Where's your source that they 'absorbed' these ideas simply because they pre-existed rather than coincidentally deciding they were a good idea through unrelated thought processes?

I'm still waiting for MLG to explain why he believes that God isn't making him doubt the existence of God Himself... Surely there must be some irrefutable evidence that God isn't playing such doubters like a fiddle...?

Just because an activity existed before someone else later carried out the same activity doesn't necessarily mean they did it just because it pre-existed. They might have had their own reasons for doing an activity that others happened to have done before for different reasons.

Having been in the IT industry myself for almost 40 years, I feel your pain

As I say, how do you know for certain that it wasn't His intention to make you think that...?

Have we reached arithmetic overflow yet...?

bite_count = bite_count + 1

There's plenty of room on my fence for fellow open-minded people

Genuine question.... Why are people debating the existence of God with MLG when he's repeatedly stated that he hasn't ruled out the existence of God...?

Depends on whose dream this particular universe is taking place in... Either way, you've got no evidence that you actually exist...

That old book that God planted to make people doubt it's authenticity...? (Good game this )

If you saw what was stuck in my drawers you would't call it a Goddess...

You think or you're made to believe you think...?

The one that makes humans believe there is more than one...

Anyway, what's the point of this discussion when no-one has any evidence that any of us exist...?

Believe, not belive

Indeed. I just hope that religious people are thankful for doubters such as MLG given the hard work he puts in to reinforce their faith...

Yep, but purposely wired his (and others') brains to doubt His existence. It's working a treat...

Indeed, that's exactly how God intended humans to think when he invented them. He's played a blinder to be fair.

Nah, just to make them sound like buffoons...

How do we know when God made humans, he didn't also invent 'science' to make them believe that the universe was nothing to do with him? (Yes, I know it's a moot question given the universe doesn't actually exist)

Sport, not Spprt

I've come to the conclusion that MLG is my wife. She's the only person I know in the universe that is always right and never wrong. (Assuming this universe is real and not a figment of another being's imagination, of which we have no evidence of course...)

I've just discovered that St George's Day isn't today after all... it's 28th April this year... Bit of a moveable feast (much like Boxing Day)... https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/st-georges-day-moved-23-april-new-date-why-b2737877.html

Because we're not as parochial and inward-looking as those nations...?
