Question: If god is a metaphysical concept?

(Posted by: JamesLee on 2010-02-26 17:40:56)

...then how can one attempt to "prove " God's existence? Proof, physical proof, cannot be applied to metaphysical concepts. Anything in the realm of the physical world by definition cannot be metaphysical - they are opposites. By definition, they cannot interact.

That would put all of the worlds religions in a pickle now wouldn't it? I would expect any theist to say that God can do anything he wants anyway so you and your rules can go pound salt.

So then why do people pray to God if he cannot help them?

Metaphysical is just a fancy word for “make-believe.�

Exacttly ! that is the proof, that god does not exist. Because if god lives in his metaphysical world, and you say that the metaphysical world can not interact with our physical one, where I agree,.......well, you get the point. god can not hear prayers, and can not send Jesus over to us, and can not create anything outside his own realm, like we can not go to his, since there is no interaction possible.

So when god gave what's-his-face the 10 Commandments, it was really written by 4 monkeys in a fat man suit?
