Look at me! I'm a Christian!

Look at me! I'm a christian! I believe in god! I believe in the Bible! I have built up a wall in front of me that tells people I am good. It hides Who I Really Am. So that I can go through life and pretend I am somebody that I am not.

I prefer proving that my own belief is correct.

@LetsDance yes I would like to hear you prove your own belief is correct

@James25 If she had the most ironclad proof in the history of the world, I'm sure you would dismiss it.

@daydeeo
the word "god" is a noun, not a title. The word "God" is a proper noun, that is, a name. Lord God Almighty might be considered a title.

If you have the time and interest, you might get a different opinion if you read this article =

“God” Is Not a Name
"God is not a name—it's a title. In fact, the God of the Bible introduces himself by a specific name in one of the most famous stories in the Bible, the exodus event, when he works through Moses and Aaron to deliver Israel from slavery in Egypt.Mar 14, 2022"

@daydeeo if the word God is used as a proper noun then it is capitalized. If it is a common noun it is not. A common noun refers to a general category of people places or things while a proper noun refers to a specific named individual within that category. So it depends on its reference as a common or proper noun. In my example of its use I refer to god as one of many gods within a category. Therefore it is not capitalized.

But I actually reference god within a different understanding. Not as an entity specific within its name or among many. Is it a reference to an understanding of life. God is simply an individuals understanding of life among many understandings of life. Therefore it is a common noun that is not capitalized.

@James25 I thought an uderstanding of life is called a philosophy. In which God or gods may, or may not, exist.
