Devout believer in a theologically different God
I am certain that a lot of people who are reading unsubstantiatied claims will be totally convinced by them. Because that is the way it works.But you aren´t the only one here who is reading,sir...so what may not have an effect on you, could have an effect on someone else..
But I appreciate what you have said, and I understand what you are saying...
There is only ONE GOD, and this response stemmed from the heading of this thread...
They see someone making a claim, be called out on the claim, repeating the claim without any backing, any explanation, any...thing... and they just think "Wow... this must be THE TRUTH." (/snark)
Well... that is exactly why I responded in kind. I make an unsubstantiated claim: "There is no god. No Christian God, no Islamic God, no Hebrew God, no Hindu, Buddhist(certain variants), Norse, Incan or any of the thousands of other religion's gods. None of them exist." For emphasis's sake, I will even add: "And this is the truth. The one truth, that is true."
This is an unsubstantiated claim. I don't expect anyone to be impressed or convinced by it. I really don't mean it. I have other, different, better way to explain my disbelief in Christianity or any other religion.
But someone this doesn't seem to interest anyone. As long as they can claim: "Well, I have the TRUTH... here is a quote from the Bible that says so."
See... this is why it is do difficult to engage with believers, with people like you. Because you are dogmatic, not reasonable.
Just because this forum allows Christians to act in this way, but prohibits anyone else doesn't make it better, or "true". It's just a form of self-affirmation.
