So, you have no answer. You don't "know" that Joe Biden is in the White House. He could be in the street, lying under his bicycle, or falling down another flight of stairs, or in the salon, sniffing hair.
Or he might not even exist. He could be a "hyper-real" AI, programmed to fool you into thinking you have a senile president.
So what justifies your confidence that Biden is real?
Absolutely shameless!!!
Still no answer.
Okay, let's bring this around to a point that his best buddy henry quirk and I discussed before he put me in the penality box.
Now, henry once admitted to me that in regard to the "big stuff" issues we discuss here, he had been wrong in the past. But whenever I suggested that implies that he may well be wrong about them in the present and in the future, well, nothing from him that I recall.
So, okay, does IC maintain here that in regard to his own answers -- the videos, quotes from Christian Bible, his arguments -- that he has never been wrong?
Suggesting that unless the answer you give is entirely in sync with his own it may as well be the same as not answering at all.
Indeed, is there anyone here in regard to IC's
17,200 plus posts who can recall him either admitting that he was wrong about something or that an answer you gave qualified as worthy of consideration if it didn't entirely jibe with his own answer.
A single instance of this?

ad hominem nonsense, and petulant posturing. Either you answer, or you don't.
And
that you don't is manifest.
Okay, but please...
please...don't let him put me in the penalty box!
And, sure, let him do what he can to keep henry out of
His penalty box, okay?

as if it were certainty; and you apply a completely different standard to God, one you deliberately set beyond the highest levels of probability, at the level of a demand for absolute certainty.
When have I ever said that I am myself in possession of proof that they exist? I don't even have the indisputable proof that we do not live in a sim world, a dream world, a Matrix contraption.
For all I know this entire exchange is unfolding in a wholly determined universe going all the way back to what I don't have a fucking clue about regarding the existence of existence itself.
Nope, I'm just pointing out how preposterous his own claims are that in fact the Christian God resides in Heaven. That he has proved this here!!!
I've even given him an escape clause...a "condition".
Besides, I'm not asking others to take this exchange seriously. With IC, I'm basically just here to entertain them. And to amuse myself.
Well, at least until he posts something that so impresses me, that I have to take it seriously.
Which is why I ask others here to be on the lookout for that. To bring it to my attention immediately.
After all, there's still a part of me that wants to believe in the Christian God again. I haven't forgotten just how comforting and consoling I did feel back then when I did. And, believe me, truly, truly devoutly.
