Only in the minds of the weak minded. Now you have moved your position from No to Not Likely.But God cant be one of them? lololThere are a lot of possibilities.
The evidence doesn't suggest its a likely possibility. At least in the very specific way you imagine.
That's your evidence, friend. It breaks down. It is inadequate as are your arguments.Like I said, quite a number of great minds have affirmed that they have proven God exists, so you are not asserting a fact of the public domain, dear.He must have been thinking about a wet dream he had recently.
Proven with what evidence?
See, its the evidence where your narrative always breaks.
That's right: you can't prove that God does not exist.
My faith is a fact to me. Whether you agree matters not to me.That's right: you can't prove that God does not exist.
And you can't prove he or she does either....we're stuck in a roundabout.
What I will say is that science has proven over the years many things that couldn't be explained, but now are - how birds fly, fish breath underwater, why a volcano erupts. I have yet to see any proof that shows that there is a god. Thing is, you don't have any proof either, just your faith. Which is fine. You're allowed faith. What you're not allowed to do is 1) tell me your faith is fact without any verifiable proof 2) Try and enact any legislation into the mainstream based on such fairy tales.

You and I have every constitutional right to enact legislation based on our moral and ethical and religious values.
Of course a legislature could pass such a law. In fact, I bet you have heard of Fathers and Mothers Days.
Parents Day? Well, guess what.
In the United States, Parents' Day is held on the fourth Sunday of every July. This was established in 1994 when President Bill Clintonsigned a Congressional Resolution into law (36 U.S.C. § 135) for "recognizing, uplifting, and supporting the role of parents in the rearing of children." The bill was introduced by Republican SenatorTrent Lott. It was supported by members of the Unification Churchwhich also celebrates a holiday called Parents' Day, although on a different date.[2][3] Parents' Day is celebrated throughout the United States.[4]

They pass non binding resolutions all the time. Where does it require that anyone honor their parents and is there any punishment for those who don't?
Congress passed a law, the president signed it. Look up 36 U.S.C. § 135.

There is nothing unconstitutional about passing such a law. There is nothing unconstitutional about passing a law that says one should not murder or commit adultery.Of course a legislature could pass such a law. In fact, I bet you have heard of Fathers and Mothers Days.

Here, let me quote me: "For example it is a religious value to Honor your Mother and Father, but it is not constitutional to pass a law requiring it of everyone." whereas this resolution requires nothing of the sort.

Religious value in and of itself cannot be kept out of legislative and policy making any more than can secular and moral ethics.
Thank you, and, imo, religious values are constitutionally never precluded from legislative and policy and administrative making.There is nothing unconstitutional about passing such a law.

If there were some criminal punishment for not honor mothers and fathers it would be. Murder is a crime of denying someone's right to life, not unconstitutional. Most western nations do not punish adultery as a criminal act. IMO such laws are unconstitutional.
Skylar, when you write "but theism is almost always mutually exclusive. It can't be Zeus AND Jesus" you fall in the Abrahamic dilemma, X and not Y, which does not mean that deity does not exist.
My faith is a fact to me. Whether you agree matters not to me.

Christians would say zeus never existed, but the bible says no god above him, not there are no other gods at all
If god is everywhere and in all people and thinks, why object to tree worship? Isn't god there as well?
What has never made sense is the idea of believing in the "son" but not the father directly.
Jews pray to the father, christens to the son. Isn't the father a more direct and powerful being? Why do they need to pray to the son at all? Jesus is just an avatar of the father that visited the mundane for a few years.
The mythology of Jesus has elements of a dozen or so beliefs. He is not an original. The people around him are historical figures. A man Jesus might have existed but to believe in him as a god and not the father is to me blasphemy. He came to teach of god not replace god or to start and new religion.
Praying to a man suffering on a cross is both obscene and idolatry. If god is a being of love, why pray to a dying figure? Pray to life and love and joy and caring for others. Pray to the sun and harvest and flowers and beauty and all the warm fuzzy feeling in the world that touch our hearts.
Pray to life, no to death.
If christian dogma is to be believed, jesus did not die, so why the dead body on the cross? Jesus was freed of his mortal shell, which should be a good thing, not a sad. Man kind should be free of sin, but christens want to make every act and thought a sin that will send us all to hell for eternaty. What happened to no sin and all being forgiven?
Look up the words 'faith' and 'fact' - they are diametrically opposites. You cannot have them working in tandem. Your faith is a 'fact' in the sense you believe. But it is not a 'fact' that your faith is a truism.
No you do not have the right to enact legislation based on your religious beliefs. If you do honestly believe in that, then if by some quirk of fate Sharia laws becomes enacted in the US, I can expect not a peep out of you. Keep religion OUT of politics. Keep it in your home and your church.

I have faith, that is a fact. I have faith that the sun will rise tomorrow and I consider to have the certainty of fact.
All laws are based on some form of values system, whether that values system is made up from thin air or some philosophy or is given by divine revelation via religion.
