Is god an objective reality?

Yes, I would say it's possible. I dunno.... where's the data?

Lets say I'm standing in front of a big curtain. I ask if anyone is behind it and someone says "Yes." Then I poke at the curtain and someone pokes back.In comes another person who asks me if there is anyone behind the curtain. I say yes. They then try to find out for themselves. The guy on the other side doesn't respond to thier voice nor thier pokes. So they conclude that there is nobody behind the curtain because of the lack of repeatable evidence.If god is a conscious being, then how can you get repeatable evidence if he decides who he reveals himself to?If he doesn't reveal himself in a repeatable way, how can we conclude that he doesn't exist?

Granny said it was "extremely suggestive that god is merely subjective". If you want to reserve the word "conclusion" then that's fine. But you gotta be careful with those absolute statements. All I have to do is find one person, who one time concluded that god does not exist for your statement to be false. Because, to me, it seems like god does exist. And I don't feel the need to prove something's existence for me to believe in it. I cannot prove that my mother loves me but I think she does. It depends on how you measure merit. But this is about god, not creation myths. And FYI, I'm not a Creationist^TM, but a Thiestic Evolutionist. Just as easily? Where's the data? Infinte regression is a problem for the First Cause argument, which I am not making.

Yeah, you totally missed the point by focusing on the details, which were unimportant. Oh well. No, it just point out that requiring repeatable observation does not apply to a conscious being who could render the observation un-repeated.That it is un-repeated doesn't suggest non-existence. The chance? Either god exists or not, no matter the evidence. Parsimony doesn't necessarily lead to the Truth^TM.If god exists, then he exists even with the lack of evidence no matter how parsimonious we want our theories to be. Yes, but if god revealed himself to you, personally, in an objective sense that he chose to not repeat and he did so in a way that was convincing to you, then you could easily believe in him without the repeatable evidence.

But you don't know. So do you have a point to argue or are we exchanging opinion?But you are wrong because if the above was true, then the concept of god could have never emerged. Sure, its possible.

You're right there, Granny.For this reason, I can't trust anyone but myself. Myself tells me that god does exist, so I believe that he does.

Somewhere in the distant past in humans' evolutionary history, there was no concept of god. Nowadays there is a concept of god. Somewhere in between, the concept of god had to have emerge.If, as you said, the concept of god couldn't exist without emotional attachment and prior knowledge, then the first concept of god couldn't have emerged. But it did, so you're wrong. I was ingrained as a chid too. Then I went to college. I was an atheist for a while, but I became reconvinced that god exists.I suppose it could be that the brainwashing was just that good, or that we fall back on what we're comfortable with, etc. But from my own experiences I have concluded that god exists. That is the truth I know

You mean like how not having repeatable evidence of god doesn't make a case against gods objectivity? Yeah well, there's millions of people that believe in god Nah, not whatever I sense... I mean, well, I have been drunk before. Why assume that I will?As if religious poeple are automatically prone to dangerous ideas....
