@divegeestersaid In a Venn diagram I think there are Christians who make assertions about god and there people who assertions about themselves and I think there are people who lack self awareness.
You sit right in the middle.
Then, I think, there are those that make assertions that are merely their opinions.
Self awareness is overrated. One is better off being aware of Christ.

It a pity that whatever (and it’s hard to perceive) awareness of Christ which you may have, does not sufficiently compensate for the self awareness you clearly lack. Otherwise you would see that you are just another religious mouthpiece blurting your assertions which are merely your opinions.

What is a pity is your pathetic attempt to justify your personal opinions about my "self awareness" while detracting away from the truth of God's Word relative to the topic of the discussion, which is what God has said about Himself.
@secondsonsaid Unless, of course, you're wrong, and my assertions are based in truth.
You are perfectly entitled to believe that your speculations about supernatural matters are truths. But as long as you are making assertions about things or beings you simply have faith in ~ assertions that are immune to empirical scrutiny ~ then you are in the realm of subjectivity.

The topic of discussion is actually “the typical RHP whiner”.

Which you are indemnifying perfectly, thank you.
Odd that you can't see how it is you that is whining.
The OP is a whine. You typify a complaining whiner probably because you feel helpless to control and reconcile the opinions and beliefs of others that disagree with your sanctimonious opinions, ergo the launching of your typical lambasting diatribes as exemplified by your OP and the majority of the content of all your posts.

And you are entitled to your own distorted opinions.
That you deny God's revelation of Himself to mankind, and assume, without empirical evidence to the contrary, that an assertion made by God Himself about Himself has no validity, based on your limited knowledge and experience, then you are in the realm of the subjective and fail to recognize objective truth.
@secondsonsaid And you are entitled to your own distorted opinions.
My opinions ~ as are yours on these supernatural/ spiritual matters ~ are subjective. Perhaps that's what you mean by the word "distorted". It's not a word I have ever used to describe your faith, beliefs, opinions. "Subjective" is sufficient.

There is no onus on me to provide empirical evidence to somehow prove that anyone's God figure does not exist. Nor do I need to.
I have no credible reason to believe you have any factual information about any possible God or possible creator being that may or may not exist.
So your claims about what such a being has supposedly "asserted" to human beings cannot be described as objective facts or truths. If they were, I would believe them for the same reason you do.

you are in the realm of the subjective
Yes I am. You are right. And I have never claimed otherwise.

Of course I can see what the topic is, it’s my thread you idiot.
I was calling you out for blurting on about the topic being god’s word and your opinion of it. Do you even read the posts you are replying to?
