Oh Tom, you're spoiling the fun! If posters only gave one of your yes/no answers that would result in a thread that died very quickly. Much more fun to wind up the nutters who love to post vast amounts of data that nobody else understands. A bit of teasing and you get another long article explaing the difference (if any?) between god, Jesus, Yah, Yeshua, Yahweh and who knows what other names! Personally I've never heard of most of them before. I've managed to live for nearly 70 years and not needed to know about these people!!!
LOL, I know...
and for many, after they only replied yes, someone followed with claiming God is fake so make your case, with their answer quoted.
soon, it became past simple answers.
Which demands a rebuttal...why?
I could see
samawi30 asking but for anyone else to take it upon themselves to set the rest of M2 straight is pretty weird seeing how it isn't even that their thread.
Since this thread is a personal opinion thread, someone claiming God is fake is their personal opinion. Someone claiming God is not fake is their personal opinion.
As this thread is intended,
samawi30 is asking one question of people.
DOES GOD EXIST ?
There is no stipulation anyone must agree with anyone.
There is no request for clarification, proof or justification.
There is no assumption of a right or wrong answer.
One person's answer does not imply compliance with everyone.
Socially, the person with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) usually exhibits a fragile ego (self-concept), intolerance of criticism and a tendency to belittle other people, in order to validate his or her own superiority.
Intolerance of other's personal opinions needing to validate or assert their own superior opinion is also NPD.
While many religions cater to narcissistic people, the fields of science also caters to narcissistic people. This is because narcissism is a social disorder caused by personal interaction.
It sells products, captures attention and validates existence.
Nearly anyone alive today that can access the internet has been exposed to narcissism. Its in the NEWS, TV shows, commercials, movies, billboards, magazines, newspapers, books, packaging of the products you buy. Its in all social groups like family, school, work, parades, carnivals, on the streets.
Narcissistic tendencies are so widespread they are nearly invisible unless they are grossly amplified in someone.
Its why this benign thread flipped to part two.
