Absurd to the Extreme
Jar:
​
We cannot know whether or not GOD exists.
​
Scottness aka Rob:
​
Only an omniscient being can make such a claim.
​
History provides us with several examples of people who have claimed to be god, as opposed to knowing such pretenders cannot prove they are God. Would you like a small sample of a list of such individuals?

I didn't say anything about people claiming to be God in my point. That is much different than claiming to know God.
​
That is my point, usually it is a linear progression. First they speak to god, then know god, then speak for god, then are god, then are in god's hands at the looney bin.
​
ABE - How far should one go before reflecting upon their unquestioned position?

Edited by anglagard, : a simple question

Well, I don't believe I will ever be a god until I have shed this body and am ressurected anew. Maybe you should ask a pantheist these questions.
​
If resurrected you displace god rather than become part of God?
​
As to ask the panthiest, maybe you should wait until your thread is promoted before derailing this one.
