But for some reason, some folks think I'm a "fence sitter." Oh, the travesty! Oh, the irony!
Most people who mix the Bible and philosophy together, end up becoming a victim of what is called: "psychoheresy."

Be careful.

Are you familiar with the works of Martin and Diedre Bobgan?

Nope. Never.

Have you heard of any of the authors that I've supplied on my CF "about" page?

That's it!
I guess batting 1 out of 20 isn't too bad.

But that's ok. There's 980 more where those came from. Maybe you'd find 'more' names in those.

Oh good grief. The Baltimore Catechism is written and published by the RCC in the US. It is not some "branch" of the Catholic Church, it *is* the Catholic Church. As far as the RCC and the Trinity -- THEY INVENTED THE THING!

But, none of that is relevant, since my original statement was (paraphrased) "I didn't detect/experience God." It didn't matter which part of god it was or if I held to a Unitarian or Trinitarian view of god, I didn't experience it. (If there is a god and it is roughly described by Christian doctrine, it does not matter for the purposes of this conversation who is right about the nature of said god, particularly if *some* people do genuinely interact with it and other do not.)

The LORD will absolutely Respond if you acknowledge HIS will over you and your life,
I did that for years. Nothing happened.

And don't bother posting "You didn't do it right."

If you fasted and chanted alone on some
remote hilltop ala Native Americans
and waited  long enough you most certainly
would have some experience.

Which transcendent experience is with the
one true God, who knows.

Christians unsurprisingly say, theirs.

I wonder how many are aware of other
Answers come from utterly different
expectations.

I don't know what that little thing you embedded in my post was, but I couldn't respond to it other than to tag it with an emoji, and they don't have an emoji for "irrelevant", so I didn't.

I'm not here to justify my religious life in the 20th century to you or anyone. Please limit your replies to substantive or ontopic content.

"How to prove that GOD exists from a scientific point of view?"​


However since such scientific proof doesn't exist it can't be backed or disclaimed because there's no scientific proof to do either.
With that being said, Why does the thread still get replies?
Good Sir,
Hypocrisy is an ugly color.

Well there you go. I guess this thread should be shut down then. (Or it could have ended with post #2)

Good Sir,
Hypocrisy is an ugly color.

It's mostly an undying chain of replies to topical drift that does occasionally approach the titular question.

As for me I dipped in on the notion of whether god had been detected (in that particular case by anecdote) and (as I recall) there were implications that those who didn't sense/detect/experience god were somehow not quite Christians. (And given that I don't personally know any Christians that have relayed such experiences, that was kind of odd.)

Only from non-believers.
Why would God do that?
Well you indicated you hadn't actually read, and absorbed (properly understood) my example of prayer
Do you deny that your example follows the pattern I described - a prayer unanswered, followed by a reason or excuse?

Interesting - when I try it, i.e. click on a post from the main page, it always takes me to the post in its sub-forum ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Again, in my case, I did what was expected of me .. I didn't know what a belief was.
I think I deliberately avoided being asked that question.
Yes, that was my experience. I was told 'Jesus is God' and took it as something I was supposed to accept, but I'm not sure what I would have said if asked whether I believed that Jesus is God...
