So in essence you know what God thinks as well as what this bird thinks? You are amazing!
I have no idea what the bird thinks. But I can assume it's not "Wow, there's galveston! So cool".
And I'm naive? Sounds like another atheist cheap shot. What is the word for only popping into this forum on occasion to score a cheap shot and then disappear again? Go ask your atheist buddies, I'm sure they know. Don't they know everything?

Originally posted by PhlabibitI disagree. I think it is possible (for some) to know "Gods" will, however I doubt there are many , so few in fact that it is a negligable figure.

Sorry, I don't get your point here. Could you please re-phrase that for me?
I said, "A person's being ignorant of God's will, would be God's will. Insha'Allah."
This is not meant as a disagreement with what you said. In fact, my own opinion is that no one knows God's will, there being do such a person as a God that wills things. "No one" is a negligible figure indeed.
I mean to say: It would be God's will (if there were God) that a person is ignorant of God's will. Clearly then, God wills that that person be ignorant, being ignorant being unaware or unknowing. It's not meant to be derogatory. The "would" indicates, "if there were such a being as God." The "Insha'Allah indicates a prayer that what one will's, will align with what God wills (not the other way around.) I heard many people utter this prayer during a very rough landing in Turkey.
