Put up or shut up.

Because each person here could say "well I've seen God and he told me you haven't seen him, so there".

Bald unsupported assertions are the hallmark of a fibber...

So in other words, you are ok if people lie. Well, I'm telling the truth. You may not believe it, but I don't care if you believe me or not. I'm still going to tell you the truth as best I see it.

No, you're going to make bald unsupported assertions.

It is only a matter of time Drifting. Enjoy the present. One day, you'll publicly admit there is a God and I will be there and hear and see you do it. Believe it.

I have answered all your questions. Pretending otherwise does not do you any credit.


You have just pretended to, but your answer were always to questions no one asked and were not even on topic.

Given that his visitation apparently took the form of a divine carpeting while he was up to no good, it seems odd that he recommends the rest of us to be good as we can in order to have a chance of undergoing our own divine visitation.


We need to be careful about our use of bath salts. :razz:

Show me where I state that I don't believe there is a God?

I just don't believe you've seen him.

That is fine. You also happen to be wrong. Get used to it.

That is just more dissembling and misrepresentations.

Course we do, Tobin, course we do! And all the other deities we don't believe in will get us too. My particular worry is being pecked by Thoth for all eternity.

That beak has me really worried:

I wonder where I will get the first peck?

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.
