How could you know? Do you think you know because of those books humans wrote, where *they* claimed to know the nature of God?

I am incapable of understanding the true nature of God, as all men are.

Your making up things I didn't say. I never said I understood the true nature of God.

No one has the right to belittle my faith, just because they have none [/paraphrasing "Broadchurch", somewhat], and I am not belittling anyone's lack thereof.

I responded to a statement that it took an immature mind to conceive of God, as we are speaking of God. If one logically allows that statement to continue, it would follow that anyone who believes in God would therefore have to have an equally, or even more immature mind. Which would lead one to believe that the speaker of that statement obviously believes himself or herself to be of a more mature mind than that of the majority of people who believe in God, which, like it or not, is most of the people on Earth.

Where did I infer that I have an understanding of the true nature of God? Anyone with any knowledge of any religion (that involves God) knows that man cannot understand the true nature of God. If they could, they would know which religion is 'correct', and we would not have all these conflicting ideas.

We also wouldn't have arguments like this one.
