS
a process by which new words and inflections are created on the basis of regularities in the form of existing ones.
BIOLOGY
the resemblance of function between organs that have a different evolutionary origin.

According to the good ole google dictionary analogies are not required to share all aspects of the two objects being compared. All they need do is share a specific similarity. Now with that in mind if I choose to highlight one aspect of how a common person approaches a person in high authority, then that is all the compareson need share.

If you go off reservation or out side the bounds of the analogy then you are guilty of building and attacking strawmen.
The following is a good example of failed strawman logic and the liberal usage of red herrings.

Not so for gawd, eh? It hasn't got the common courtesy to make itself known to the people it wishes to have a personal relationship with? Sometimes (like now) your gawd sounds like a stalker. Other times it sounds like an abusive spouse. "Love me, or I'll kill you, Bitch!" Not so different from "Love me or burn in hell, filthy sinner!" Either way, not something I would want as a part of my life.

Spare me any bullshit responses, unless you can bring actual, testable, verifiable evidence to the table you have nothing of merit to say on the issue. Your continued spamming of a/s/k is ridiculous. No-one here buys the bullshit.

Drich, you still suck at analogies.

I will agree that gawd is not a trained monkey. I've actually seen one of those and evidence of many others. Something you simply cannot provide for your gawd.

I wouldn't know, not being a screeching, nonhuman primate. Please enlighten me.

I don't know stim, I think your selling yourself short here. I bet if you tried you'd be able to figure something out.

Really?!? I was merely expanding on your analogy. How often we've all heard the claim that gawd want us to worship it and love it and to have a personal relationship with us. None of these things are desired or sought after by heads of state so your claim that we must seek gawd and cannot expect it to seek us out (as we rightly would for anyone else wanting those same things) are unwarranted. You wish to throw out a red herring and call it a straw man, you go right ahead. The simplest explanation is that your analogy simply won't bear up under scrutiny.

BTW - your "correspondence or partial similarity" is so razor thin as to be nearly invisible, which is why you suck at analogies.
