You cannot give the meaning to your own statement?

How do you explain that you don't believe that there's a 26-eyed monster under your bed? Even if you checked just a minute ago, it could have materialized from the 13th dimension since then, you can't disprove that possibility...

The burden of proof is always with the seller, not the buyer.

No,I am not here trolling or anything. I am Agnostic myself but often find it hard to defend my views. I usually say "I cannot see God.." and then they say "You can see a Pen..but you know it is there even if it is not.."

And then I just say it does not seem right..

How do you all explain it?

The exact same way you explain away all the gods that you don't believe in.

Your posts, i know you believe in something, but i'm not understanding what exactly your believe is. Do you believe in a deity with arms and legs, or do you believe in some type of force that doesn't watch over you??

My comment was on how you described God (The Father). I said i don't believe in that (your description).

I have over 4,000 posts, that touch on what i believe. In order to save you the tedium i'll sum up.

I believe in my Father "God".
I believe in His Son "Jesus"
I believe in the Holy Helper (Ghost, Spirit) which can lead us into All truth.

They all have arms and legs, and the system they have put in place see's all things, even you and me.

godspeed,

freedom

And I believe in Frodo Baggins and the Flying Spaghetti Monster. After all, they are equally valid.
