I'll tell you straight up God can't be proved. I've already said that numerous times.
God can't be described, explained, calculated, proven in a petri dish or bible. The closest it can come is anecdotal.
I abandoned the popular anecdotes because of the fallacies... but you can't argue against God, based on those fallacies, with other fallacies.
I admit I already knew your story by seeing it play out many times. Folks putting faith in church and the pulpit, and when church and 'man' failed your faith, God did too.
I only continued this conversation from that other thread to get your testimony. Of course I didn't have proof you were baptized as a christian, which was the bait, but I knew you were. I also know you are holding something back on your need to disprove God. Tell it when you want or never.
Heaven and hell is anecdotal also, so see ya around... lol

I never said I was Baptized, I said I attended Church.
However, here is the most important thing you said:

So you admit there is not evidence for your God. In addition, you can't even define him, which would be the very first step in presenting a logical argument for him. Belief despite a total lack of evidence. We have a word for that. It's Faith.
as a wholly untrained laymen, that sounds just like the ancient goat-herders gathered under the shade of various oak trees, discussing the issues, as their herds grazed upon the available grass.
the ancient Rabbi's deduced long ago that no-one has any hope of understanding the mind of God, whatsoever.
Actually Gus, there's more to it then that. It's a tool the preachers use to keep the faithful from questioning some of the outlandish stuff in the Bible. So when someone asks why God did some immoral act the preachers can just claim, "No one knows the mind of God", or "He works in mysterious ways". It's really nothing more then a way to quell inquiry.

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
