I dont care for your beta review of my intent or inaction - but the case remains that you're unable to demonstrate a justification for your belief and that's now empirical.You're really good at passing the buck of responsibility off onto another because you're simply incapable of producing justification for your belief in the public square.Deflection. You dont know about my ability, or inability to decipher anything.Nope, I'm asking you to rationally justify YOUR professed belief in "whatever the fuck YOU think God means."
And to do so, you're deflecting to others. AS you just did, yet again.
Here's how I justify my non-belief, either way: No conclusive justification has been provided for, or against, any God.
The burden of proof, in a rational discussion, is on the interlocutor making the positive claim - in this case, that is you. You have not presented your case, you deflect into the meta and in this past post, deflected to what you "think" I'm looking for proof of.
All you have to do is ask. Here's what the specifics of the challenge are, to the one making positive claims: rationally justify YOUR professed belief in "whatever the fuck YOU think God means."
Or, deflect.
Why would I even try to rationally "justify" my beliefs about God which conform to and have been confirmed by reality decades ago to a person who doesn't even know what the fuck I mean and has demonstrated an inability to decipher complicated literary metaphors such as talking serpents aimed at teaching children realities about the world.
Thats why I told you, one step at a time. If you can't see talking serpents when they are trying to poison your mind how could you possible perceive evidence of the living God even if he smacked you upside the head and threw you into hell?
I don't have to justify my beliefs to anyone. Yes, I made an affirmative claim. Its up to you to do the things that brought me to an awareness and experience of the living God to see for yourself if its true or not.
If I make the claim that if you smoke a joint you will get high its up to you to see if its true or not. I can't prove it to you unless you try...
You just don't have the balls to take a hit, and thats the only thing being revealed. Something ugly lurking inside of you is exposing itself willy nilly
All you're doing is deflecting from answering a direct, and sincere question, before with the excuse "you wouldn't understand," now with the excuse "why would I," and "you wouldn't understand."
You do a lot of work deflecting, when you could simply meet the burden of proof in justifying your proclaimed belief in God.
My definition of God is irrelevant, you said you believe in "God," and the floor would be yours, at that point. Yet, you deflect.
I'll call it out each and every time, but the fact remains that you've been unable thus far to demonstrate a rational justification.
No it is not a deflection, its a matter of fact. Unless you do what is necessary to prepare your mind to perceive the living God you won't perceive the living God no matter what I might say about my own experiences.
Which brings us back to the points from which you deflected.
If you do not understand what it written, what the fantastical stories are actually teaching, and see how it applies to actual reality, reality that even you have experienced first hand, you cannot possible perceive any evidence presented of that which cannot be see with the eyes.
If you don't understand what was written you don't won't know what the stories are actually about, neither will you see any proof of their truth even if it was put right in front of you..
If you don't see any evidence of talking serpents exactly as described in great detail in the fairy tale even when they are right in front of you, how are you going to see what lies within?
Thats why I say, one step at a time. If you learn what the stories are actually teaching you will find evidence of the truth conveyed all around you, everywhere you look. If you don't understand what the stories are actually teaching you will look and look and look and wherever you look you will always find nothing.
My case of your deflections has been proven, you don't have a justification that you can lay out and you certainly haven't begun to do so. That's fine - I'm just going to consider it unjustified until you do, if you don't mind.
Passing the buck of responsibility? thats hilarious.
You are the one supposedly seeking evidence of a God, not me.....
If you won't apply your mind to understand and conform to the codified instructions about how one goes about finding God what do you expect me to do for you aside from what I have already done in pointing you in the right direction, making clear the way to follow that leads to the fulfillment of that search?
Trying to find fault in me for failing to do what only you can do for yourself doesn't conceal your cowardice.
And as it is written. "No one whose balls have been crushed can become a member of the assembly of the Lord."
cry about it all you like, ITS THE LAW.
"youre not ready to listen" is not an excuse, it's a deflection.
You can do the hurr dee durr all day long about what you think that I do and don't understand and still.....at the end of all of that time wasted, you'll have demonstrated an inability to independently justify your belief.
Fine by me, you dont have to. But, neither then do the other folks who believe what you call "fairy tale" in the literal sense. You're allowing them the excuse, "you just couldn't understand so I don't need to tell you" .....to pass as their justification - you set that standard. Good on ya.
