I don't need any excuses because my religion has no doctrines or dogmas.
How often do you speak to your friend? How often do you speak to your parent? The more the merrier. But even if he did it just once, it would be better than what we have now; nothing at all...and how often is G-d supposed to do this?
Just once.. or every day .. or every year?
Why is this ludicrous? If God kept constant communication, this would be a regular thing and nobody would deny him.It's ludicrous to expect G-d to speak to people who He knows is in denial.
According to your holy text the devil don’t deny God exist. He may not like God, but he doesn’t deny his existence.Why should G-d speak to devils?
And how is that working out for him? We talking about perhaps an 80%-90% failure rate?G-d is able to guide people without having to speak "by loudhailer".
He is well aware of what eveybody is thinking, as there is a part of G-d in all of us.
I think it was your Jesus who said "my sheep know my voice" If God kept in constant contact with us, they would know his voice.That doesn't mean it is God. It could be a trickster Alien with advanced technology.
Why?and the psychiatrist would also need a psychiatrist!
Then quit making excuses for him. Quit trying to justify why people claiming to speak for God is better than God speaking for himselfGod needs no excuses because God cannot make mistakes. As such God's followers cannot be MAKING any excuses for God.
What is obvious is that God chooses NOT to come out of hiding, and God only does what God chooses to do, period.
What I find unrealistic is when people claim God is all wise, yet he does foolish things; he is all knowing yet he does things that continue to fail, is all good yet does bad things. I’m not holding onto a fantasy, I’m questioning yours!I think you know this is unrealistic but yet you hold onto your fantasy.
Yeah; that’s what turned me away from theism. Sometimes 2 people can look at the same evidence and reach different conclusions.And that is exactly what I am suggesting you do, question, study and investigate.
Once you have done all of that belief comes naturally, as it came to me.
That is not necessary for Christians and they know the Voice of Jesus from scripture. They don't need to be contacted by God.I think it was your Jesus who said "my sheep know my voice" If God kept in constant contact with us, they would know his voice.
for hearing voices.Why?
It is better. God knows that because God is all-knowing.Then quit making excuses for him. Quit trying to justify why people claiming to speak for God is better than God speaking for himself.
Messengers of God have not failed to get their messages across.What I find unrealistic is when people claim God is all wise, yet he does foolish things; he is all knowing yet he does things that continue to fail, is all good yet does bad things. I’m not holding onto a fantasy, I’m questioning yours!
Of course different people will come to different conclusions, everyone is different. What people will conclude and choose to believe is based upon their desires and preferences. Our desires and preferences come from a combination of factors such as childhood upbringing, heredity, education, and combined adult experiences.Yeah; that’s what turned me away from theism.

Not based on evidence then?Of course different people will come to different conclusions, everyone is different.

Yes, I've always thought that the B.man really ought to have seen a psychiatrist.for hearing voices.
That's obviously false.Why is this ludicrous? If God kept constant communication, this would be a regular thing and nobody would deny him.
That's obviously false.
It assumes that we are all sincere in as much as we will all obey G-d, if He only would "show Himself".
It is clear that mankind is not like that. They are quite capable of disobedience.
My point is, if God kept in constant contact with his creation, they would know his voice, and all the false religions would not have even gotten started.That is not necessary for Christians and they know the Voice of Jesus from scripture. They don't need to be contacted by God.
for hearing voices.
Actually you aren’t defending God, you’re defending your belief in God. See the hoops you gotta jump through to justify this belief?It is better. God knows that because God is all-knowing.
The job of the messenger is not just to get people believing in God, but their specific God of choice. Allah’s messenger was not trying to get people to pray to Jesus or Selassie, or Shiva, his message was to get you to pray to Allah; those praying to someone else is a failure on the messengers part.Messengers of God have not failed to get their messages across.
Most people in the world believe in God and a religion and its teachings because of a Messenger of God so that method has been very successful.
No it does not! It assumes nobody would deny his existence if he would only show himself.That's obviously false.

Based on the evidence which everyone views differently, according to their desires and preferences.Not based on evidence then?
If that's true, Jesus also should have seen one, since He also heard the Voice of God.....Yes, I've always thought that the B.man really ought to have seen a psychiatrist.
My point is that God does not communicate directly with anyone except His Messengers and all the hypotheticals -- if God did x or y -- is not going to change that.My point is, if God kept in constant contact with his creation, they would know his voice, and all the false religions would not have even gotten started.
I am not defending God because God needs no defense. I am just explaining what I believe God is.Actually you aren’t defending God, you’re defending your belief in God. See the hoops you gotta jump through to justify this belief?
The job of the Messenger is not just to get people believing in God, but rather to reveal a message and teachings and laws that are pertinent to the age in which the Messenger appears. There is only One God and many Messengers who all represented that God.The job of the messenger is not just to get people believing in God, but their specific God of choice. Allah’s messenger was not trying to get people to pray to Jesus or Selassie, or Shiva, his message was to get you to pray to Allah; those praying to someone else is a failure on the messengers part.
