Psalm 14 King James Version (KJV) 14 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. [/quote] Maybe you didn't read the whole thing, but I was very specific: no bible quotes, it is pointless for the exercise. [/quote] Maybe you didn't read where I rebuked you specifically with scripture for saying that. [/quote] Your mistake! I've read the bible cover to cover, many times. I know for sure did it 4 times. And as expected, you are one more unable to think abstractly. Noticing it is very, very common among christians. [/quote] Matthew 12:37 King James Version (KJV) 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Hebrews 10:31 King James Version (KJV) 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. REPENT! [/quote] You're not willing to do the exercise, this is the last post with bible quotes in this thread. If you don't want to or are unable to, just don't say anything. [/quote] Maybe you could do the exercise yourself, op. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on what I asked you about your previous response, but it may have been lost in the shuffle. https://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message3861188/pg1#69507867 [/quote]

Its a thought exercise, an abstraction exercise. If you can, imagine that all you know about your specific religion is a lie. Like all the religions along history that arise, faded and die, think that your religion is also a lie. What would you do?
- If you can't do it and go with the path "It can't be" or "I just can't cope with such an idea", don't bother posting.
- Don't quote the bible, its pointless for the exercise, if you can't do it, you fall under the category above, of people incapable of abstract thinking
