It only prevents an absolute conclusion, which I'm hardly asserting.
There's no such things as Gods.
that sure sounds like an absolute conclusion.
Nonsense. If the color-blind wanted to honestly test if color-perception was actually possible, they might assemble a series of objects, and then, individually, ask color-sighted persons to identify the color.
they've no way to know they aren't making it up.
On the other hand, with 30,000 different sects of Christianity alone, it's abundantly obvious that everybody who claims to "experience God" experiences something completely different.

I've never said the second.

Is there anybody at all, besides Arach, at this board who you're not dripping with contempt for?
i'm not dripping with anything. in certain occasions, i get very irritated at specific individuals, much like you. and, i refuse to be squishy and nice to people who are assholes. but aside from those particular exchanges in question, i've no concern for any of it.
You'd never know it from your posts.
i happen to be a very disaffected and detached person, especially on the internet. what i am is blunt. what you see is grating and anti-social. i'm not scowling, i'm just not smiling. deal with it.
and i suppose this means this conversation is now over because of course we're no longer discussing your christian experience, but rather my personal "flaws". isn't that convenient.
