God, a subjective truth.

"You can not objectively know God, because you know things like pencils and paper objectively. Therefore, you can only know god subjectively, and not as an object. God can never be reasoned out and if he was able to be reasoned, no one would believe."
Kierkagard said something like that...

If my opinion is not clear after some 20,000 posts, then I am doing a poor of expressing myself.

So really you can't know God at all. I would say feelings are a form of knowing as well...
It's an obsolete term anyway.  The UNIVERSE is a much more exciting word.

Because the Conservative right wants to keep bashing gays and interfering with private rights; and the War on Drugs still continues.

this issue is so beyond complex I would not even begin to know where to start explaining it all
come to christianforums.com for some incredibly smart individuals(some historically based, some scientific and some like myself led by the spirit)
even atheists and pagans post(and there opinions are debated for the most part in a respecful manner)
christianity is the most complex issue I have ever tried to wrap my head around
but my faith is stronger then ever and my gifts are becoming more and more present and I say this not to boast in myself but to boast in god within me

my new quote the past few days has been "if you could prove god beyond a responsible doubt using scientific naturalistic methods, faith would be voided and our only requirement for life would be destroyed and thus jesus' actions made vain(and would void his godliness as well)
