Is God an atheist? |
I was just wondering what makes God so sure that He's the supreme being.
It looks like an act of faith: Not provable by God even if true.

It seems to me entirely reasonable to involve atheists in a discussion
about whether God is a member of the set of all atheists. BTW, I've
added that group back.
As most of the usual hacks within that forum
are incapable of rational dialog and are without excuse:
Sadly, I don't disagree with this, but the statement remains true even
without the "within that forum" caveat.

The Hacks aren't even able to answer the implication of the Decalogue as
perspective given by the moral law. They are dismissive of ethical behaviour
because they don't have to abide by a set of moral codes, and they feel free
to determine their own conscience based on their own desires as appetite:
4th (Avoiding Adultery) = 50J [Jubilee at Sinai] ... (Law @ Sinai)
5th (Don't Steal) = 72J+3(3²+1)/2 [as 2W1D] = 457BCE ... (2nd Temple)
6th (Don't bear false witness) = 72J+10(10²+1)/2 = 33CE ... (30CE =
Crucifixion, 33CE = Stephen martyred)
7th (Don't covet) = 122J3W1D (Saturday, 1 January, 2000+topical year/day
solar eclipse on 25 December, 2000 + 6 days) + 9(9²+1)/2 = #41 on 13-17
September, 2001
Alt.atheism removed as we've been through this before over the years.

Just take a look around you at the people who claim to believe that
their "God" is talking to them. Not only in the past, but the
present. They are considered crazy or insane these days, but
if their rantings are two-thousand years old or older, then everyone
should believe that the rantings are true? I don't think so.

A cow orker has recently *found* god. He told me that god has spoken to
him. He has been real annoying lately.

Report him to HR and get him fired for harrassment and bigotry. He doesn't
need a job. God will provide for him.

Ask him to ask his god to name the top card on a shuffled deck
of cards that you present to him.
Watch him scurry away into the darkness...

Sylvia,
It seems Sylivia has no belief in God as may be determined by response to
the question 'Which God are you referring to?' to which they responded 'Is
there more than one? That one will do.' ["Sylvia Else"]
They ought therefore not to have engaged in sport by including alt.atheism
within the discussion thread. As most of the usual hacks within that forum
are incapable of rational dialog and are without excuse:
4th = 50J [Jubilee at Sinai] ...
5th = 72J+3(3²+1)/2 [as 2W1D] = 457BCE ...
6th = 72J+10(10²+1)/2 = 33CE ...
7th = 122J3W1D (Saturday, 1 January, 2000+topical year/day solar eclipse on
25 December, 2000 + 6 days) + 9(9²+1)/2 = #41 on 13-17 September, 2001
"And many of those who sleep {ie. to be slack} in the dust {ie: pulverised
as in Chet, Resh, Shin the notion of Magician} of the earth shall awake.
Some to everlasting life, and some to everlasting contempt." [Daniel 12:2]
