"You don't test God, God tests YOU..."
Why Bob....you may be right. He sent guys like you to tease me... *big grin*
"But seriously, using logic to test the validity of God can never work. "
But also seriously: I am not trying to "test the validity of God"... I am using my logic to explain why supposed proofs OF God are lacking....and often circular. I am making NO claims about the ultimate nature of reality and creation: others are. I am merely nodding and saying that I am not convinced.
"I think, after some consideration, you might cry out, "Help me!"
No, Bob...I have long passed the point where I even worry about it. I try to lead a good life....I don't cheat, beat my wife or run red lights. IF there is a judgment day, I will have to just shrug and say to the 'judge':
"If you wanted everyone to totally accept the 'rules' and spirituality, you could have made it all MUCH clearer, as I am told you have the power. You made us weak & fallible, and able to doubt, and allowed hundreds of versions of The Truth to propagate, and I was unable to resolve the contradictions. So, do as you will...I don't think I'd want to live in a Heaven run that way."
I also wish YOU well and a happy, long life, Bob. You are obviously a thoughtful, caring person. We can occupy the same earthly reality on reasonably friendly terms ☺ ....and the afterlife? We shall see...or maybe there's nothing TO see.
There's SO much to learn about what we CAN see & test and measure and be awed at.... I have no longer a need to speculate about various metaphysical possibilities.
