Where's the experimental evidence that there is actually a god? Davidy²²[talk] 02:01, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Consider who is proposing such an experiment. QED. 184.66.160.91 03:10, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Subjectivism is the provenance of earth-scientists and the devout. But god preserve us from the devout earth-scientists. (That's the thing about god, he's the only one who can get the monkey off your back.)

I'm sure you can find not one but several definitions of god with experimental evidence. Of course, this says more about how vague definitions of god are that about the god. -- Hkmaly (talk) 00:06, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
Agreed. There are no proof that no god exist, only some proof that certain definition of god cannot be true. Arifsaha (talk) 20:49, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Oddly considering Paul was Jewish (as was Jesus) most Christian versions of the bible have slanted their beliefs to allow a comma after the word father in the verse quoted. Just found out that so do Unitarian bibles. Does Jewish have commas?

With a large "if I'm remembering right" first... The relevant book of the Bible was written in Greek. They didn't even put spaces between words, much less use punctuation, but why would that make it strange for commas to be used in English translations?173.245.50.174 17:47, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

The play on the quote in the comic is that it is plus or minus Jesus as god in that verse. Rather a loaded quote from a trained lawyer!

PPS: IANAL.

Assuming you mean the quote from Corinthians, that's in the New Testament only. Jews don't have that book at all.--199.27.133.131 02:19, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
While all three of these are Abrahamic religions, and as such have some overlap in their beliefs and texts, combining them all into one religion would be far from a simple process….

I dunno, it seems to have worked for the Orange Catholics in Dune. -- KarMann (talk) 11:38, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Messianic Judaism is a thing, so Judaism and Christianity have already been combined. So really, you just need to figure out how to combine Messianic Judaism and Islam. Now, basically every follower of any Abrahamic religion will inevitably consider the hybrid religion to be heretical... 172.71.150.67 20:24, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Reminds of me the First Amalgated Church from Futurama... "Dearly liked, here we are, gathered before one or more gods or fewer." 172.71.158.25 03:14, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

No mainstream christian denominations "follow such a doctrine", because that's not a doctrine, it's heresy. (although, "mainstream" (mainline) christian denominations have many heretical churches these days)172.70.214.133 18:37, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
