LIKE I SAID.

Calling Micheal Jordan a basketball GOD does not make him a damn God.

Can you not understand the use of context?
No, I'm not stupid.

As per the PROOF I provided you as to the definition of "God".
If someone perceives Michael Jordan a "God" because they feel that way about him...then he is a "God"...to THEM.
Maybe not to YOU...but that doesn't matter. As long as he is a "God" to somebody...then he is a "God"...AAAAAAAND, "God Exists".

See...I provided PROOF that a "God" can be defined as: "a person or thing of supreme value".
Sooooooo...based on that PROOF...anyone or anything that is perceived as being of "supreme value" for whatever reason...can definitively be a "God" to the person that has that perception. YOUR differing perception notwithstanding.

Don't like that? Take it up with Merriam-Webster. Tell them that you know how to define words better than them.
By the way...good luck with that.

If you have something to rebut my PROOF...other than your opinion based in ignorance, and kiddie stuff like "Are you stupid?"...then present it.

No, the Buddhas are more powerful than Demiurges or Brahmajalas. In fact, if God is the most powerful thing, and we can separate God from other stuff,

then God + the other stuff = the actual most powerful thing.

The most powerful thing is Everything, as long as the Bodhisattva are included.

We've got it. So, since Michael Jordan is a god is someone's eyes, and you worship God, then you worship Michael Jordan.

Don't forget, there is more cancer today than ever along with other diseases. We are kept alive longer only by artificial means and the tallness is by artificial means of vitamins.

You'd have to travel x number of miles to get to the other end to find the leprechaun but by then the rainbow would be gone and you'd have missed your chance of finding your leprechaun. But just because you chose the wrong end does not mean leprechauns do not exist.

Wow, E! Reading comprehension is not your strong point, is it.

You were asked to prove the following:

3. that Leprechauns would not cure us

So, therefore they must exist, love us, and can cure us if we pray to them.
You implied that you could do so.

And then you proceeded to try to show the opposite, for some strange reason. Unless you are really serious about your belief in leprechauns...

Try again, and this time see if you can actually do what you claimed!

Why are they fake and your God is not?



Think outside your Western world box.

There's 7 billion people on this planet.. Some who live in remote areas and have never even heard of your God.
What happens to them?

How does the text say to worship those gods?

Their respective cultures/texts suggest that they are worshipped.

I don't know what text you speak of specifically.
There are many "Gods" created by human imagination. Please specify which you speak of.

You listed the names of gods in your quote. According to the primary texts containing those names, in what manner should they be worshipped?
