    BG 9.4 By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them.

    BG 9.5 And yet everything that is created does not rest in Me. Behold My mystic opulence! Although I am the maintainer of all living entities and although I am everywhere, I am not a part of this cosmic manifestation, for My Self is the very source of creation.

    etc etc

    Look, if I wanted to read scriptures, I could have done that myself.

    The question was posed at YOU. Are you unable to answer?

    you?
    pick up a scripture to answer some question you have about god?

    ..... I doubt it


    I did that originally but for some reason you thought I was making it up or something

    Your problem is that you hold your scriptures as unquestionable truths that can serve as proof on your behalve. :bugeye:

    Q asked where god is
    I told him

    If he had asked how does one perceive god, I would have directed him to normative descriptions in scripture

    No, you didnt tell him. You only refered him to some chewed-out passage from the bible, which only theists hold for true. How is this any proof for an atheist ? :crazy:

    Have you found your evidence yet ? Keep trying...

    No, you lied, you said he was everywhere. If he was, I would have found him.

    Yet, another source devoid of answers.

    Q

    electrons are also quite easy to come across - if you have the proper qualifications for perceiving them that is .....

    so in other words if god exists there is no qualification for perceiving him (despite the contrary being established in scripture)?

    Emnos
    ?
    once again
    Q did not ask for proof

    Have you found out how knowledge can be ascertained by one bereft of qualification? Keep trying ....

    Any power socket will accommodate. You WILL perceive them.

    perceiving electrons?
    as already mentioned, people were playing with electricity for at last a hundred years before anyone had anything to say about electrons

    I dont have to, and im not planning to. You go believe your fantasy, see if i care... :shrug:
    It almost like you need confirmation for your believe... why else would you be pushing the kind of questions you are..

    do you really understand english LG, is english your first language.
    only you dont seem to understand what normative actually means.
    shall I rewrite you statement, so you can understand how it errs.
    "If he had asked how does one perceive god, I would have directed him to assumptive descriptions in scripture."do you understand where you err now.
    so you could not have possibilly helped Q, with that kind of statement could you.
    you need to think first and write after, LG.

    whatever, but if there are claims of something and also claims of how to perceive it, its not clear why you reject both the process without having come in contact with either (only in terms of religious knowledge of course)
