Does this God affect my life in any noticeable way? Can I get anything from it by praying? Does it have any way of communicating with me?
Words have value. They help us understand each other. By how you describe yourself, you don't have a religion. "God" is you word for the universe so by definition you are an Atheist who likes to play word games.
If your God is just the universe and existence then you aren't describing a God. You are an Atheist. The universe will exist long past the death of the last human and it will be indifferent to our extinction.
What do you believe then? Are you a Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, or what? You came on this debate to dispute what I said about the old testament and gave me some bullshit about Jesus and kept restating that God is the ultimate reality. That's just making empty statements with no useful information.
Just because I hate someone, that doesn't mean that I think they should be killed. Your religion will die out naturally with every new scientific discovery and every new generation. Time and education is our greatest weapons against religion.
So your God isn't really a God? It's just the universe? That means you are a deist. Then why are you referencing the Jesus character.
What you call vision is better described as religious beer goggles. It helps you distort reality so you can play pretend. I would rather look at reality and except it for what it is.
Give me one verifiable thing that your God has done. Just one.
I don't care how many properties you tack on to it. I can call a coffee cup God and say that the fact that I can hold it proves God exists. Give me one verifiable thing that your God has done.
1b still doesn't apply to me because I can't be at war with an imaginary thing. My problem is with the believers because the believers are real unlike their God. I'm definitely not afraid of your imaginary friend because imaginary things can't do anything. That's why we know that Gods are imaginary. They don't have any noticeable affect on our world. We can't see gravity or the wind but we can see the affect that they have on our world. If it has no affect on our world then it has no properties that can be examined. If it can't be examined it is safe to say it doesn't exist.
My beef is with you, not your imaginary friend. Just like how I would have a problem with a mental patient flinging shit at me because the aliens in his head told him to.
I wouldn't trust a devout believer around my child for the same reason why I wouldn't allow a mental patient around my child. Statistically you have a higher possibility of harming my child.
You freaks have been a detriment to human development all throughout history. Book burnings, witch burnings, the burning of scientists, the torture of children in the attempt to preserve the dogma for the next generation. I don't hate your God. I hate you with every fiber of my being. I don't care if you are a nice person in life because you are promoting something that is one of the most toxic thing in our society. You are keeping the candle burning for future generations of Hitlers, inquisitions, crusades, and genocides.
You are the devils we should fear. It wasn't the Atheists who molested me as a child. It was a Catholic. It wasn't the Atheists that drove my wife to jump off a bridge 7 years ago it was her Catholic family that molested and abused her and told her that she was dirty and ugly. It wasn't the Atheists who snuck into her hospital room in droves to tell her that she is going to hell because she tried to end her life. It was you freaks.
What is your evidence then? If you are so sure there is a God then you must have something incredible to back your beliefs up.
I don't believe in the Christian God because it is a character from a fairytale. It would be like worshiping Donald Duck. The Bible was written by ignorant savages who thought bats were birds and whales were fish. They thought Pi was a round number. They thought the earth was flat and that sprinkling the blood from a bird on someone cured leprosy. They worshipped a God who's power could be bested by iron chariots.
How am I superstitious?
Superstitious: having or showing a belief in superstitions.
Superstition:
1.excessively credulous belief in and reverence for supernatural beings.
2. a widely held but unjustified belief in supernatural causation leading to certain consequences of an action or event, or a practice based on such a belief.
You call me uneducated and then use a basic word without understanding what it means.
"When you point the finger, you got three pointing back at you"
When you are trying to sound wise, it's best not to put your foot in your mouth.
You enjoy acting like a sycophant to a imaginary magic man.
Sycophant: a person who acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage.
synonyms: yes-man, bootlicker, brown-noser, toady, lickspittle, flatterer, flunky, lackey, spaniel, doormat, stooge, cringer, suck, suck-up
You tell me that I need to be more humble and own up to your God but you don't even know what it means to have humility because you can't even adequately describe it.
What you are is a delusional sycophant with no dignity or shame who believes in magic.
Go blow your imaginary friend Jesus some more you delusional sycophant. You are too weak to except that there is no ultimate justice and no ultimate reward. Bad people do bad things and sometimes they get away with it. Stop being do childish that you think you need a magic baby blanket to put over your head to keep the monsters away.
I call you replies word salad because they don't have any intellectual value. I'm not a Christian. I don't believe Jesus actually existed as described in the Bible because there is no evidence that he existed. But even if he did, he still wouldn't have any right to pass judgment on us.
