I can guess what should be the honest answer that wont follow.

"I had a dream and refuse to accept the fact that it was just a dream. I also failed to take into account all the other dreams, which a majority we don't remember, and or chose to ignore the ones that don't fit. I fail to consider sample rate errors and selection bias. I am merely seeing what I want to see."

My eyes were open to something I did not know could exist. The clarity and realism of it has been set in my mind as a physical memory and not a dream. (meaning it seems and plays out as if I were there.) It is as real as anything else I have experienced in this life.

Honestly. If my experience of God was like yours i would most likly share your beliefs. I am not a man of great faith. I am a show me person and even then... I've experienced alot because it took alot to convince me, and even then I question and get scared when things don't go as I think they should. The only real difference between you an me? A/S/K.

IF you earnestly Take God up on His promise He will show up.

Didn't you claim that you had that particular dream before you started A/S/King? Before you'd taken "god up on his promise"?

Sorry. Good logic doesn't involve drinking the Kool Aid first.

Now see if you can spot the pattern.

If you earnestly take God up on his promise, he will show up.
If you earnestly take Allah up on his promise, he will show up.
If you earnestly take Yahweh up on his promise, he will show up.
If you earnestly take Vishnu up on his promise, he will show up.
If you earnestly believe the Ouija Board works, you can talk to the dead.
If you earnestly believe witches are dangerous, you should kill them.
If you earnestly believe slamming planes into buildings will protect Allah, then you should do it.

Assuming first is a cluster fuck for humanity.

No, I don't swallow crap merely because someone else does.

I'll make you a deal Drich, if I ever buy a business, you can come and work for me. Every pay period when you ask for your paycheck I'll just say "It's an invisible paycheck, if you earnestly believe it is there, you will get paid." See if that logic will get your bills paid.

How will he show up?

You have absolutely no clue how easily humans can "feel" something falsely. Having something "feel real" is not the same as actually being real.

Phantom pain is a REAL psychological condition when someone loses a limb. They are NOT feeling a ghost limb. They are having a misfire in their brain that sends false signals to their brain that makes them feel that false pain.

You are merely mistaking your brain activity as being something real.

If you want to believe badly enough that something is real, you will, but that does not make it real.

Yea, but that is nothing compared to 2000 years of credulity, for Christians, and 5,000 plus if you are Jewish. And for 3,000 years the ancient Egyptians thought their sun god was going to save them.

Throw a virgin in a volcano and your crops grow and the volcano wont get angry at you.

There has not been one period in human history where a superstition wasn't concocted and perpetuated by gullible people.
