No. Again, the miracles are brought about by faith.
I asked you do you believe this God of yours answers your prayers or the Christian God answers other Christians prayers in the present. From your answer above, I take it that you dont believe the Christian God answers your prayers or any other Christians prayers. What other Christian beliefs
dont you hold? Do you believe the Christian God created all things? Do you believe the Christian God fathered a son? Do you believe miracles still happen today as they did in the past? Do you believe angels and demons are active in the world today? Im guessing from your comments below that you dont believe these things, but could you please confirm it one way or the other.
I apologize about the condensation but it isn't misplaced. You have the same understanding of God you would find in a child of seven years at Sunday school. I'm not sure of your actual age but you haven't updated your understanding of the word God since childhood.
Your condescension is misplaced because it is directed at me, but what I gave you isnt
my understanding of God. As I just showed you, the understanding of God that you describe as being that of a seven-year-old is not my understanding, but the understanding of the vast majority of Christians in the U.S. today and many who contribute to these forums.
My understanding of the Christian God is that it is imaginary and that goes for the Muslim, Hindu, Greek, Roman, Norse, Egyptian, Aztec and all other gods as well. I understand gods to be imaginary entities that insecure and credulous people use for emotional comfort. Gods comes in many shapes and forms from the vague, distant impersonal force of the deists to the petty, vindictive and all-to-human personal gods of Christianity and Islam. However, the one thing they all have in common is that there isnt a single shred of sound evidence or a single sound argument to prove that any one of them is real.
Link didn't work for me but what the majority thinks about God is irrelevant. 95 percent haven't read the Bible. 99 percent haven't read any of the Church Fathers. And 99.9 percent haven't read enough Plato to have an understanding of the philosophy of the time. (just a guess, not formal survey.) If you want to argue against God then it needs to be against the most informed and rational understanding. Not the common superstitions found amongst the uneducated because then you aren't actually arguing against God, just those particular understandings of God.

However, what the majority thinks about God is not irrelevant at all. What the majority thinks about God influences their decisions and affects their behaviour. They think their church should have a say in the government. They think homosexuality should be discouraged so they oppose gay rights. They reject the theory of evolution and some try to have creationism taught in public school science classes. In other countries, what people think about their God motivates them to attack and kill people for making drawings or anything else they consider blasphemous and for the purely religious crime of apostasy.
By the way, I dont need to argue against your God or any other god. What you need to do is prove that it is real.
Did you ever find someone responding to the ideology presented in those Heisenberg quotes that you agree with?
I dont think Ive ever found someone responding to the ideology presented in those Heisenberg quotes. Explain how that would prove the Christian God is real.
