    If you believe that requires a capital G, then go for it. Your choice.

    Ultimaticity is singular by definition. "God" is unique by definition, whether or not you believe it exists.

    If you believe your invisible friend is better than someone else's invisible sky daddy then feel free to capitilize. Your god is not unique, just another superstitious myth, one of many. Your belief that your god is the same god that every theist worships is no more factual than the belief that there are many gods, I wonder what evidence you have for this claim?

    Caedes,

    I wonder what evidence you have for this claim ?

    I don't really wish to go too far with is question as it will take the post into another direction that will go around and around in circles.

    However there are a few thoughts at your request

    Romans 1:20 (New International Version)

    20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from

    what has been made, so that men are without excuse
    .

    To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. The heavens are recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse is declaring.Ps19:1

    Christ is the visible representation of the invisible God, the Firstborn and Lord of all creation. ......Col 1:15

    thoughts of calm - peace and comfort from the poem "DESIDERTA "

    Beyond a wholesome discipline,
    be gentle with yourself.
    You are a child of the universe
    no less than the trees and the stars;
    you have a right to be here.
    And whether or not it is clear to you,
    no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

    Therefore be at peace with God,
    whatever you conceive Him to be.

    peace - hope - love ~~Cal

    Peace. Today is a rare day, lately, when I feel unsettled in my soul. Probably hormones. I need some of that peace. Beautiful poem. Cal, you should read my post on the lent thread.

    Thanks for your gracious permission Caedes, I will continue to capitalize "God" when it suits me.

    BTS,

    So that would be no evidence for your claim then? Monty, you do not need my permission any more than I need to accept your claims for your god.

    Caliber,

    Acceptance of the words of your holy book is conditional upon a clear explanation of the rules by which you ascertain the difference between the allegorical and literal portions of the text.

    Otherwise I think I will stick to empirical evidence.
