Oh, for fuck's sake, don't pretend you don't understand that 'light' and 'darkness' are metaphors in that passage.

I guess Pauls experience was a metaphor too then huh?

Ok, let's grant that 'John' and 'Paul' (and Ringo too, if you like) knew that "God" is a photon. What does the darkness mean in the verse? Dark matter or something?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Image isn't working for me. Could you summarise?

Oh, right. So do you mean I'm backpedalling, or you are? Because like I said, I never made a claim from which to backpedal.

Metaphor? Next you'll be saying he isn't literally a Word either. He is the Word, and apparently that word is photon.

How could a being that doesn’t experience time knowingly interact with those that do? Especially in the cause and effect manner that’s so prevalent in the bible?

In the case of photons, it’s not just that they cannot experience time, but that the dilation also affects distance. From their perspective, they reach their destination instantaneously.

But why do people deserve to be punished for believing in what isn't proven? What's so criminal about that?
Doesn't punishing people with hell if they don't believe put the onus on god to provide proof?
At least if he is a moral being? To say nothing of being the most moral being.

Evolutionist believe it's criminal to reject evolutionary science, believe me I've heard it many times on this site.

God says that one can look to nature and see that He exists. He gave His Son to redeem mankind. 
Man brought sin into this world and only because God loves us so much did He give us a way out of sin. Man is the guilty party, we continue to sin every day defying what God did for us. He didn't have to it wasn't a requirement that He save a world and it's people from themselves, love of His creation is part of our saving grace. God created a perfect world and mankind has ruined it with sin and so the burden should be on us, however God took it on Himself to bring about a way for man to escape what he did.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

How do you know what "God" said?
