George Bush said god told him to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.

Isn't that proof?

Or was GB wrong, or lying? If he didn't "hear" god, who did he hear?

That's just silly, only qualified trained people
can hear god. The rest are just talking to
themselves. How you tell the difference is
beyond me. I'm glad I don't have that
problem. Atheists know when they're
talking to themselves and know not to
make a big deal out of it.

Too bad it wasn't the spread of factual information

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

That is a really neat video. I also like Nareed's post.

This is more of a simple question, but I'm not going to open that thread again.

So you pray, you receive guidance, you launch military action against two countries. (Pres Bush)

How does anyone know, including yourself, if god was really telling you this is what he wants you to do?

I liked the Church Lady. Or rather the satire of religion Dana Carvey made with her.

But I'm surprised you liked it. Maybe you didn't remember the Church Lady sketches in SNL.

Objectively, there's no effing way to tell. I mean, short of a clear, well-documented miracle along with a note or clear statement saying "Bomb 'em back to the stone age," no.

Subjectively, well, it doesn't matter. But you could "tell" based on feelings.

Feelings? Seriously? The kid in the Middle East
'feels' that god just told to him to strap on a bomb
vest, should he go with those 'feelings'?

God talking to you is just like you talking to
yourself, because that's exactly what it is.
