For it to be personal, for other people to be 'enlightened', you would have to impart your knowledge to them. For you to have reached your view of who God is, someone would have had to impart their knowledge to you or else you would have made up your own God. Is it personal or should you prevent someone from making up their own God?

No, for most people, it just feels personal, sure go out and spread the word and convert Christians into Jews, but still, like, why ask what you believe in? If one were to make up his/her own God, if it's something that motivates them, okay sure, go ahead and do that.

That would be an assumption. It would be a pretty accurate one if you were in say, Syria, but I think internet forums allow this kind of thing to happen without much repercussion.

Those groups tend to be random: That's not God's organization, that's humanity's obsessive need to classify things.


I beg your pardon? They might be distributed apparantly random, but that is no more than apparant. Actually, all randomness is only apparantly random.

Also, I do not see how perceived chaos would argue against some sort of organisation. It could be all on a different level. Something needs not to be ostensibly rectangular to be created.

"Organization" is really just an idea. The reason that "patterns" exist is because of changes in the world that the objects themselves are changed by.

Ignoring that I don't believe in it...

Why do all scientific things involving the beginning of the world end with "theory"? Because although it is accepted by scientists, it isn't 100% accurate :wee:

Also, it would be awesome if the plural form of scientist was scienti.

Section for the dick suckers moderators to make them feel special talk about important issues on the forums. It's just a forum that is named "moderator section"

It ends with "theory" because although we can talk about it in a manner that seems plausible, we can't actually recreate it, and no-one was around to see it happen.

I never would've guessed that the brainwashed idiot would get basic scientific vocabulary mixed up

People would still complain if we tried. Like "you are messing with things we are not meant to know" or the "you'll doom us all" kind of complaints instead of "its just theory ergo BS".

Hence, my 'I believe in', not 'is fact'.
