In other words...the immanent sense of existing.
From whence did thou comest?

You suddenly don't know what the word "imagined" means or are you just trying to be evasive and not answer a simple question honestly?

Are you aware of the fact that you only imagine god?

Who are Christians to judge that the Bible writers' judgment that God is good is correct?

I'll speak for myself when I say that it is an inner conviction, and you have no evidence solid enough to convince me otherwise. Or do you?

Using your inner convictions in debates is about as useful as tits on a wild boar. Any person with any worldview can make the same argument, including any deist.

I understand feeling to be the combination of my understanding and experiences. If you mean emotions, I do not trust them.

What do you mean? Do you have any evidence to post regarding anything or not? If not, why bother to make any posts at all?
