Casper, the friendly god

Post by Advocate »

If there really was a god, and he really was on your side, why would he Not regularly alter the laws of physics for your convenience? Why would he Not show himself unambiguously? Answers to this sort of question are not only special pleading, they're irrelevant, because any other answer would be as well grounded.

Appeal to mysteriousness is epistemological bankruptcy. Your god is a ghost.

But the laws of physics were altered in a way so that you could be conveniently born. And, if you lived properly and correctly along-side Nature, Itself, then God/Nature, Itself, would be on your side.

But while you are abusing Nature, then do not expect Nature to be on your side.

1. Get the misconception that God is a 'he' out of that head, and then this will partly help you to learn and understand who and what God Truly IS.

2. Once you learn and KNOW what God IS, then you will see EXACTLY how God is ALWAYS showing Its Self. But to be able to SEE this, you first have to get rid of the BELIEF that God does not possibly exist.

Leading and especially misleading questions, which contain absolutely irrational and illogical thinking, like the one you provided here, can SHOW exactly one's current BELIEFS.

You can BELIEVE whatever you want to BELIEVE, but just BELIEVING some 'thing' does NOT make it real NOR even remotely true.
