God Bless. [/quote] I can assure you, have no clue as to what your book is really about, what group's are behind it, and it's purpose... You are participating in an experiential learning process, along with everyone in this galaxy... That you have fallen for a paradigm put forth by other players who wish to control and use you, is the process you have chosen at this time... Be where you are - stay where you are - enjoy where you are.. But, don't think for a minute you can state your paradigm as fact, that applies to everyone else... You continue, everyone continues, regardless of any paradigm you choose to believe... [/quote] Blah blah blah.. [/quote] Very intelligent of you... I think you might be able to find a forum that caters to children - google it... [/quote] I didn't state anything, my post was aimed to my fellow chistians, then you pop up and talk to me about your experiential learning process.... [/quote]

Let's get right to it.
No one can prove that "God" or any variation thereof the concept is real.
No one can prove that "God" or any variation thereof the concept is NOT real.
All arguments are moot without assuming a "given".
How can I say all this with certainty?
BECAUSE NO ONE CAN PROVE THAT THEY'RE NOT DREAMING RIGHT NOW, with fabricated memories and all.
No matter what, FAITH is required just to participate in whatever you think is reality.
Both atheists and God-believers base their beliefs on FAITH in experiential data.
A true atheist "lacks a belief" and that is a perfectly honest position to hold. However, the rabid atheists who argue endlessly that "there is no God" are taking the same leap of faith that the proselytizing Christians are.
SO--is there a GOD?
My experiential data (a near-death experience that was seemingly as "real" as anything else I've experienced) says YES.
That's why I believe in God.
But I'd be a liar if I said that my NDE provides "proof"--even to myself. After all, my dreams are as "real" as anything even when I'm walking on the ceiling and lightsaber fighting and flying a MIG--all with a head full of outlandish memories.
So...all of you know-it-alls arguing FOR or AGAINST the concept of "God" need to
because your arguments ARE DEMONSTRABLY FLAWED.
