God as a non-empirical being
#3
RE: God as a non-empirical being
Well, the theist traps himself if he claims God is non-empirical, because he can then no longer make any claims to his nature, nor can he appeal to any sort of reason to believe in him beyond pure faith.

You see, saying God is non-empirical is just a way to avoid presenting proof, because while they're telling you he's non-empirical out of one corner of their mouth, they're telling you that they he watches you masturbate out of the other.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
