How could you tell?

[Non sequitur]

I liked your question because the answer is: I don't know. My question is: you got a better deal? Cause the God of the Bible is giving away full pardons for free. I gotta say tho that I do not believe God is sending in audibles to anyone and if some says "god told me this" be very cautious they're makin it up.

Your follow-up type question doesn't go in line with your response.

If you don't know, then it would follow that you don't know if the "giving away full pardons" is true.

Which leaves you, I guess, with Pascal's Wager...

I don't have a "point". I have a question.

Kind of like "x+3=5, what is x?" My question gives me an answer. The answer would tell me, how can you solve for x.

So, I guess, the point would be, how one could tell/discern if a deity was telling the truth?

And if I say they cant then what would you say?

I can't help you.

But I've heard you'll go to a better place...

I dunno.

Um... that makes sense and they should think about that?

What would you say?

It's too bad you can't throw in an expletive with that rim shot. It would make it more delicious

"Hope dope".

lol.

 

[Non sequitur]

I would say....

Wow.....

Since they couldn't tell if a deity was telling the truth or not, I would say "Wow", as well

 

[Non sequitur]

"Hope dope".

lol.

How could you tell?

How could you tell if you're not really a brain in a vat being stimulated to think you are posting in this forum?

Put me down as "can't tell".

Irrelevant. As long as the experience is consistent and reliable, I can continue treating it as real. Solipsism fails.

On this.....

We agree..

Since this would fall outside the realm of something I could detect (assuming that's the hypothetical situation you are creating), I couldn't.

So... how could you tell if a deity was telling the truth?

Thanks.

Does it worry/bother/concern you that you cannot tell?

I have not seen a person who can not tell over time. One way or another, everyone can tell eventually.

It would take some efforts and may be years of experiment. If you are serious about it.

If you are not serious, then you can not.

You seem to be replying to conversations in other members posts...

But, how could you tell?
