There is no doubt a god, the question is what is it?

This is a physical impossibility.

At least, it's impossible for them to be next to each other in the sky.  The full moon requires the moon to be 180° away from the sun in the sky, and the maximum elongation for Venus is about 47°.  Venus and a crescent moon is much more doable.

Ultimately, it is the same shit.

Um...no, it literally does.

Well, whatever he replies with will most certainly be a #2.

I will make a new thread about it in two weeks. Have to study for exams. Will be gone till then. I hope to see you there.

IOW, I need time to make shit up.

You never prove anything, just lie.  So that's nothing new either.

MysticKnight Wrote:What do you value the most Min? Whatever that is, that is a deity/god you have taken.

You can try to redefine the word, but the word always was a degree of value.

You're the one redefining the word:

de·i·ty

noun

noun: deity; plural noun: deities

a god or goddess (in a polytheistic religion).
"a deity of ancient Greece"

synonyms: god, goddess, divine being, supreme being, divinity, immortal; More
creator, demiurge; godhead

•divine status, quality, or nature.
"a ruler driven by delusions of deity"

•the creator and supreme being (in
a monotheistic religion such as Christianity).
noun: Deity; noun: the Deity[/i]

Calling 'whatever you value most' a deity is just a contemptible rhetorical trick that shows how much integrity you've lost since you stopped being an agnostic.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
