Assertions about The Unknowable God

-Removed-

Do you feel like you're stuck at the bus stop in the pouring rain?

@josephw said
No, that's not all. You perceive yourself as "not religious" because you think "religion" means believing in an actual living creator being.

You are mistaken. Religion is man made. Surely, since you are unaware of the existence of a creator being, and deny his existence, you can see that religion must then be man's own invention!?

Clearly, if God doesn't exist, all belief systems and practices are of human origin.

All religions are "man made". Even if a creator entity exists, all religions that purport to worship that creator entity are "man made". The Hebrews made their religion [it branched off into three], the Hindus made their religion, and so on.

Agreed.

If a "creator entity exists", man's assertions relative to anything about that entity that that entity hasn't informed man of is religion.

Including your own.

I used to be religious but I am not any more.

I do not "deny the existence" of a creator entity. I've explained that to you dozens and dozens of times.

I've never been religious. I'm a realist.

I don't have religion. I'm not religious. I don't do religious things.

You can't process that can you?

I'm aware of the dozens and dozens of times you said that.

If you were listening you would have heard me say you are unaware of God.

You can't "deny" God's existence because you don't know whether he exists or not.

Which means, in translation, you are unaware of God.

You're a Bible-quoting religionist.

I am fully aware of your particular God figure and I do not find anything you say about it to be credible. If God = a creator entity, however, I do not deny its existence. Indeed, I see evidence that might demonstrate that a creator entity exists.

In your unaware and uniform opinion.

Quoting the scriptures doesn't make one religious.

You are religiously hampered by your own narrow perspective.

I spent nearly three decades immersed in the same faith as you profess: I am plenty aware of your God figure and the claims you make about it.

What other evidence is there here that you believe in the Christian God apart from you quoting scriptures and asserting tenets of your faith?
