venio, video, vinco. (I come, I see, I conquer)

[Ecbarrowes]

I welcome all challenges to God's existence, benevolence.

[Mr.Obvious]

The misquote is a joke?
Just to get a feel, i ask.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Religious, they can't spell English, leave alone Latin.

Ah, i see.

To OP. I don't necessarily oppose your god claim. But you should make it before i could 'challenge' it.

Define what your god is, before expecting a challenge to your claim.

What's a god?

[Blackleaf]

I welcome all challenges to God's existence, benevolence.

Welcome to the server.

I'll challenge your god's existence once you're done disproving the existence of space aliens.

[Ecbarrowes]

The famous Latin quote is past tense. I altered it to the present tense,  meaning I conquer all challenges.

[Ecbarrowes]

God exists and is benevolent.

[Blackleaf]

God exists and is benevolent.

How do you know this?

[Ecbarrowes]

"Knowledge" can have such potent force that in all self-honesty, you cannot deny it. Absolute certainty of a thing can be delivered to the soul by God. In order to distinguish such from other ideas which are not truly "known" requires a calm, clear mind, introspection, self-honesty.

So, basically, you are the sole decider of the divine truth? And anyone in disagreeance with you is wrong "because" you are the sole arbiter of divine truth?

Edit:
Thank god we have someone here whom we know to be right because they thought about it long and hard enough without changing their mind, so much so that they MUST absolutely, and without a doubt, be completely right about it.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Ah, the because I said so argument. KMA

Every individual has the ability to communicate with God. That eliminates the need for one person to trust another (an ugly fallacy, I agree).

[Unbeliever]

Ecbarrowes, If you want to believe that a God exists and is benevolent, why should that concern any of us?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Every individual has the equal ability to communicate with God. I.e., none.
