Does this girl know god?

[Rakjavik]

http://dispatch.com/live/content/nat...F.html?sid=101 This girl was locked in a dank dark place for most of her life. She is called the Feral Girl. Even if you don't know about religion and god, the religious say that we are born with that knowledge. Do you think this girl knew?

I don't know, but it is a odd story. It seems that the boy knows God, being able to sacrifice his room and his toys and attention from his parents. What do you mean by her knowing God?

[ClassyElf]

God is an idea. Ideas must be learned. So no, I don't think she had any religious ideas... if that's what you're asking.

Believe it or not, you can do selfless acts without "knowing God". I realize that, but that kind of selflessness is rare in that young of a child and I like the idea of him "knowing God"

Ok, I accept that. MAybe he doesn't know God, maybe he does. But he deffinatly is a really good person. When you say "knows god", do you mean know of God? Or what?

[TimeStopper]

Did god come out of the sky and tell her about himself? In mentalies of course.

[nitsuJ]

No one knows God. If they did there wouldn't be 9 million different definitions and opinions of him.

[Carôusoul]

Ok, I accept that. MAybe he doesn't know God, maybe he does. But he deffinatly is a really good person. When you say "knows god", do you mean know of God? Or what? I think in the sense you mean you mean having a deep connection with God. The problem here is that there is no reason to think that he in this sense knows father christmas which led him to do the selfless deed, or knows buddha. Theres no justification for us to think any of them, so we should logically take the most obvious conclusion, and the most supported one: It's just a nice boy.

Does this girl know god? Is there anything in the article that suggests she does? If you didn't get the answer out of reading the story (which should be a pretty straightforward answer: yes or no) then I doubt anyone else here did. She can't even express herself very clearly, how would anyone know about what she thought of anything?

Fixed. Actually during puberty for males...

The actual question this thread poses is "Can you be this good without knowledge of a god?". All religious people, please listen. Yes, you can be good without knowledge of a god.

The Noodly Appendage of his lord the Flying Spagetti monster even inspire faith in kids locked up in closed rooms. Thus, yes, he did knoweth the Pastafarianic lord.

EDIT: You know that picture would be far more funny if it didn't say the obvious in it. Like something completely unobvious would be good.

I know God. He works at my dry cleaners. Short guy, he's nice enough. Pays his bills, lives alone.

Hehe. Someone will just replace to pope anyway.

Please! Who does those comics? I love them but I can never find a main website for them all! Help a brother out please! Oh yeah, that chick doesn't know god.

www.legorobotcomics.com/ Always check image properties! No she doesn't know. I had a normal-ish childhood and I still don't know god. I doubt she does.
