In the end it does not matter in the least whether god exists or not, because god's existence would only make a difference if god communicates with us. A deist god who exists outside of the material universe, and does nothing more than perhaps watch, affects nothing. The real question is not, does god exist, but do any of the religious messages come from beyond. And given the poor quality of most religious messages, I think that it is safe to assume, that they are not from an all knowing or even a reasonably intelligent god.

@Fernapple All religious literature and anecdotal accounts are of human construct. I agree with you, if there is "something" out there then it is not interacting with life on this planet.

I am sorry. It is hard to get complex ideas into short posts, but please get from it what you will. It may only speak to people who have listened to and read a lot of religious apologetics, then you will hear the familiar voice perhaps.

@Fernapple It also applies to political doublespeak.

Yes it is not a very clever plot, even orange persons can manage it. But having said that, not everybody spots when it is being used on them.
