Zone1 Why Doesn't God Just Show Himself?

[Blues Man]

No, I'm just making an observation of what you do. Your hiding from it just shows you know what you are doing is wrong.

I criticize religion and have openly admitted my contempt for it so I don't see that as hiding.

You choose to see that as a personal attack.

Maybe that's why you ran away from your magic challenge thread

I choose to see it for what it is; an attempt to subordinate religious beliefs.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

You choose to see that as a personal attack.

100%

Because he internalizes his magical, evidence free beliefs.

Because he has no choice. When "Because I say so!" is all one has, criticism of that belief cannot be handled any other way. Because he has no other tools available.

IDGAF what you see it as.

I see organized religious institutions as a blight on humanity

Perfect. In another thread you said religion is detrimental. Here you say religion is a blight on humanity.

And you don't want to abolish religion, Karl? Because if religion is a blight on humanity and is detrimental to humanity then it is logical to believe that religion should be abolished. But apparently you are too big of a pussy to admit that, right?

Yeah two ways of saying the same thing.

Isn;t language fun?

And you are projecting your penchant for controlling people onto me.

IDGAF who you bow down to or whose feet you kiss

If you want to delude yourself go ahead.

 

[Ringo]

Tell me how God can be angry if Wrath is one of the deadly sins?

 

[ding]

Yeah two ways of saying the same thing.

I’m projecting that you hide your true beliefs, Vlad.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

So have we figured out why the gods don't show themselves?

I'm pretty sure I know why.

Maybe you are being tested.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Maybe you are being tested.

You mean, all of us.

Yeah, maybe. First of all, how petty and shallow and unethical of the gods to behave this way.

Second, maybe it's because the gods are bashful.

 

[ding]

No. Just you specifically.

There you go telling me what I believe again.

I do not care what Iron Age religion you want to fall for. You seem to need to think I care what you do.

Get over yourself

 

[ding]

I do not care what Iron Age religion you want to fall for. You seem to need to think I care what you do.

No, I am telling you what I observe. You seek to subordinate the dominant religion of the land. That is exactly what I observe.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

No. Just you specifically.

Weird! And doubtful.

 

[ding]

Weird! And doubtful.

Not necessarily. Truth can sometimes be stranger than fiction. For all you know there could be an infinite number of universes and this universe exists just to test you.

Yes, maybe. We can make up infinite possibilities.

 

[ding]

Yes, maybe. We can make up infinite possibilities.

It’s not that you can make them up as much as it is you can’t rule them out.

 

[Blues Man]

No, I am telling you what I observe. You seek to subordinate the dominant religion of the land. That is exactly what I observe.

You're not a very good observer

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

It’s not that you can make them up as much as it is you can’t rule them out.

Right, I can make up infinite possi ilities that cannot be ruled out.

Which brings into stark relief how special and unique anyone's magical fetishes are not.
