There is no such thing as “misinformation” about God, since he/she/it is made up and belongs to no single author. And you believe in God, believe things about that God and what it wants; you have a religion, whether you choose to admit it or not. And your posts are simply another attempt to infect others with your particular god-disease.
It pretty much died when you came into the thread and began posting nonsense and making false statements:
You have already been shown ways that color seeing peoplke could demonstrate that color exists to the color blind by multiple posters, yet you falsely claim that no one would accept the evidence.* That is nonsense. And, of course, you have your little anti-science diatribe in miniature when you declare that you are
In other words,
you set up a scenario
that other posters prove false
then you make a silly claim that the other posters are wrong
because you refuse to engage in science.
Then you want to come back and huff that you are right and everyone else is wrong, just because you hate facts and truth.
One more thread destroyed by the defense of willful and deliberate ignorance.
- In fact, I went to school with guy who was black/white/gray colorblind and he did accept the reality of color, from incidents very much like the one presented by other posters, so we have actual testimony that demonstrates that you are making a false claim (again).
That would only be true if your idiolectal definition of religion were true.
The difference between a religion and spirituality is that a religion is organized among multiple people. A solipsist may engage in spiritual beliefs, but those do not become a religion until they are shared by others (preferably with some form of liturgical worship).
But isn’t he claiming that thousands believe as he does?
Not from where I read his stuff. There are a few ideas that he thinks a lot of people hold in similar ways to ideas he holds, but if they are all interpreting them in their own private ways and they are not coming together to celebrate them, I do not see a religion, only a vague philosophical movement: generic New Age without even the coherence of Wicca or other systems that involve a coherent thought and a liturgy.
Then would you say you are agnostic concerning his version of a god, or atheistic(bringing this conversation back on topic)?
Well said, even if I come at this from the other side. There can be a belief in God or even a lack of disbelief in God without there being any religion involved.

If the word “solipsist” is being applied to spiritual people it is a misnomer.
Jesus said:
“What is real cannot be harmed,
everything else is illusion.”
I can find no quote from Jesus in the gospels remotely resembling this. To what verse are you referrring?
Oh, I am probably atheistic regarding lekatt’s view of the divine. His version of New Age pantheism clearly does not resonate with me. 
I applied the word solipsist with its exact meaning. I chose the extreme end of spirituality to make the point regarding the difference between spirituality and religion. Even a person who believes that he or she is the entirety of reality and all his or her experiences merely mental projections may invest some energy in probing himself or herself for the spiritual. This is not to say there may be no continuum. But for religion to be religion, it must embrace multiple believers sharing the same ideas and attempting to worship together.
Equating the word religion to the word spirituality robs one or both of them of a useful distinction in language. Thus, I will grant you a spirituality without a religion. On the other hand, making silly pronouncements about who does or does not get to have a spirituality does nothing but cloud the issue and make you look as though you want to sit in judgment on others’ beliefs.
You are forgeting that lekatt claims to speak to jesus on a regular basis so while it may not be in the bible you just need to take lekatt’s word for it. You gotta have faith…
I am sorry I misquoted it from memory, but you won’t find it in the Bible.
“Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.”
It was the beginning of the “A Course in Miracles.” The book was given by Jesus to a couple of Atheists. Their names were Helen Schucman and William Thetford, Professors of Medical Psychology at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City.
No use going any further, but I believe this Book will replace the Bible in the years to come in many churchs. It is already translated into 13 languages and has sold millions of copies. There are no contradictions in this book.
Try to remain calm as you read this post.
I have made no such claim. But you knew that, right?
So jesus gave a new magic, non-contradictory book to some atheists. In the 1970s. A New New Testament.
Have you considered that you might just be crazy?
You have repeatedly claimed to have spoken to god/jesus. You’re not going to bear false witness or anything are you?
Sorry, I can’t. I’m laughing too hard. Man, you can’t pay for this kind of entertainment.
Oh yeah? Well jesus told me they are full of shit.
Leave this sort of question for the Pit, not GD.

I’ve never read this before.
Did Star Trek IV crib the Vulcan First Law of Metaphysics from some odd neo-Catholic cryptoscripture?
Serious question Tom: If somebody spouts batshit crazy stuff in a GD thread any response must be made in a new pit thread? I mean if you want to make a flaming response I understand, but politely pointing out that a crazy person is crazy seems appropriate. Otherwise all responses to certain people would need new threads in the Pit. Lobohan just said what we have all been dancing around…
I know it came off as snarky, but I was trying to suggest that it might be mental illness that makes him so sure of his beliefs. I can’t say that I know anything beyond any doubt. If I saw the right evidence I could be convinced of God’s existence, but I can’t imagine being immune to questioning forces.
But as I’m new on the block, I’ll say I’m sorry and promise to try to exercise a modicum of restraint in the future.
