--- Quote ---You'd be sacrificing a rough dozen of sheep, to get your answers and Jahwe will tell you your mistake is believing in Zeus, while Zeus will tell you your mistake lies in not bringing the right sacrifice.

And honestly, if you've got that many gods talking to you about such things, perhaps you need your medication adjusted.

1. I've never had any Gods talk to me.
2. I probably wouldn't listen if they did.
3. I'm not on medication.

Actually hearing a voice in your head is more common then we would think, most people who hear this voice think it's their own thoughts but sometimes it really is a something else then your thoughts, last I read in a medical journal it was 6% of all humans have this form of Schizofrenia, and it only becomes a problem for less then a quarter of these people.

jtheory:
I think he means that it's not just your normal stream of conscious thoughts that you will recognize as your own "voice".
Unless he means something like this.
(Yes, that odd voice in your head that no one else can hear MIGHT be actively beamed there by the FBI...).

holy shit, do wantdowantdowantdowant
also fuck the ontological argument, if nobody's addressed this (or the rest) already. it's just a huge non sequiter. fuck the first cause argument, it's also a huge non sequiter. fuck personal experience, it's just the chemicals in your brain. fuck the small but non-zero chance that everything i've ever experienced isn't real: while it's impossible to prove incorrect due to the nature of the thing, it's also completely irrelevant to everything but semantics.
in conclusion, inasmuch as i can possibly know something, i am absolutely certain that there is no god. i am also absolutely certain that the sun will rise tomorrow. there's also a small but non-zero chance that both certainties are completely fucking wrong. that doesn't mean that i'm not absolutely certain, it just means that i intellectually acknowledge that i could be wrong. should new arguments arise, and/or should new evidence appear, i would happily look at said items and perhaps revise my position.
anyway, to make the thread potentially on topic again, dora's logic in the page that led to the op is kinda shitty. dora's basically telling penelope that she should try and change herself drastically (assuming that the anti-mystical thing is completely fundamental to her, this will either be explored in the future or not) to try and make the relationship with wil work, and that just doesn't sit right with me. does anyone else see this, or am i overreacting?
