    Like I've said the God of the Bible is utter nonsense, like Richard Dawkins said. If you are are talking about a guy in the sky above the firmament that holds back the waters, there is no such thing. Sorry about that.

    But as he points out if you mean a higher order to things, there's that. Maybe a grand unification theory, or even a grand grand unification theory. That exists. And he also says if you want to call that "God", or February or kumquat, he would agree with that. Even if he didn't use your name for it.

    But if there is a God he is obviously impersonal. Because he allows a lot of evil and suffering in the world. Some say that's just a test. But like my 2000 atheist teacher said, what kind of "test" is that? That sounds horrible if true. But I started researching whether this was a good world or bad one around 1989. And everyone would agree it certainly not a perfect world. But some people, I read, still think it is the best of all possible worlds.

    Dawson invented his own nonsense word, while militant atheists in general can now brag that they invented totalitarian communism, and have ensured a quarter of the developed world still claims the sun revolves around the earth. Currently, they are busy helping everyone build advanced AI, that they claim will destroy humanity in possibly five years, while AI take away everyone's jobs, and automate even censoring everything.

    Forget about the Bible, without a stupid dictionary, go home and cry to mama.
