Well consol, I do not have to admit any such thing. I don't doubt that you don't agree, but you have no proof that God is only in my mind. IN fact, if God were only in my mind, why would He also be in other minds as well? |

Unfortunately, creationists with something that comes even close to a coherent argument are.

He's not, they all have their own Gods,
do you think you are the only one who can imagine a God?
every one imagines a totally different God, he is whatever they need him to be,
so they imagine whatever they want,
after all, there are no pictures of a God, only the images painted by artists that
were created in the artists minds, and statues, all coming from peoples minds.
Their Gods have only got to last their life times then their God dies with them, how else can it work?
do you honestly think every Christian or Muslim or every religious person imagines the same God?
please tell me how you think that is possible.
For each person there is a different God, and in each case, their own personal imagined God. |

Are you saying that there are some of us creationists that come close to one?  |

What do you attribute to causing this personal imagined God? |

Upbringing or personal need, I have no use for a God, so I don't imagine one, you have so you do. |

Oddly enough, I was just wondering earlier today how you were. What with all the changes here of late, I wasn't sure if you were still around at all.

So what of those who for most of their lives have not believed in God and then find Him? |

Thanks.  Oddly enough, I was just wondering earlier today how you were. What with all the changes here of late, I wasn't sure if you were still around at all.
Isn't that funny how often that happens? |

Indeed. We've all already tried to explain to him once before that he won't win any popularity votes with this attitude but rather then learning his lesson, he merely stormed out claiming us to be immature "Kids" only to return right after under a new name.
Must we again explain to him that we don't welcome his Trolling?
