From what I have read of your posts you don't appear to be arguing for belief in God, atheism or agnosticism clearly which is why I went for the 'other' box. However, as there are so many threads on this forum it may be that you may have said something really clearly on the existence of God somewhere. I guess that is the problem with so many threads and the busy nature of the forum, going on 24 hours a day. It may mean that parts get missed and hidden in the understanding of each other's complete philosophies.

Now I see his evil plan, he wants people to follow him so that they can get to know him and participate in this thread.

Evil genius. :smirk:

Here's a clue. You're all wrong.

he wants people to follow him — Sir2u

I never looked that facility before, so I don't follow anyone, but I just looked and discovered I have 22 followers. That's almost a whole cults-worth! I must message them all and tell them where to send their money.

BTW, so do I

To quote Jung: "I needn't believe. I know."

Philosophers have valiantly fought the tyranny of religion and tradition; but they have come under the sway of the tyranny of knowledge and become hypnotised by the tricks of science. We are ruled by arrogant certainty and it is taking us to our grave. Don't be so sure.

Jung wrote too much. Have you read Alice Miller? Her thesis is that Freud was confronted with patients suffering from traumatisation from child sexual abuse, but because he was being paid by the parents, had to dismiss their experiences as 'fantasy', and invented a whole theory of how this could be, setting the course of psychology back a century and causing untold misery. Jung didn't really get to this either, but got embroiled in the exploration of the same imaginary realm. So it goes.

Haven't read Miller, no. I suppose this thread is just an opportunity for unenlightened to enlighten us? As MU mentioned, we all do consider you god, myself included.

Those are the words of God Himself! I'm sure of it. Look, He can alter the truth of fundamental arithmetic, He made the poll scores add up to 101%. He\s more powerful than Google!

The blind following an old blind man with a stick, mistaking it for a vision. [tries to remember that old trick of turning a stick into a snake... that was a real deepity.]

He made the poll scores add up to 101%. — Metaphysician Undercover

If even one you had been without error, the scores would have added up correctly - it was none of my doing - I didn't even participate. But wait- perhaps the world can yet be redeemed if I do:-

There! order is restored with one percent of freedom.

Freedom in arithmetic? Contradiction.

The numbers do not lie; the votes add up to 99% therefore 1% is free and undecided even amongst those who have voted. As I have often said if the world appears to be in contradiction, change your diction, because the world does what it wants.

Put it in his obituary that he cared -- more than most.
