@Glennn,
Quote:But that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about humans like Neologist presuming to know the mind of the god and what motivates it. What does the book or the god have to say about that?
Hmmm.. You started by saying that Neo could not know the mind of God.
I Asked whether there was some basis for an atheist saying a theist could not know the mind of God.
You countered by saying the book told you so.
I countered by citing the book advising to go directly to God for answers to all questions.
You now say that's not what we are talking about and say Neo (a theist I presume) who says certain things about the mind of God. You are very adept at leading Conversations in circles.
I must now ask you (again) whether it is reasonable that we should accept your assertion that Neo (who presumably does go to God for answers) does not know the mind of God or Neo's claim that he does.
Your assertion is at best a second hand account of what is in someone else's mind whereas Neo's claim is at least a firsthand account of his own knowledge.
I make no claim as to which of you is right, merely asking which is the more reasonable claim to accept. As to motivation, I will assume you both want the truth.
