I know this fit your preferred narrative, but it isn’t true. I’ve been around the block a few times or more. Believe me, I’ve tried to explain away God many times throughout my life experience/journey. But to be honest, I can’t. I’ve mentioned to other atheists on this board that I’m sympathetic to...

Beyond the point in which we die. Who has said that deep purpose and meaning cannot be found in the here and now? I think we can agree that if there is purpose and meaning after death that even now we are a part of that continuum. Possibly even an integral part. Regards, MG You described the "beyon...

If there is no God, there is nothing to “explain away” or “poke holes” in.

Well, I’d have to agree with you there.

Hey, Oh thou great and smart one, you may enjoy enjoy this series of programs. I’ve been through a bunch of them. Even for an ignoramus like me I find them quite interesting. https://www.closertotruth.com/tv-episodes I know I’ve mentioned them before...but nonetheless...someone might be unaware of ...

God fits in pretty well with purpose and meaning beyond the here and now. 🙂 Regards, MG What do you mean by meaning beyond the here and now?

Wrestling with evidence to try and figure out what's going on, even when you don't like where that leads you, that's what's hard.

Came right out of his shoes trying to reach that wicked curve. That's three strikes. The "offended" gambit is a tired and worn cliché. It's a red herring. A two-fer, because we also got the 'I'm an 'old man, feel for me cause my memory's slipping' schtick. I’m not making excuses or trying to cover ...

So, yes, my door is shut on your made up, trivial flavor of God.

Man, I sure don’t look on ‘my flavor’ of God as being trivial. The creator of the heavens and the earth and all things within them which are. The source from which we sprang.

That’s BIG.
