WTF?

Pens are visible to the naked eye. Things like heat rays are not. Try observing a heat ray on your desk with the naked eye. It may be there but you don't see it with the naked eye. You may, however, feel heat in the area of your desk.
Some of us who have been born of the spirit of God and have experienced the effects of God know that God exists similarly as you may know that heat exists on your desk.
Perhaps you have yet to make an appropriate search for God.
Perhaps you should use a different analogy as many do not consider one sense, eyesight, superior to another, namely feeling heat or cold. However, it is obvious that a nematode worm would consider feeling superior to eyesight as the worm lacks not just eyes but indeed any concept of eyes.
So since you have seen god with your own eyes, as a self-proclaimed ubermensch, or at least the 'feeling' of your own eyes, as per this post I must ask, is he as Caucasian as you expected? Did he have wavy hair and blue eyes as our genetic purity post-Vikings would demand?

Re: Strawman Attempt
Buzsaw
Your silly strawman totally misses the point. I've never seen a heat wave with my naked eye. I've never seen God with my naked eye. I've observed the effects of both. Get it?
In accordance with your posts here as a supporter of the persecution of those who believe in other religions, particularly Islam, and indeed even bragging about forcing your religion on your own children by any means necessary at dreamcatcher, your observations mean nothing other than a stupid and arrogant abuse to most anyone, be they religious or not.
{ABE} Case in point. When RobinRohan died, you were the only person who smugly condemned him to hell while even Faith hoped he had somehow made a path to 'paradise.' So if I were you I would refrain from condemning anyone whose relationship with God does not fit in with your authoritarianism. {/ABE}
By your posts you apparently hold virtually everything Jesus ever said, particularly in The Sermon on the Mount in utter contempt.
Get it?
