    I know I know but half the fun is breaking the rules..I know how precious some folk are with their gramma (spell check fort hard on dat one wrongly insisted on adding an "m" but I got tit right in da end.
    I know what I will go for triple negative which will be wrong and right all at once.
    Not never gonna say nuttin bout nuffin ever again..can you count them up I think I one upped it...would adding an udder never fix it?
    Still suffering OS I guess?

    God, the concept that can't be falsified.

    He didn't say all things are parts of God. He said God is all things.

    There are parts of a car that are not the radiator.

    The same reasoning does not apply to his God, as defined. There are no things that are not God, according to his definition.

    Understand?

    You forgot to post your own definition of God, by the way. Or are you adopting Bowser's?

    Again, who said God could be verified at all?


    Who said God was "solid"?

    Get busy contenting yourself, mate.

    Yes, and those people probably have no clue what you mean by "verifiable". If you're satisfied playing "lost in translation" to feel good about shooting fish in a barrel, that's on you.

    The OP asked for a definition of what people believe, not verification.

    Take it to a separate thread if you want to discuss your misunderstanding of physics further. This one is about definitions of God.

    If God is everything, then Energy would be one of them--as I told Alex earlier.

    Please explain the difference. If all things are not part of God, wouldn't the only alternative be some nonsensical state where each individual thing is wholly God? Do you really think that's what he meant? If God is all things and each thing is not wholly God, the only reasonable take is that each thing is part of God.
    Please, exercise a skosh of reason.

    That's a non sequitur. Since no one said all car parts were radiators (I did also mention "wheels, etc."), you may be confused about the metaphor. Car = God. Parts = things. Pretty simple.

    Seems you don't understand. Having no things that are not a part or manifestation of God doesn't make whatever point you may be attempting.

    God is a large topic. The definition depends on the context. For now, I'm satisfied to discuss the current context.

    I thought I commented earlier...I did please read what I wrote.

    I thought you did but I guess you didnt and why would you?

    Well I will but I am disappointed that you rolled over so easily.

    I bet you are right on the money...making stuff up is not what we mean when we ask for something verifiable.

    What on Earth are you talking about now?
    If someone shot your fish don't blame me..I didn't even know you had fish..how many were shot? Any survivors? Check the security cam and you we see it was not me.

    Probably Christians they are obsessed with fish.

    OK we have played hide and seek and very enjoyable it was, you are rather good at hiding if I may say so, but no more games why don't you at least try to outline your thoughts and just see if you can talk normally about whatever it was when you became obsessed with the car thing.

    I once thought metaphor was the height of expression until someone pointed out that it was similar to swearing...how? Well when you swear you become lazy grabbing an F..k or the like..often folk end up with just one swear word so that word substitutes for every noun, adverb and adjective etc so they forget how to use real words and now here you are in a similar position so comfortable with metaphor that you can not find the real words anymore...you see the problem I expect..It comes from the cults propensity to use silly stories to con the kids you know.

    Sure but that gives you no licience to talk rubbish...try again...don't listen to those claims that you are unworthy.

    And to you also may I wish you happy Easter holidays and hope you remain safe from the virus. Nice chatting as always. I hope you are around when Jan gets back but don't tell him that photo to the left of your posts is your great ancestor as he gets a bit thingy about that sort of stuff.

    Go read that post again. That was a response to paddoboy, unless that's a sockpuppet of yours.

    What happened to your "I will not trouble you again"?

    Then why pretend like you're making any point at all to such people? Superficial ego?

    See, still playing "lost in translation". Does that do anything for you?
    If you think you make any point by telling off people who don't know what you mean by "verify", well, that's just rather sad.

    Keep quelling your cognitive dissonance, mate.

    Don't want to don't have to.

    I was on my way out and near tripped over your carcass with your legs in the air.

    I don't pretend ( well I was pretending being a stock trader ) you are reading between the lines like someone else I know.

    As I said I hope you are around when Jan gets back... he is best to comment on ego given his unfortunate first hand experience.

    I thought I was just confused.

    You too...what is cognitive dissonance?...just joking..and this tells me a little more...even Jan says this about me so I guess the both of you can't be wrong.

    My spell checker is controlled by the devil I swear...really I should post something unedited and what I actually typed...it will substitute words that don't even have the same letters...And the simplest of corrections it will miss. It will not go with hell...ever..it puts he'll...I typed h e l l and again he'll.
    It can go to help..that was typing h e l l in capitals. It not don't ( that was wont do) it now but Binos the other day it gave bible...which was funny cause that was what I was taking to use in the dark.

    What, that you don't bother to read who a response was meant for? Obviously.

    I get the impression you think things tell you a lot more than they actually do.

    You are a mine of info and you just keep giving. The fact you replied to this specifically.
    And you are right.

    Myths and fairy tale stories are never verifiable by definition.
