Default Understanding God And His Role

Many People Say God Doesn't Exist Because They Don't Understand His Role And Simply That He Is A Spirit. You Won't See A Spirit Through A Telescope Nor Will You Physically Touch And Feel Them When TheY ARE Beside You.

To Understand God Is To Read The Bible. Since, The Bible Is The Foundation Of All Knowledge, It Means We Are Suppose To Build On That Knowledge. For A Clue, It Says, "you Can Learn The Truth From The Things In The World". God Is Understood And Seen By The Third Eye Through The Strongest Scientific Means, "observation Of A Consistent Pattern Of Behavior". You May Not Detect Him Physically.

The Idea Is For You To Choose The Principles Of God Over The Principles Of Satan. If God Appears To The Population, You Would Choose God; Because, He Is The Strongest And In Control Of Everything. For Both To Stay Hidden, It Makes It Fair For Satan To Prove His Points. If Satan Appears To The Population, It Will Reveal The Existence Of A Spirit Being And We Will Most Likely Believe In God.

My Book, Which The Government Is Restricting Me From Writing Has A Lot Of Information Concerning God And The Principles Of Both God And Satan. This Book, Which Was Written Intuitively, Will Expose Those Who Represent Love, Harmony And Truth And Those Who Don't.

Many, Through Understanding, Will Switch Sides. It Is A Journal That Breaks The World And Information Down Into Its Smallest Pieces And Assembles Them Into Facts, Principles And Cycles. To Deny One Part Of The Book Would Mean To Deny Very Obvious Information In Other Parts Of The Book. Everything In This World Is Connected To The Point Where Everyone And Everything Including God Makes Waves In This Ocean Of Characteristics.

But, I Am Under Financial Control By The Government In An Attempt To Prevent Me From Publishing My Book; Because, It Exposes Their Ways. The Book Is Called, "the Way The World Works".

Not All Authoritative People Are Immoral, But Many Represent A Crime Against Humanity And That Includes A CRIME AGAINST You.

Glad to see the anti-allcaps mechanism working.

Is that a ridiculously long book title or do you just have a thing for capitalisation?

He posted the whole thing with caps-lock on. IIDB employs a vBulletin extension that turns posts in all-caps to what you currently see.

I’m not sure I was right, though. (I mean, how did a portion of all-caps text miss the programmed handling?) Wow, must have been a bit of labour to post all this in titlecase.

Note: Not Every Word In Every Sentence Should Be Capitalized. It makes what you write difficult to read.

Many people say God doesn't exist because the concept is inherently contradictory. We realize that you won't feel a spirit or see it through a telescope no matter how hard you try. However, what we say is twofold:

1. To propose that an unseen spirit exists is speculation that you have no justifiable reason for making.

2. The descriptions given of this spirit are either internally contradictory or are contradicted by the world around us.

Quote:
To Understand God Is To Read The Bible.
Since many people read the Bible sincerely and come to mutually exclusive understandings of God, this is clearly an inherently flawed method.

Quote:
Since, The Bible Is The Foundation Of All Knowledge, It Means We Are Suppose To Build On That Knowledge.
This claim overrates the Bible heavily. How can knowledge be built upon some millennia-old books? Which of the many mutually exclusive ideas in the Bible are we to use as the foundation for our knowledge.

Quote:
For A Clue, It Says, "you Can Learn The Truth From The Things In The World".
Chapter and verse, please, and reconcile it with the many passages that denigrate knowledge and wisdom in principle.

Quote:
God Is Understood And Seen By The Third Eye Through The Strongest Scientific Means, "observation Of A Consistent Pattern Of Behavior".
Baseless assertion of the "strongest scientific means," baseless assertion that the observation is actually made, and baseless assertion that it leads to a theistic idea.

Quote:

Already covered.

Quote:
The Idea Is For You To Choose The Principles Of God Over The Principles Of Satan.
False dichotomy. Also, how can you tell which are the "Principles of God" and which are the "Principles of Satan" without just assuming that you have the former and everything else is the latter? There are competing revelations; do you have a way of consistently telling which is true and which is false?

Quote:
If God Appears To The Population, You Would Choose God; Because, He Is The Strongest And In Control Of Everything.
Not necessarily. In the Genesis story, Adam and Eve see God but do not choose God. The Bible contradicts this at the very start.

Quote:
For Both To Stay Hidden, It Makes It Fair For Satan To Prove His Points.
Why should Satan be given this chance?

Quote:
If Satan Appears To The Population, It Will Reveal The Existence Of A Spirit Being And We Will Most Likely Believe In God.
Why would it lead inevitably to belief in the Trinity and not in, say, Allah or Ahura Mazda? It seems you've assumed a false dichotomy and propagated it without respect for competing ideas of God.

Quote:
My Book, Which The Government Is Restricting Me From Writing Has A Lot Of Information Concerning God And The Principles Of Both God And Satan.
The US government is blatantly pro-Christian. Now you're sounding like a conspiracy kook. Also, where do you get your information?

Quote:
This Book, Which Was Written Intuitively, Will Expose Those Who Represent Love, Harmony And Truth And Those Who Don't.
That sounds like a big claim. How does one write a book "intuitively"? How does one verify such a book? How do we know you're not sent by Satan to mislead us from the true God, Ahura Mazda (or whoever you like)?

Quote:
Many, Through Understanding, Will Switch Sides.
Big claim of the sort that is very rarely verified in any meaningful way.

Quote:
It Is A Journal That Breaks The World And Information Down Into Its Smallest Pieces And Assembles Them Into Facts, Principles And Cycles. To Deny One Part Of The Book Would Mean To Deny Very Obvious Information In Other Parts Of The Book.
So basically, your book is so interconnected that everything verifies everything else? That sounds sort of like poppycock to me.

Quote:

Quoi?

Quote:

All sorts of books get published that "expose" peoples' "ways." From what you've presented here, I'm not sure it would be significant enough to cause anybody much fright.

...right...nice assertion.

With all my armchair speculation I completely ignored that juicy post!

The Bible? The book that says the sun and moon are lamps? And that the cosmos was magically poofed into existence 6,000 years ago, Harry-Potter style? Yeah, right.

Satan is yours, my Christian friend. You can keep him. And be happy with your Zoroastrian dualism—the very thing that was behind the 9/11 attacks.

Why not post your book on a website? Wouldn't that expose the very people who are preventing you from being published?

I guess the real question is which is more important, Getting Out The Truth or Getting Payed?
