Exactly.

Don't you have better things to do
than telling people what to believe or not?

What makes you think
God should not contradict
your idea of logic?

Did you make the universe?

You are the one who makes things up about the god you worship and then
gets upset when people point out what was done. By the way, if you knew
something about Aphrodite, you would know that she was not merely a
goddess of lust. You are the one who insists that the god you worship is
only love. Clearly you do not worship the God of Christianity which is
far more complexly described than your simplistic god.

What does that have to do with your god. You don't worship the God of
Abraham or Jesus.

You seem to be absolutely certain about that.
Google: Pot, Kettle, and Black.

What does that have to with your meaningless phrase:
"Rather like Nothingness to some."??
(Apart from more philosophical bullshit, that is.)

Just what is your goal here?
You are like an intellectual mosquito.
Distracting, mildly annoying, a completely useless parasite, and when
any light is shone on the subject, you are nowhere to be seen.

Not always.
Especially when I am being annoyed by pointlessly disconnected
chakra-babble from an infant-school philosopher.

You never did answer my question as to whether or not you were lying
when you implied that you are an atheist.
But then again, I do not expect to get any form of reality or honesty
from you.
I see that you have not disappointed me in that respect.

I think that I have got better things to do than engage in a battle of
wits with an unarmed opponent.

I gather you didn't read widely.
But that would not excuse your bad manners.

Unlike some clueless people,
I don't feel the need to answer
all questions once and for all.

Things change.
People change.
Knowledge increases.
Science gets better.
Even theology advances.

You would feel a lot better
once you learn to live with uncertainty.

Do you know when you are going to die?

Well, you may believe that you need a psychiatrist, but don't place
the blame on me for that particular atheistic deception. I do not
have any psychiatrists.

Well, compare your statement with one from Isaiah.
Isaiah 5:16 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and
God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
