Just like aliens or bigfoot - every time I try to take a picture, even with the best camera - it comes out fuzzy. All the other toes are perfect, but I guess the divine nature of the pinkie mucks up the electronics a bit.

I believe in Evolution
Religion and religious understanding evolve.
How many Catholics do you suspect are aware that the Pope/Vatican has recognized that the God of Christianity and the God of Islam are one in the same?
Don't panic it's organic.
Day by day, year by year, there is less and less of any real significance dividing the major faiths and more common ground and cooperation being established.
Yea....it's like the diversity of the colors and shapes of flowers....unified in a single garden
Sort of like the vast majority of the worlds population jumps into the ocean of theism and many/most percieve only their own beachfront and are only dimly aware (if at all) that all the oceans are linked?
Seen from space as 'One'?
Kinda like that?
Or kinda like most of the world finds that adheering to The Golden Rule is the gravity that keeps them and their community grounded?
When you tell me- "god is not understood in the same way. period. that is fact. that is the way it is"...I can only advise God, for me, is "understood in the same way" and there are billions who share that understanding.

i think the idea of god comes from an innate sense of comfort as a defense mechanism for most people
sort of like there are more followers than leaders...
or more people follow the drum beat of those who follow their own...
what do you think?

Answer was provided in #1115-
"....would think it would be solid proof there IS god?
I wouldn't......but surely you hold the inverse of your proposition to be true....?"

i just want to know why you called him shirley...
seriously why would he hold the inverse to be true.
if black is the absence of color then that would be true to the color of black
the inverse would change the color...if all the colors were present then it would be white...
i'm not sure i follow your logic...

Ah, don't know how I missed that.
I can see your point though, how any argument of "diversity of beliefs" as an argument against God fails.

I think you just ignored everything I said in prior post and went on to new/different issues questions.
I think that happens a lot and I'm, sort of, getting used to it.
I think it's late here and I'll go to bed.
Goodnight!

Yes, but most of them focus too much on what couldn't possibly be God.
Unfortunatly, your pinkie toe will most likely be ignored

well we were talking about the idea of god is not universally understood the same way...
and the reason MOST people have a general sense of a god is because of the reasons i stated...
sleep tight...

Almost enough to stay up for...
Because I would never call him Lateforbreakfast!
It wouldn't.... it would make just as much sense as the original propisition....not much/none.
Now we are even!

how about this...
since black is what we empirically agree upon the inverse of what makes black would not hold true...
so either god is understood empirically or not.

No i would not.
because it did not start out evenly distributed.
lets see
first ancient hebrews started the abrahamic god.
a thousand years later with people that already know the fables and history branch away into christianity with a proclaimed son of god.
then a few hundred years later after already knowing the same history the muslims start their religion.
you want proof, show me god went and talked to all different races and cultures at the same time and the same storys spread evenly.
You cannot and fail this exercise

is judaism worldwide???
or have storys evolved from the original story as time progressed over a 1500+ year period.

gods miracles are surely evidence and they are mostly in holy books

a story or fable written by someone who never witnessed said event is not really proof of any kind bud.

wonder why that is?
hopefulboy

why?
first)gods miracles are not events!
second)almost all events are proofs of a reason.
its not essential to see or be witness to believe something or understand it
