Would suggest that before YOU make some suggestions,
you find an actual error in what's being said to you. I seem
to recall some very well-known Biblical advice having to
do with motes and beams - perhaps you remember that one
as well?

> There is no flaw in the truth.

Obviously. However, what YOU have said with respect
to this subject is in error.

A nice attempt at re-direction, but the subject at hand was
not the existence of God or the nature of God - it was the
flaw in the argument you were employing. My "disbelief" is
again an assumption on your part, not supported by any statement
made here so far. You continue to be so arrogant as to assume
that disagreement with Andrew Chung simply MUST equate
to "disbelief in God." This is so obviously silly that it deserves
no further discussion.

> Actually, just as a decision tree is not a wager nor is it an argument.

Then I would suggest you stop employing it as such, and
learn to construct an argument which is actually in support of
your position. After all, YOU are the one who used this so-called
"decision tree" as an argument, since you claimed that those who
did not believe the conclusion YOU stated for it were not being
"logical." You, sir, are now being evasive and duplicitous.

> Actually, there is zero logical weight in that which is false.

Correct; you continue to demonstrate that by repeating a line
of reasoning repeatedly shown to be invalid.

But only if such identification can be shown to be true. You
have failed to do so.

Nor, for that matter, is "1 infinitely greater than 0." "By definition,"
one is precisely one greater than zero, just as two is one greater
than one. We apparently can add basic mathematics to the list
of subjects you fail to grasp.

That claim is clearly also in error; the central figures of essentially
ALL religionshave claimed to either "be the truth" or "have the
truth" or other phrases which are equivalent for the purpose of
this discussion. Are you ignorant of this, or simply making this
up as you go along?

One can only wish that you would begin to do so at some point.

However, YOU are not the perfect possessor of the truth.

Now, PLEASE get out of rec.food.cooking.
