betty boop and I do not deny God in anything. We see the Creation itself (spiritual and physical) as a revelation of God and that includes math, science and philosophy.

And that's the truth, NicknamedBob. So will you answer my dearest sister in Christ's question: "Do you deny God?" For if you do, what common ground do we have to stand on in order to engage in rational dialog on any issue?

If you find this remark perplexing, the fundamental insight is from the great mathematician and philosopher René Descartes: The idea of God is the most fundamental idea there is; and all other ideas, including the idea of the ego, or self, necessarily depend on this one primary idea (e.g., for their intelligibility and truthfulness).

So will you answer my dearest sister in Christ's question: "Do you deny God?"

You will have to satisfy your curious inquisition with the responses I have already given. I have stated that God and I are neighbors, that we take walks on the beach together.

You can do this too. Just find yourself a lonely beach and look around. If you don't feel the presence of God, simply fall to your knees and strike your fists upon the shore at your feet. This will surely get God's attention.

Go pound sand.

So very true.

Thank you for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
