Does your view of God vary depending on circumstances?

No, you don't have to. However, I have objective and tangible evidence that in principle, ex-wives exist. The claim is not extraordinary. I don't have objective and tangible evidence that any deity exists. I do have objective and tangible evidence people believe in a god and/or gods, but that does not mean that God/gods exist. I do have objective and tangible evidence people can misinterpret things, and people have emotional reactions.

What can you SHOW me. Do you have something that you can show me, and give me a reason that what you show me is evidence for a God that doesn't assume there is a God?

I can't show you a thought. Neither can I show you Harrison Ford or God. I can't even show you the key board on which I am typing.

I am as certain of the existence of God as I am of the existence of Harrison Ford, human thought and my keyboard as I am of God.

God is likely chuckling at our little exchange here. At least, I HOPE He's chuckling. I'd hate to be a pillar of salt after I send this. I have a lawn to mow. Which also exists and which I also cannot show you.

Nothing of merit to one who can see through this sort of false analogy, yes, and there's no need to apologise.

Ah, but there is.

Just as I was never able to adequately explain the beauty of the Packers Power Sweep to my ex-wife, I am unable to explain this to you.

Again, I am sorry.

Since Harrison Ford is still alive, I can give you instructions how to show him. It can be objectively and tangibly observed, to even you if you followed the instructions. God, and thought, not so much. Thought can be represented by brain activity though, so I can show you thoughts being generated by the use of an MRI.

Ok, so you admit you cannot articulate a demonstration of your claim with any efficacy. Apology accepted.

No keyboard was involved, this thoughtful and willful god thought the post into existence.

Are the topic(s) of thoughts also real?

One of my thoughts was God.

With respect, you have just proven yourself wrong. ;)

It all depends on what the topics are and what your definition of the word topic is. One can really think about imaginary beings such as goblins leprechauns and gods. That will not magic them into existence.

God is real because you can think about a god? How does that work? I just thought about pixies.
