(73 posts)26. "The basic concept of God is that it is unknowable"
Yup! You summed it all up there.
Just like my dreams.
I suppose, overall, I don't get the big deal about viciously countering atheism and viciously countering theism. If pressed, I would give the same answer the clown gives, I prefer belief, it makes sense to me at sits well with me. If pressed further about the causes of repression and oppression, I would give the same answers my old comrades gave: the atheist/theist argument is for the most part a petit bourgeois squabble that only divides and continues to allow the grand bourgeoisie to maintain.
Got it, too fearful to state a position that you stake your life on, but willing to make a stance that you liked when it came up on these internets a few years ago.
Got it. No personal position, because that would be too risky. Putting out there that you have some religious beliefs that are better than atheisits beliefs and deserve posting a few new threads every day on DU, just because you believe in a mythical god and can't discuss why, but have thousands of others around the world, and 2000 years of "evidence" in the Bible.
Yup! Kind of what I expected from such a prolific poster on the Religion forum. Lots of fun articles to read, no read position other than to make sure this religion forum is forbidden from discussing real logic.....so anti-religious to do that.
Let's remind the readers: the Topic of this thread:
Can you repeat it? Just post if you actually want this thread to go in that direction. Otherwise, we know you want to do something else here.

Good, then you should know we we were discussing the concept of rationality, not proof of God.

But do you specifically claim to hold the truth on the existence of a god or gods?

I've had a lot of strange conversations in my life, including odd conversations about epistemology.

What about revelations from God that had to be exterminated along with the people that "heard" them?

You said how you think we know things about God; my point is a different take on that.

I'd prefer not to be rude, so I'm merely going to characterize this article as "piffle" . . .
