How do you distinguish between the belief in God and the occult?

You only say that because you are religious and anti-atheist.

 

You're so rabidly atheist that you spew nonsense like this... an astounding feat of STUpidity, even for you

It [the Christian God] expects the correct understanding to be that there is no God.
The Christian God would have to be an atheist anyway

You're a creationist. You can't even understand your own reasoning when it is fed back to you.

 

Good dog. Tell another lie.

That was YOUR contorted "reasoning" that you "thought" showed problems with Pascal's Wager.

 

.. you can't reason why, but only claim it is.

 

Good points, atheists don't believe in the existence of the Gods of religions, and that, and also other, to them, unsavory aspects of the religion industry, lead them to be, sometimes, strongly and fervently anti-religion. On the other hand, don't you think that part of your post I put into italics is perhaps a little too all encompassing? Afterall the "Godly" preach moderation in everything except their religious fervor.

 

Here is a philosophical argument for the god believers.
Could your god have existed only for the split second of the big bang and then was no more?

 

Sort of like a celestial suicide bomber?

 

Not with my understanding but I can see where one would think that plausible.

I myself view the universe as continually being created by God.

 

Wouldn't that be using a human measuring stick called "Time"?

As Einstein proved, Time is relative.....
