No. crashforg is showing me bullshit. He is noteven on the same page with the topic at hand. If you would like to join him, please do. But I am taking this thread where it wanted to go originally.
In circles? Even though it is
about circular reasoning, we should try to move forward, not get stuck in the same misunderstandings.
As if there's a dearth of words in this thread, is this more BS?
No, I'm attempting to show you how useless your non-demonstrations of God's authority are. They are as useless as crashfrog's.

But none of this has been demonstrated.
False
"False" is not a demonstration, it is an assertion. You are only proving that it has still not been demonstrated.

God does prove His character.
Great. Where? How?
People are not mad to carry the legacy of one man throughout ages, believe in Him, live and die for Him, and preach about Him, if He did nothing but only talk about Himself.
This does not prove God's character. Nor is it any sort of demonstration of God's authority.
These people may not be mad, no one has claimed that they were. They're just wrong. People are wrong about things like this all the time. In fact, even if your chosen theology is correct, the
majority of the world would have to wrong in exactly this way because they accept a different religious authority. Therefore, using this as a demonstration of God's authority is actually a logical contradiction as it is used by
a majority of others for a variety of mutually exclusive ideas.
If you would like to blunt face reject this, please do. I don't care.
Oh no, not blunt face rejected. Only reasonably rejected as it is in a strict logical contradiction with all other religions, as described above.
Do you have any actual demonstration for why anyone should accept God's authority? Or is everything else you have to offer as useless as crashfrog's claims?
