Quote:selfless conscience, instinct, scripture, and nature of actions........those would be pretty poor tests. OTOH< I applaud you for considering god to be testable. Name your god, let's test it? We'll test it against selfless conscience, instincts, scripture, and the nature of actions. How does that sound?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Faith is utter belief in God, and a reflection of that belief in all aspects of life at all times. It is verifiable and strengthened through testing ones own Faith continually. Faith in selfless Unity for Good. (January 7, 2016 at 7:09 pm)popsthebuilder Wrote:(January 4, 2016 at 11:54 am)robvalue Wrote: What the hell is an atheist's agenda?Generally? In my experience, the "militant" ones have a very strong agenda to end all organized religious practice. Is that your experience in fantasyland, that you're referring to?

Like that blue butt Rafiki said to Simba "see he lives in you". It's up to you Rhythm. Will you look harder into your reflection or are you satisfied with saying, it's only your reflection?

That's absolutely bullshit. Sorry Peace Faith in selfless Unity for Good. RE: Scientific knowledge versus spiritual knowledge

@Mystic
Perhaps part of you, but not me. I've got nothing to do with your god. My reflection is, by definition, my reflection. If in my reflection there -were- the face of god...we'd be in a hell of alot of trouble. One has to wonder, though..what part of me, in your estimation, reflects god? What if my comments, to you, are that reflection? Perhaps your god is trying to tell you, through me, that your statements regarding god and goodness are an embarrassment to god and goodness.
