For talking to a high school student, you talk on even terms.
Are you a high school student?
About 45 years ago. I think you are now.
If God can't be detected he has no useful function.
More high school level thought.
That doesn't say anything.
What use is a God that can't be detected?
I have everything I need to "see" him.
What's your problem?

Eternal love and peace of mind.
What do you want from him - I guess that's the question, and why
should he give it to you? Haven't you already said you don't want
him, so why are you trying to detect him?

Another revelation from Duke! We don't need God. Belief is enough.

Well, even painter knows enough to tell you that nobody has seen God.
So a profession of belief, as in the Profession of Faith, is all we
can do.
Hey, that's your best trick. You stumble, and actually hit on the
truth. Good thing you don't actually try.

According to the Bible, no man may see God and live.
According to the Bible, some men have seen God and lived.

You have faith in men. You believe them when they tell you about a magical sky pixie,
but how would they know about God?
Hey, that's your best trick. You stumble, and actually hit on the

Just as the mythical Jesus was alleged to have used parables so that people would not
be helped, so I hold back that you will not learn.

That's a typical duck response.
He can't answer the question so he either says he did it already or comes up
with a "clever" response.
I'm becoming more and more convinced that he believes snipping actually
removes it from others views.
