(8,170 posts)I said that your first statement of your beliefs was agnostic in nature by declaring the thing that might be deity to be unknowable.
You next assert that statements about god either describe a mythology or describe natural forces, I just pointed out that mythologies are not historic and natural laws and forces are not deities either.
Next you use an argument familiar to atheists that the term God is just a descriptive of unknown causes. You qualified this by assigning "natural power" to God which I countered with a talk that demonstrates there can be no such power. To put it another way a god of the gaps cannot influence the universe without putting out some energy and that energy is not there - there is no room for it and no way of generating it.
Now you qualify your belief further by stating that you feel the presence of "God" in your life but this leaves the question why does god only make itself apparent to so few people?
