Why isn't reality the absolute standard for truth? Is that a bus? BAM! Yes.He is the absolute standard of Truth. If there's no such standard, truth doesn't actually exist, only opinion.

I was responding to someone who claimed it's insane to claim to hear from God. That would make the vast majority of humans insane.Then you should make that clearer. As written it was a claim. All you need to do is to preface your beliefs with an "I believe that"
Here let me show you:
"I believe that prayer by definition is a conversation with God. It's not a one way conversation."
No one can fault you too much for that.

I think you are confusing 'perspective' for 'reality'. If I think that coffee enemas cure cancer, and you think I am bonkers the reality of whether or not coffee enemas cure cancer is not determined by either of our perspectives. It either cures cancer in reality, or it does not.What is reality? These forums show us that everyone has a different reality.

It's not just what I believe, it's what most theists believe on some level.
Though quite a few do think that God responds to them, they are all almost certainly wrong. Since the messages contradict each other quite often one would have to say that they are almost all wrong.I was responding to someone who claimed it's insane to claim to hear from God.

It’s not to me that Jesus Christ is the Truth, He demonstrated and proved that. He just so happened to show that to me and at the end of this age, will show that. The Bible makes clear these things, that every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
"Albert Einstein stated that he believed in the pantheistic God of Baruch Spinoza."
Religious and philosophical views of Albert Einstein - Wikipedia.
I'm not trying to prove God exists. I'm explaining what people believe.
Pantheist?Which is not a theistic god.
Hence Einstein wasn't a theist.
But Einstein was fond of Jesus (as represented in the Gospels) and he believed he was an actual historical figure. He said he is "enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene" and that his sayings are beautiful.How about Einstein, he not a theist, he was pretty disparaging about the bible and Abrahamic religions.
Or deist, or possibly even atheist. People rarely read the claim that he was not an atheist in context. In context he just did not like the firebrand atheists of his time. In other words he would be what is called a soft atheist today.Pantheist?
Yes, some of the teachings of Jesus in the Bible are actually profound. Some of the teachings of Jesus in the Bible were not said by Jesus.But Einstein was fond of Jesus (as represented in the Gospels) and he believed he was an actual historical figure. He said he is "enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene" and that his sayings are beautiful.
Pantheist?
How about some of these?Far more interesting as *negative* evidence for an intelligent creator is the lack of abstract representational art in the universe. For that matter, it is lacking outside of human endeavors.
So, some of the earliest cave paintings have art that clearly represents animals in the environment. That is a sign of an intelligence operating that is capable of abstract thought. And this is different than simply having abstract design.
But such representations are completely lacking.
Why would that be?
Sure.But Einstein was fond of Jesus (as represented in the Gospels) and he believed he was an actual historical figure. He said he is "enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene" and that his sayings are beautiful.
How about some of these?
