A God That Makes Sense?

Would you enter someone's house knowing you are unwelcome and uninvited?

The creator of the universe shows respect for your sovereignty and you don't recognize the courtesy?

Demanding? First you complain that he's too hard to find then you bitch about 'demands'. Isn't it obvious that EVERYTHING is on a voluntary basis with God? And is loving your wife or gf a sacrifice?

I don't recall reading that part. I thought that was a consequence of natural forces and God's 'hands off' approach that he has apparently taken.

OK. Well anyone who had respect for others wouldn't. But... Let me ask you another question... Do you want your children to love you purely out of obligation, or because they want to?

What sort of sovereignty does one have in the face of the putative creator's "divine plan"? Thanks for bringing up that critical fault in xtian apologetics. Wink

Yes. Perfectly voluntary. Except that if you don't kow-tow to the rules, you get to spend an eternity in agonizing suffering. Some "voluntary" choice there.

As my iron clad evidence of your sovereignty, I present Mr. FBM

You apparently got even less far than Frank in your priestly ambitions. Take your own advice and read the book.

Lol fbm! You really have no clue. Anyone can read a story and interpret it however they wish. That doesn't make their version the truth. Remember... Every lie starts with just a fraction of the truth.

BTW... Nice attempt at dodging the question... So... You gonna answer or keep dodging?

Not dodging. Refusing to follow a red herring. Where's your evidence that your Bronze Age-mythological god even exists? Evidence. It works. Show us some.

When someone's convinced they're right reason flies out of the window.

All in good time my friend. All in good time.

When someone's convinced they're right reason flies out of the window. Squeakybro's evidence is the 2,000 "revelations" that cause him to vomit scripture on A2K.

Empty rhetoric. Nothing but evasion. Someone holds a gun to your head and says, "Say you love me or I'll blow your brains out." That person is robbing you of your sovereignty.

Well, that explains...nothing.

It's all about appearing enigmatic, there is evidence you're just not ready/enlightened/smart enough to understand it.

It's a great default position to take, with or without emoticons.
