Enlightened rants...

[Mystic]

All attributes go astray regarding you, your names fall shattering before reaching their origin, and there is no path to knowing you without acknowledging there is no way to truly know you! A drop in the ocean would be an overstatement of what we are to you yet you value and are grateful for all good of your creation. You hate evil and are angered by it, yet forbear before vengeance, are patient in that regard, till we feel safe from your wrath, and you only implement justice to the evil of those who equate in worship others, in extreme grief and tears as expressed "O grieving anguish over my servants, there doesn't come to them a Messenger except regarding him would mock" (Suratal Yaseen). And were it not that there is no path of value but in searching for you, glorifying you, and valuing you above all else through your name, you would not have punished those who turn away from you. But dark indeed are the avenues that lead away from you and evil are those who oppose the door you have opened and abandon the leaders who guide by your command and the authority that is your light, face, and name. Cursed be who recites your book and seeks to impose his view on it as opposed to being guided by it and learning from it and seeking the truth by it and reflecting on its decisive signs and clear bright proofs.

You're evil...and you're evil, and you're evil....errybodies evil!

[Astreja]

You're evil...and you're evil, and you're evil....errybodies evil!

Evil cars for everyone!

This means nothing to me.

This thread's been up for eight fucking days.  When do we get to the 'enlightened' bit?

[Neo-Scholastic]

Yes, but if the towheaded ram doesn't espy the majesty of the dawn, how then are we to conceptualise the disparity between true love and the ersatz love as betwixt the eternally separated offspring of the immortal unknowable infinite and eternity itself? One cannot possibly exist without sure and certain knowledge of the other, therefore they must both necessarily exist even at the expense of themselves. Consequently our mortal endeavours must ultimately fail to seek that which our souls yearn to find; the ultimate truth that subsists within all things that are truly consequential to the infinite mortality of every corporeal entity, thus giving verisimilitude to all logically contingent notions of serendipitous and iconoclastic profundity.

Now prove me wrong.

Well, first you are making inter-textual allusions to nonverbal semiotic structures without properly referencing the culture specific connotations operating within any given subjective linguistic structure thereby confusing them with arbitrary symbol system conventions. You also failed to note that discursive expressions are heavily laden with iconic novelties that cannot be deconstructed into universalizing conceptual categories.

Everyone knows that.

You're a trollish moron; leave us alone.

Reading a book that was written by man is not ever going to somehow, magically produce any sort of deity that I can physically see, touch, smell and hear.

It just doesn't happen in the real world, no matter how a much a person wants to believe.

true

 But you keep on trucking and trying to push that. I know better.

You do know better, and know better that is not what I am saying.

hat is the proof I require and even if he presents himself, he's still going to have to answer some very hard questions, namely why he is such a dick to "his" own people.

I am sure he can show you all that through the book of God which is 

1. not book of man
2. Can make you see God and remind you of him.
3. And he can make you properly recite Quran and download information through reflection he helps you with and defeats the sorcery of the dark enemy of humanity and his forces regarding it.

You can ask the hardest questions, they are all easy for him to answer.

You can pick up any book written by anyone, anywhere, and if you wish desperately enough to find a deity hiding in those lines of text, you will find one.  You will create one.  Then you will convince yourself that you didn't create it, a magical invisible friend actually talked to you.  When you take off the worshipful glasses used to read a religious text, you will see that what is written there is very obviously man-made and flawed.
