"you'd have some definable set of circumstances to conclude there is indeed nothing else in the mind of G-d"

It should be obvious that nobody knows the mind of God. If they do, it isn't provable. If it is provable, nobody's proved it. If they've proved it, where's the proof? So what you are left with is a lot of very big fans of very dead authors who take everything they say on faith, and exclude the possibility that God, if She exists, may hold contrary opinions to many assertions in the bible. Perhaps She's working through me right now, bringing you the truth, and trusting that even with Free Will you'll make the right decision and abandon the idea that who people are attracted to matters at all.

You say all that as if it's rhetorical. It's not, but suffice to say comprehensive treatment is beyond the scope of a news forum, and it also ignores the peculiar facet called faith.

The system has been deliberately constructed in such a way that those who prefer will have reason to deny the validity of the proofs. They won't be good reasons, but they're only required to provide the user plausible deniability in their own mind anyway.

That being said, She wouldn't have much claim on us if She didn't make her mind known now would She? But if she DID make Her mind known, and you choose to ignore it... I guess that would make you, you.

The Bible says in order to please G-d, you must believe that He is, and that He rewards those that diligently seek Him. You should think about the philosophical implications of that statement with respect toward your observable universe.

Well, I can surely see we are of different faiths. There is no reason for a Christian to argue with someone who worships the earthmother, a head of lettuce or prays to crystals for divine inspiration.

I know you are not of Judaic faith and I know you are now Trolling to get a response.

Those of Judaic faith are just that, of faith. No, you cannot prove much of what is said, it is a matter of faith. Faith is just that. Faith is not questioning everything in the Bible, but accepting it. Faith is not questioning that God created Adam in His own image. No matter how much you would like to believe God was a she, you don't even have shaky evidence to support the notion, whereas the Bible states several times, that God is He.

Of course the new American version that is being sold in Rolling Stone magazine, has revised the bible to be more politically correct from what I understand, but this is not the Bible that most of us refer to.

So here I am arguing with someone from an alternative religious cult who is a troll. I feel like I'm in DU.

God, if She exists,

This parenthesis should tell everyone everything they need to know about this poster.
