Gary's Corner

[Gary Childress]

Studies show that exercise improves mood, lessens anxiety and depression.

But it's your life.

It's difficult to describe anhedonia to someone who isn't experiencing it. Such is life.

That's exactly my position.

Which one of the above? There are two.

Both. I don't think anyone has a way of knowing for sure that they know God since it's all ultimately speculation and it's possible that some might have their speculations accurate, that's possible and I don't know who they'd be.

I'm not clear on your position, Gary. It looks like you're saying "nobody knows," but then, how are you going to know that? You say it's possible...but how do you know that, either? The only part I think I understand clearly is your claim that you don't know.

Maybe you can clear all that up for me.

If God = the creator of all that is, how would you know that something is the creator of all that is. If it tells you it is, then is it telling the truth or is it deceiving you or mistaken. The only way to know for sure would be to witness the creator creating the universe. Since we are presumably not able to observe that, being logically impossible as well, we are always speculating that our beliefs are accurate or based on accurate testimony. If that's not true for you, then I assume you were there to witness the creator creating the universe. If not, then you are like me. All you could have is the testimony of something that tells us it is the creator of all that is.

If you had schizophrenia, you would understand. Severe mental illness is like no other disease. It breaks you. And you will never be whole again.
