Wade....

Except I actually gave some pretty solid justification to show that my absurdities
were genuine absurdities on the metaphysical level.
For instance, if Tristram Shandy were infinitely far behind, the present could
never be reached (as I demonstrated mathematically). This is a metaphysical
absurdity and could not possibly happen.

This is a tipcal mind game of the religious. Math is a human consept, adding one more number
to a sequence of counting has totaly nothing to do with the existance of a god of any kind.
To label such a sequence as past or future is totaly meaningless in the real world.

What does mind games of math (adding one more number) have to do with showing what exist? NONE.
Perhaps you would like to measure the unicorns horn? Or count
the number of hairs on its tail? Because you deturmine that counting has no end
as a fuction of a human mind as long as it lives there for the unicorn exist?

That is about as stupid as saying because you can add one more number to a sequence
god must exist. You labeling such a numbers as past or future has little to do with nothing.

Now you know this Wade. You know this very well. You think
because you can create a mental senerio that is imposible to deturmine the
out come a god must exist... truly funny. You might as well make jokes over
the sound of one hand claping and because it is so silly a god must exist.

All you have is vain speculation in the rediculas Wade and then exspect people to say
I have met my mental limit so a god must exist? Tell that to Thor or to one of the thousands
of other gods that humans have created.

I don't take you as a bad person Wade, you are not a universal evil. But you certanly
are NOT true to your knowledge. So what understanding of god do you have?
You don't know, as you don't know so many things, so a god must exist?
So why don't you say the same thing for a unicorn? What is the matter word games have
you confused also?

like I have said so many times, don't show me that humans can count, show me your god.
Don't show me what a god created but show the god. Your failure to do that to your self
and to others only shows that all you are doing is making claims. So say a truth Wade
a little self honesty goes a long ways--- all you are doing is making claims.
If you are using your personal credibilty as evidance of something you obviously have been
poorly educated, you might as well admit that also while you are at it if you ever
try that.

So once again the theist argument for a god breaks down in to nonsence.
So what do you realy hope to gain Wade by continuing your argumemnt or
are you driven by fears and cultural training?

Don't bother answering me as I exscpect that if a person can not be honest
in the knowledge that they have can not be honest to themself either. It
is a free country so you can do as you like. I highly doubt that if simply
showning that humans can count is not evidance for a god then
10,000 years of devistating daily degenerate human histroy in religion will not
perswade you either.

I might as well conclude that untill humans deside to think religious
history will just keep repeating its self over and over with little chance of
improvments, but of course you can rewrite history to make everthing all better.

You take care Wade, thanks for the time,

Don
