since noone has never made a claim of seeing God or meeting God that wasn't deem as being certifiable then isn't it logical that God is just a happenstance of fantasy or delusion, this fact can be further proved when a believer attempt to describe God

so can anyone describe God without the description sounding like that of delusion or the person making the description sounding irrational

if you can not describe God without sounding delusional and yet insist on worshipping something unseen and incomprehensible that you can't even describe ... sounds delusional to me


Although you say in the first paragraph that no one has ever SEEN god, you never ask for a physical description.

You say DESCRIBE god, maybe you should be more specific with what you are actually looking for.

And if you really didn't want the debate about my description of God/ess, you shouldn't have tried to debate me, as it would make the topic last longer. If you had ignored my post, this would have died a long time ago.

IMHO you just like to argue. As I saw when you tried to twist my words. I am an eloquent speaker, (not the best typer) I do not mince my words, I say what I mean and mean what I say. You should try it sometime, it's nice, you might like it.

No, I was not addressing you, Lily. Pull back, detach, and read it again.


Sorry, I was in defense mode. **takes deep breath**

No honey, remember I don't mince my words. I know who I am and where I stand...but here you go twisting words to get your way. Cute kinda like a 5 year old.

Lily does have a valid point. The OP did not specifically request a "physical" description as in looks.

Hmmm, people choosing how they wish to write/communicate in a forum in a way that expresses their thoughts. A thread with rules for posting. Rules changing depending on ??????? the whim of one.


If you are speaking of me, the topic is "Can you describe God without sounding delusional" What it does not say is "Describe what God looks like" those are 2 different things. Which I addressed in my first post, the debate came when I was told that my opinion was wrong.


here is the first lines of the posts that you may have glanced over

since noone has never made a claim of seeing God or meeting God that wasn't deem as being certifiable then isn't it logical that God is just a happenstance of fantasy or delusion, this fact can be further proved when a believer attempt to describe God




You assume that meeting God/ess would mean physically seeing them, I look outside the box, I have met many people online, I have never seen them. Does that make them figments of my imagination? Does it make me ddelusional? No it does not. It means that I have not physically seen them, I can tell you all about them, some I have known for years, I can tell you their likes, dislikes, their habits, but not what they physically look like.


I haven't met everyone you claim to know onthe internet so some of them may be a figment of your imagination ..you are trying to justify why you mis-interpeted the original question when all you have to say is that you mis-interpeted the original question ..you simply made a mistake ...it's no need to look outside the box that is why you keep coming up with only analogies and not descriptions of how God supposely look
