Well, yes. You are born without a belief in God. It is only through your encounters with fellow humans that you may be imbued with a belief in a god. I wasn't born believing you couldn't divide by zero. I didn't even know what zero was. Btw, vix, welcome. Why not post an intro in the intro section to tell us more about you?

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?

I'm not sure what forum that is and most importantly what to say. Where would that be?

I grew up on 3 bean salad from KFC!
I would go and buy that and not buy any chicken!
They stopped selling it about 20 years ago though!
Can anyone confirm that it is sold by KFC in their country? (must be KFC)
I'd like to order a 40 foot container. (Actually better make that a 20 foot container, I got a little excited there for as moment)

Moderator Notice Just so no one else gets tripped up, this is an intro thread that is almost 2 years old.
