I suggested that, for all you know, a person's relationship with this god manifests as a conscience - that is, the idea that the "personal relationship" is why you have a conscience. 2. Also, do you doubt that there are people out there who have rejected their conscience, who now lack a conscience as demonstrated by the acts they have perpetrated? I'm talking of the mass murderers, etc. It is easy enough, in other words, to come up with a plausible explanation. That doesn't make it right, but it invalidates your argument. You might not have noticed, but I haven't once capitalised "God" except when in quotes. There's good reason for this. Think about it. |
1. Same deal. Just change "find God" to "find a relationship with God".
2. Many people who do lack a conscience do so because of biological/psychological factors out of their control. Many are born with verified psychological disorders. This would mean that some people cannot find God due to factors out of their control, which goes back to the point that certain people don't have fair and reasonable opportunities to have a relationship God.
