I'm not denying it might exist either, not that I even understand what it is meant to be. I explained at length in the video how using that word to describe something like abiogenesis is at best redundant and at worst dishonest. But if it makes you happy, you go ahead and call it that.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. I know a man who said that they can't have same sex marriage because it says in the dictionary that marriage is between a man and a woman, not two men or two women.
No, I am not joking.
I'm reasonably comfortable saying that the God of Abraham as described in the bible absolutely does not exist. Just as I'm reasonably certain Zeus isn't the cause of lightning, and Neptune isn't the reason we have the oceans. Could Jesus be god? Maybe, but not as described in the bible.
If a God wants to find us, then that God knows how to find us I'd hope. And if they want to punish people for not believing in them, then they aren't a god worthy of worship in the first place.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
