Re: But that is NOT what I said.

and I think that if we are to be honest, we must acknowledge that God could let us know she exists.

But which is more probable:
​
that God really does exists, is understandable, and makes herself known to you,
​
or
​
that you are wrong and your belief in God is something you've manufactured inside your own mind and is also a product of culture?

Re: Probability!? Really!?

How can you bring probability into the existance of god? let alone if he is understandable.....
​
Very easily.
​
I mean, we are talking about a comparison here.
​
It is far more likely that you have invented your belief, since we have extremely ample evidence that people do, in fact, easily and frequently invent their own beliefs.
​
We don't, on the other hand, have any evidence whatsoever for God.

I don't.

Nobody does.

Re: Probability!? Really!?
quote:
The two choices again are;
​
A. There is a God/s
​
B. There is no God/s
​
There is a third choice:
​
There is no way to know if there is a God/s.
​
(Remember, "knowing" and "believing" are different things.)
