I'd think it'd be easier to prove a claim that God speaks at all. I've not heard him verifiably. And I was his slave for a long, long time.

That's odd. 'God' has spoken to me in my head all my life - but I've always known it was just me.

Can you offer some means to confirm the quoted quote is true and factual?

I can't see that it bothered him at all, but it's a time - wasting question. So many posters (on past forums) have said that they used to follow Christianity (which is what we can interpret 'slave' to mean) that there is no reason to question that being the case here, or to demand proof of it.

Exactly. But I was bewildered by the statement of "...confirm the quoted quote is true and factual." I don't recall me ever quoting a quote or anything other than maybe a quote from someone else on here, which is per forum decorum, and not an actual agreement or proof of anything past 'so-in-so said'.
Perhaps they were confused?

I though he meant what you said - that you were God's slave (a follower of Christianity) for some time and He never spoke to you. But if he meant something else, he can tell us.

But wait! How can a creator build something from nothing? Every creator needs resources with which to create something.

Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.

Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.

There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.
