Looking for another God is like looking for an answer other than ‘4’ to the question ‘what does 2 + 2 equal?’ Sure there are many other answers to that math question but nobody has ever asked me “Well what about 5, or 9, or 3,286,428?” Many people, either to avoid accountability, or for a host of other reasons, try to make up other ‘gods,’ but when the true answer is known, one need not look any further.

Excuse me?
Sure there are many other answers to that math question
No, there aren't. You fail basic freaking math.
nobody has ever asked me “Well what about 5, or 9, or 3,286,428?”
That's obviously because they were properly educated.
The real "God" actually turned out to be Garfield, by the way. I'm glad he is, because I agree with his "eat-n-sleep" doctrine much more than the "supporting LGBT rights is disagreeing with God and homosexuals need to somehow repent of their innate orientation" doctrine.
Yeah, why look for another god, when there are already thousands of them invented by humans.
Looking for another god is more like looking for another answer than "butterflies" to the question "what does 2+2 equal?".
"God" raises more question than it answers, dearie. Where did that god of yours come from? Who created him? Why would he be more plausible than any of the others? What does god consist of? Why does God seem different depending on who's describing him?
Looking for any god is like looking for an answer to, "where does your lap go when you stand up?" The only difference is, with gods, there are plenty of frauds out there who are willing to build a carnival act out of any "answer" you allegedly find.
@ Muchacho 1994, re. 2+2: 8/2, 16/4, etc. depends on what exactly you are measuring and its unit size per "standard" fractional measure. I can buy 8 half-loaves of bread for example, because bread is sold that way. My half-ton pickup would take 8 trips to bring me 4 tons of dirt. All answers are equivalent, but not exactly equal except in the purest mathematical sense.

This is Sye ten. He's a presuppositionalist christian apologist.
Or as they're put in non technical parlance, a grade A ASSHOLE.
The difference is that with mathematics, if you accept the number system commonly used, it is impossible for two and two to not equal four. If you don't accept such a number system, the conversation on what they equal has no meaning in any case.
By contrast, with your religion, there are thousands of religions each claiming to have powerful, supernatural beings on speed dial. And in spite of all of this, none of their adherents have yet to produce a shred of magic.
Presuppositionalism is stupid in general, but especially coming from a faith that was founded on evangelism. If this Yahweh character truly existed and every single person had inherent knowledge of it's existence burned into their skull, including knowledge of what it wants and demands, then why the evangelism? Why didn't Columbus show up in the Americas and find out that the natives already had Christian churches set up, thanks to their innate knowledge of Yahweh?
This "to avoid accountability" bit is perhaps the most annoying claim apologists make about nonbelievers. If I don't have a soul, don't believe in an afterlife, and find the concept of "sin" utterly worthless, what accountability is there for me to avoid? It's like being at work and having some stranger come up and say "You're only at work to avoid washing my car."
2 + 2 = 11 in base three.
2 + 2 = 10 in base four.
But the better analogy would require we ask the question in binary.
That is to say, there's no answer, because your starting premise is flawed. There is no such number as 2, and no infallibility in Gospel truth.
one need not look any further
Ok listen up people, I AM GOD. Got it? And I say 2+9=4 and it´s true. Why is it true? Because I say so that´s why. So all of you just STFU.

Y'know what? I reckon Rarity's ancestor was a high priestess of Bastet:

...Opalescence, and all that jazz. That ancestor's name: Ra -riti.
Also, what perhaps inspired Akhenaten to pioneer the concept of Monotheism , with the 'Aten':

She is an immortal Alicorn after all...!
And 1+1=

I've seen Sye Ten Bruggencate losing in debates, not only can't he answer anything his main tactic is to claim he doesn't have to. Now that's fine if your a believer and that's all but to claim you're gonna debate then actual refuse that just childish bullshit.
And the level of lying in this scum is off the charts as well.
But what's worse in many posters here have been influenced by his style, they really never argue a point or answer anything they just assert bullshit as ignorantly as possible.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
