The fact that most people claim to have an experience albeit different ones and different gods is better evidence of our common genetic inheritance rather than an invisible and impossible being.(September 2, 2010 at 10:26 pm)AngelThMan Wrote:And how can you know that it was "the presence of God" and not something else?(September 1, 2010 at 9:18 am)Thor Wrote:I've experienced the presence of God.(August 31, 2010 at 10:37 pm)AngelThMan Wrote: Maybe if unbelievers would experience what you and I have, they'd be believers.And what exactly have you "experienced"?
