Does God only work through Magic?

ITT: Drich attempts and fails at a *gotcha* moment; pivots sharply back to A/S/K.

Yawn.

Yawn.

But it was sort of cute, even exciting, while it lasted.

Drich, do you any answer to where god came from, other then the typical special
pleading answer of it always existed?

that's an easy one.

to have a point of origin refers to linear thought bound by a forward progression of time. So what is time? Time is the MEASURE of passing of moments. God is From the point before the measure of time was possible.

And you know this how?

Did god NEED to create time?

Could a god, and everything, have existed BEFORE time and this god used it (time) to its advantage, after time came into existence, to fool you?

[h4ym4n]

Ok, fine.

God, I wish to see some evidence of your existence. I am told often enough that you know what is in my heart (being a poetic euphemism for the core of my being and not literally the organ powering my circulatory system); thus you ought to know that my wish is a sincere one as well as what I would consider satisfactory evidence. You would know that I cannot be persuaded by ambiguous coincidences, natural phenomena that happen anyway, convoluted and self-serving pseudological arguments, dreams, bible or kerrang verses, pronouncements or indeed threats from your followers, or anything else of a similarly weak and unconvincing nature. According to many if not all of your followers, you are the same god that created the Universe and made a woman from a bone, so surely I am not asking for anything beyond your capabilities. The only criteria I ask is that the evidence be clear, unambiguous and, without any other explanation, point without question to your existence and yours alone - even and especially should the answer turn out to be no. All this I ask you in the context of every verse in the book you supposedly wrote or caused to be written in which it is promised that you will answer every prayer honestly asked, as well as Drich's insistence on his A/S/K system (whatever you take that to mean in practice) and indeed any other ceremonial ritual necessary for the propagation of such requests. Thank you.

Ditto, god.

Incidentally, I know it's only been six hours or so but nothing to report just yet. Can't expect miracles, I suppose.

Would you views change if you received exactly the evidence that Ditch claims to have received?

[Cyberman]

If I got something that pointed unambiguously to a god as the only possible answer, then sure. I'd be stupid not to. The Holmesian Maxim weaponised with Occam's Razor. And it's not like I'm asking for more than what would be expected of every other thing, from stones to stars.

You're a clever little bugger aren't you Stimbo.
You "know" it's not going to work because you intentionally "forgot" to authorise the prayer with "AMEN".
I suspect you didn't want to risk it!

[Cyberman]

Oh snap. I had to forget something.
