Nonsense, it's your mind which is stuffed full of concepts and religious beliefs. Sunyata is to religious beliefs as sunlight is to vampires, so it's clear that you haven't glimpsed it.

Clearly you are still confusing spiritual practice with religious beliefs. Beliefs are just beliefs, they're not authentic, however much you cling to them.

Haha...you are the only one that mentions beliefs...that is because atheistic belief can not imagine God is all there is.... For myself...God is not a belief...God is all there is..manifested in the flower...the mustard seed...even the atheist Norman...that you do not accept it does not alter the fact...it is only your desire to be god in your own imagination that causes you to reject truth...that is why atheists have so much hate for the God devoted souls....

You are the one who has the problem, you obviously can't stand atheists because they remind you how fragile your beliefs really are. Dawkins had it right about the God delusion, it's pure fantasy, something comforting to cling to when you can't cope with reality.

But you are not promoting non-ignorance.
You are dogmatically promoting dishonesty.

I have no problem atheists....it is a matter of logic that they believe there is no God, and so it follows logically that do not practice religion and thus know beans about it... Atheists I know never tell me nor other religious folk that God is a delusion even though as atheists they believe it... You though are an atheist who seems to have nothing better to do with your life than to come to RF every day for hours and hours to incessantly make derogatory comments on forums where there are religious folk posting...

Ben, why do atheism and atheists bother you so much?
You do realize, don't you, that if God were as obvious and nonarguable as math or chemistry, everyone would HAVE TO acknowledge him and pursue his benefits in the same, predictable and knowable way, right?
Why isn't your god as obvious and understandable as math or chemistry?

Read my post to Dr Evil above....you repeated his question...
Of course the Divine is not as obvious and understandable as the observable...for that reason it is written....straight is the path, narrow the gate, and difficult it is the path that leads to immortality...broad is the path, wide the gate, and easy it is the path that leads to destruction....

interesting that your "counterargument" kills your own "argument"....
Kinda reveals your "argument" is really nothing more than puff and fluff...
But I been telling you that for years...

What have I denied?
You fall back to this supposed ace in the hole retort, but you have not once been able to substantiate it....
Why is that?
*** STAFF REMINDER ***
Please remember that Rules 1 and 3 exist, guys. Some of this thread has gotten pretty bad, yo.
1. Personal Comments About Members and Staff
Personal attacks and name-calling, whether direct or in the third person, are strictly prohibited on the forums. Critique each other's ideas all you want, but under no circumstances personally attack each other or the staff. Quoting a member's post in a separate/new thread without their permission to challenge or belittle them, or harassing staff members for performing moderation duties, will also be considered a personal attack.
3. Trolling and Bullying
Where Rule 1 covers personal attacks, Rule 3 governs other behaviors and content that can generally be described as being a jerk. Unacceptable behaviors and content include:
1) Content (whether words or images) that most people would find needlessly offensive, especially when such content is posted just to get a rise out of somebody and/or is not part of a reasoned argument.
2) Defamation, slander, or misrepresentation of a member's beliefs/arguments, or that of a particular group, culture, or religion. This includes altering the words of another member to change their meaning when using the quote feature.
3) Antagonism, bullying, or harassment - including but not limited to personal attacks, slander, and misrepresentation - of a member across multiple content areas of the forums. Repeatedly targeting or harassing members of particular groups will also be considered bullying.

It does not belong to the business of science, simply put. Does it?

Depends how you define God, really - if God is a part of the observable universe, then I imagine scientific methodology can certainly be applied. Within Advaita Vedanta, God is the ultimate subject, rather than being object.

G-d is not part of the universe, though we see His attributes all the time working in it.
