RE: Without citing the bible, what marks the bible as the one book with God's message?

And my answer was an observation on your answer. My observation on your recent observation on my observation (confused yet?) is that you either still don't get what atheism is or you're trying to come off as smart. I don't just not believe in your god, however you wish to define it; there are more gods and similar inventions that I don't believe in than you could probably name. It is the whole concept of requiring a god that I find a delusion, though I can accept why people do it for the most part. That's why I threw in that "if" up there.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Maybe i was being flippant as I can't understand why a comment can't be just taken for what it is and the truth of the comment based on the content and context rather than bore me with the constant attempts to attack a false representation of my God. And I also fail to understand what a good communicator as you are, as you seem under the impression that you have not explained already what your beliefs about God are. I got it.

You ought to know by now that no representation of gods is immune from criticism here. If attacking a false representation of your god bores you, all you have to do is stop creating false representations of it that invite such attacks. I added nothing to the model of your god that you hadn't already expressed.

I present a true representation of My GOD to the best of my ability and any confusion I have in representing it is also do to the limits of human understanding's ability of describing what is beyond it's understanding. The fact that you find this problematic is your problem.

I have no problem with that; you were the one who considered the representation of your god on which I made my observations a false one. As I said, I added nothing to that model that you hadn't already expressed, so the false representation is yours, not mine. If you have a problem with that, the solution is an easy one.

Well, where I was is where I am and I tend not to go out much, but it's been an average January day here.
This is much more fun than making up gods!

Well I went back to work to and I had a good day that was also more fun than making up gods also.
It would appear there are lots more fun things to do than making up gods.
Although saying that I actually can't know because in truth I have never made up any gods.

Well, apart from the one you got upset about, but then as you recognised that's what people do if they need to have such things.
