It's nice to agree on something.

It is easy to prove to yourself that God is imaginary. The evidence is all around you. Here are 50 simple proofs:

The evidence is all around and IN you. We are triune beings meaning we see ourselves in and from 3 different aspects. This is how we're able to talk to ourselves, god, or anyone else. When you talk to "god" it is exactly the same as talking to yourself except for the positions being played within this trinity. "God" is but one aspect of our own trinity, we are all God and gods but we are also so much more.

It is all imagined, that's what creation is and we are master craftsmen.

Many people carry their god around in their wallets, worshipping hm through the endless pursuit of things and materials and earthly delight. This god is called Mannon. He is absolutely palpable and quite provable.

You either worship the God of Scripture in all His transcendant glory, or you worship the golden calf of materialism. But be warned, all that glitters is not gold ...

It's obvious the God of scripture is arbitrary, violent and vengeful. Of course, if that's what you admire...

That's not so obvious.. to me.

You are not God. You are just quoting scripture for your purposes ...

Did I claim to be God? When was that? When he knocked off all those people in the flood in Noah's time and killed all those people except Lot I assume that was a rather peaceful act. Anyway, it was a lot more peaceful afterward.

Just for the sake of argument..:-)

Notice how Jesus quoted from the Psalms.. when challenged..

----

"Once more the Jews lifted up stones to stone him.

Jesus replied to them: "I displayed to you many fine works from the Father. For which of those works are you stoning me?"

The Jews answered him: "We are stoning you, not for a fine work, but for blasphemy, even because you, although being a man, make yourself a god."

Jesus answered them : "Is it not written in your Law, `I said: "You are gods"'? If he called `gods' those against whom the word of God came, and yet the Scripture cannot be nullified, do you say to me whom the Father sanctified and despatched into the world, `You blaspheme,' because I said, I am God's Son?"

John 10:31

I notice you're from the Netherlands. I'm Dutch as well. It's a shame we can't discuss this properly, face-to-face, like men. Such is not a discussion for Internet forums.

I've been discussing such things for many years on the net.

No complaints yet.

Lewis Carroll

Why not discuss it in forums though.. I'm wondering.. ?
