. Why do atheists insist so much we use the christian notion,
Well... at least atheists have some notation in mind when they use the
word
. It may not exist but at least "an immortal person with
supernatural power who wants and deserves to be worshiped" means
something.
Theists, at least most of those on this list, quite literally
don't know what they're talking about when they talk about "God".
As near as I can tell to them the word "God" means an
invisible fuzzy amoral blob that does nothing and knows nothing and
thinks about nothing
that we can not effect and that does not effect our lives. Why
even invent a word for a concept as useless as that?
I have found that God is exactly the same as my subconscious. And my
subconscious is connected to other peoples subconsciouses.
When I pray, I talk to my own subconscious. Then my subconscious
talks to other peoples subconsciouses. Then one persons subconscious
is affecting this persons behavior, so that I get answer to my prayer.
Psychiatrist: "Look--how do you know you're God?"
Lord Gurney: "Well, every time I pray, I find that I'm talking to myself."
