I was clear in what I posted. I'm afraid you are on your own in understanding it.

I get it you have decided that anything that may lead to an acknowledgement of God is on par with the tooth fairy right out of the box. No reasoning required!

Again, you don't appear to have read anything I have posted, or at least not taken it in. Please don't bother replying to any of my posts, especially those directed to others.

As you wish but that is how I see what you have said.

If you are talking about a choice to believe something you know is true, then it isn't a belief, no belief is required. If your understanding is faulty and what you accept by choice is about an error, then your choice to believe puts you in error.

If you are talking about a choice to believe something you know is true, then it isn't a belief, no belief is required.

Why must it, for you, be "belief" and not "knowledge"?

If someone has "knowledge" of [in this case] some threats or warnings from a vengeful supernatural being, one still has free will concerning obedience.

But if it is merely belief/speculation ~ of the kind that underpins your personal opinions about supernatural things ~ then one cannot just decide to believe them if they are not convincing. Psychologically speaking, it rings false.

Go on. Just tell yourself that the acute problems you have with communication are always someone else's fault, and not yours. Go on.

Of course your extensive education and training in psychology has prepared you for this. 🙄

If he were a follower of the FMF School of Communication, right now he'd ask you "what are you on about now?"

If you disagree, then say why. An attempted ad hominem about my education is merely a cop out. If you believe your education and training in psychology makes your analysis more persuasive than mine, why not demonstrate it?

My observation about KellyJay's problem with discourse is an astute one. Your banter about it doesn't measure up and, once again, you sell yourself short.

If he were a follower of the FMF School of Communication...

If he were, he'd be a shrewder and more erudite proponent of his beliefs and opinions.

And yet say absolutely nothing.

Nope. As always, you are the one attempting to sell me short. And as always, you fail.

I'm only giving you the time you deserve. I'm a busy person.

This is not true.

Run away, then.
