There are pseudo-sages who will tell you those situations were chosen by the souls before birth in order to learn certain lessons.

I don't disagree totally with it but activism should be in another forum or subsection. It should not be deciding sliding scales of plausibility and relevance of science based god claims in just this forum. Thats all.

the no-god of-gaps is closing equally as fast. because its something, not nothing. Denying everything is just falling away piece by piece.
Since Transponder lives in Wales, he probably has less influence than I do toward changing the US Constitution, and my influence is practically nil. Why do you keep bringing that up?

And if they have proof, I will consider their claim.

Uh-huh. Me too.

Even convincing evidence would probably tilt my scale.

To undercut his pretense that he is just objectively presenting the truth about our Reality based on existing evidence. He is NOT! He and his atheist pals actually believe they have the unadulterated, unvarnished and ONLY Truth abut our Reality until proven otherwise, which is as preposterous as the fundamentalists' belief in the infallibility of their divine revelations recorded by men.

What in the world does that have to do with Arach's claim that Trans is trying to eliminate religion in America?

Petunia, I have noticed that you have attacked at least a dozen of my posts in this thread, and that's ok I'm used to that.

You seem very disturbed over the things concerning God. I just thought that maybe there is something that could be explained from Gods perspective that may help you understand whatever it is that is really troubling you.

You really don't see the relevance of undercutting his pretended objectivity by revealing his actual motives????

Are going to play "what's the motive"? I actually see Trans as one of the few people on this board willing to discuss belief using nothing but logic.

None of this has anything to do with my question. Is there a reason you are uncomfortable answering?
