What? Calls for substantiation from the selfsame Tobin, who claims to have seen god, but provides no substantiation or background of said event?

Anyone else sense the irony?

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

You are welcome to seek and speak with God anytime you want SteelHead. Or is your disbelief in God too much for you to overcome?

I talk to Exu all the time Tobin. We have had this discussion before. I walk with him daily. I can describe him to you. I have seen him manifest.

You are the one making unsubstantiated claims about seeing Elohim/Jehova/Jesus. Not me. Man up to the bar.

And what valuable insight has Exu shared with you? Can we all speak with Exu as you do? Or is Exu a one-man show? Has anyone besides you seen Exu recently or EVER? If you find your pseudo-belief in Exu a fun excuse to blind yourself to the reality of God, then so be it. I find it a meaningless faux position to take and as I've said to you, ultimately we will both die and you will know what I said was true.

Tobin,
Candomble has over 2 million adherents. Talk to a candomblista about the manifestations of their deities. It is very real. Even the non believing can see it.

You ought to do a little thing called a google search before you start spouting off.

So, I guess that is a 'no'? That is what I thought.

That is a yes. Very yes.

We perform the cleansing rituals.
Prepare the sacrifices and the feast.
The Orixas incorporate in the iyawo.

That is but one way they manifest themselves.

But again man up and substantiate your own claims.

I like having an occasional chicken salad. Will that work instead?

All bluster. No substance.

Why should anyone substantiate anything to you, when you will not do the same?

Because I have no need to do so. I have simply pointed out you can choose to seek God and speak with him or you can choose not to. I don't care whether you do or do not because in the end, you will meet God. It is inevitable. You can claim to believe in Exu or whatever false idols you wish. It doesn't matter in the end. God is a reality you can not avoid.
