You asked a question of me and I told you that I would answer to the best of my ability, and I did. And you scoffed

I did not. I followed up with another question.

Are you a believer?

I don't have to be. The world exists. Something caused it to be here. What that something is I don't know.

With such comments as “I don't know what God is” and the likes of, "I don't know my purpose in life", you seem to me to be lost.

Well, then why don't you tell me what God is and when you are done with that why don't you tell me how do you know that?

Then you can tell me what your purpose is and how do you know that. Much obliged.

You accuse me of “circular reasoning”, but you're the one running in circles like a chicken with it's head cut off spouting meaningless drivel. I am at peace. You seem to be in torment

There was no accusation. You are free to go back and see why it was circular reasoning. My questions are menaingless drivel but a priori assumptions are not?

What torment is there in acceptance?

“I don't know what God is.” God took upon Himself flesh and gave Himself a face, and that face is Christ.

How do you know that? Does it say so even in the Bible? I believe John says that the Word became flesh. He didn't 'cake' himself with flesh.

If you'll get alone with God and His Word and pray, He'll reveal Himself to you. He promises us as much.

Is that a fact or something you a priori assume to be true?

You replied: “I don't have to be. The world exists. Something caused it to be here. What that something is I don't know.

It only took you 21 words to say NO!

I said: “If you'll get alone with God and His Word and pray, He'll reveal Himself to you. He promises us as much.”

You said: “Is that a fact or something you a priori assume to be true?”

Don't trust me, or anyone else for that matter.

Try Him for yourself. He's true.
