Your answer should not depend on my reason for asking the question. I'll try again:Not at all. And it is a bit rude to avoid my question and then ask me a question. Let me ask again:S
Thank you for your indictment of me. I will file it with the others....*flush*You asked for the prancing pony and the dancing dog. A juggling bear next? You know I know we know they know--what. Some past disillusionment has brought you to the act of casting doubt in public for all to see of the words of your forefathers regarding a religion which has in some way oppressed your life or disappointed its expectations for the Divine.
Now you want to perform a public execution of that very same belief to exorcise that disillusionment as justification guilt of doubt. Only you don't just want to execute the fear and guilt of lack of belief in yourself, you want to instill doubt in others as well, to gain company in the cold Godless rooms of life. All you have accomplished is to cast doubt on yourself.
Faith is not for the faithful to prove or disprove on demand. You chose particular words of mine to weaponize against me, here in public, in an effort to make them--and me seem foolish in order to drum up so-called atheist sympathy. But the burden of proof or disproof lies with you in the act of calling out to the public square for showdown and trial, as does an examination--a personal reflection of why those words of mine troubled you so.
Now then, why does the concept of God speaking to the individual so disturb you. A summarized personal history would be sufficient.
So, you say a god talks to you. How so? Do you hear a voice? Please clarify.
So, the concept of God speaking to man has scarred your life? How so?
What do you mean, when you say a god talks to you? Do you hear a voice? or is it more, a feeling?
Or is it ruder or perhaps more disingenuous to hide behind your reason for asking the question in the first place? You need better bait to catch out the fish inside of you. You've called yourself out in the asking. Now prove or disprove your motivation.
When you say a god talks to you, what do you mean? Do you hear a voice?
And fail . . . again, until you come out from behind the bulwark of self-righteousness. You mistake truth and justification of cause for obdurate insistence. Insofar as the concept of faith, you're proving your own in this pursuit. I understand you seek reassurance for the core of doubt that brought you to this thread. Tell me, is it God's voice driving you so to seek my reinforcement of your wavering belief?
