Does God only work through Magic?

Isn't supposed to have one. Kind of goes with the territory of being spirit. Only empty air, which also makes it very hard to spot.

Again we see the ever-diminishing role of the supernatural. Back in the day, demons just took control over your body and wreaked havoc. Now they've been relegated to creating chemical imbalances.

And what kind of pussy demon has to stoop to playing with brain chemistry, anyway?

But how do you know?  Ever see it?  Maybe he flies by farting for propulsion?  That's the beauty of this happy horseshit.  It can be whatever the imagination of the believer wants it to be.

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.

Yes, conjuring gods through mere assertion, while failing to recognize that our usual understanding of time/space and causation breaks down at a certain point when contemplating origins is easy.  Who would have thought it?    Rolleyes
That's the thing. the 'assertion' is indeed verifiable to anyone who will simply A/S/K. You all seem to want God to come to you, But if God is indeed all that He says He is wouldn't coming to you violate who God says He is especially after going through all that He did so you can come to Him.

Nope. We want you to shut up. There is no god.

Nope sorry, that is just a claim you like believing, and even as a mere naked assertion, the idea that I owe someone for something I had no consent in is utter bullshit. The god character as written as an idea, depicts a character who fakes empathy and caring to bring attention to himself. Real adult morality outside that comic book is when you do the right thing without expectation or seeking attention. The morality of the the god character reflects that of a selfish narcissist, on top of a book depicting a vengful god who commits acts of violence on dissenters or condones his followers to do such.

It has been divinely revealed to me the name of the first MetaGod:  It is Larry, creator of the bible god.
You have not sincerely executed the necessary action (A/S/S/K) to have this revelation.
Please update your fantasy.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh

Once again, Drich fails to recognize that many of us were Christians.  We are not unfamiliar with god.  We just saw through the bullshit.

Cue, "Well, you didn't actually A/S/K, or didn't do it right/hard enough/with enough conviction/whatever."  The theist's answer to a non existent god is to always place blame at the one seeking it.  Convenient, that.

Nope, I don't care one way or the other. I don't build my life on a mere supposition. Even more so, since there are abundant god suppositions to choose from. You're the one being certain that it's your particular brand of god. I'm not certain about anything, but that's the point. I go with what is known, not with what is believed.
