He’s in profile pretending to pour it in his mouth like a sloppy sleight-of-hand artist, but it’s very clearly spilling all over his shoulder down his pants into his socks.

If you call lakes of fire, wailing and gnashing of teeth, and eternal damnation to complete separation from The Light “respect,” then I totally get why you worship the dude. I guess he really did create you in his sadistic image. 😘
But by your own holy texts, it knew we would do that before the universe existed, much less the Garden of Eden. If it didn’t, then it’s not all-knowing, which means it’s not God. Either way, it’s not worthy of devotion or worship.
Legally? Yes. In the case of there being no evil until a god knowingly gave birth to its physical embodiment? Hell fucking yes. If we are God, so is Satan. Remember, “nothing—not one thing!—came into being without him.”- John 1:3
There’s no such thing as free will in a universe created by an all-powerful, all-knowing being who knows how many hairs are on your head. “In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.” The Bible says he knows our every thought before we think it (Psalm 139). “All who dwell on earth will worship (the beast), everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.” - Revelation 13:8. So your god knew who would and who wouldn’t be a Christian before it even created the universe. Some free will.
The Democratic vote is right thing to do Philadelphia, so do.
No, by Christian understanding, god made the universe and everything in it. That includes the human capacity for causing pain to others. God also decided our sexual characteristics should fully develop a decade before our mental and emotional capacity, not how I would have done it. It also includes childhood leukemia, SIDS, hydrocephalopathy, measles, polio, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis, etc, etc, etc. If god wasn’t a sadist, none of those things would exist. Either that or god didn’t create them because it doesn’t exist. These are the options available to you.
Stop thanking god for saving us from the evil it created, you sound like a chronically abused spouse defending their attacker. It’s Stockholm Syndrome of your Soul. And why do you keep ignoring 95% of my comments? Satan made evil but who made Satan?
“Correct or wrong” is really clunky, If only there were another word that means the opposite of correct…
He created children and child rape, how is he not?
Who made Satan? And why would God knowingly enter into a bargain over the souls he created with the embodiment of evil? Why does the most powerful being ever conceived need to prove anything to anyone? Much less someone he created.
Demons are just angels working in a different department at a remote worksite, they all answer to the same dude.
I’m taking that as tacit agreement that your god is an egomaniacal sadist but you don’t mind cuz it’s old, just fyi
Perpetuate - “make something continue indefinitely”
So we perpetuate it, but who created it? Who made us with the ability to perpetuate evil? Who decided what is and isn’t evil? Why do you only give god credit for the good stuff when you believe it made everything in the universe? You have to count the bad stuff too or it’s not really god.
Geemany, is that where the cricket got his name?
I think the Problem of Evil actually makes sense when you consider eternity and infinity. The infinity that God is and Eternity that Heaven is, earthly sufferings really will be seen to be nothing. You probably don’t worry about that exam anymore that you were studying for as a kid.
That’s moral relativism to a T. The evil perpetrated by God on humans via unnecessary pain, disease, and death is relatively moral given the vastness of eternity. Basically you’re saying it’s ok for a god to create little playthings to torture because it lives a long time. I disagree.
What false negative? If he can lift it then he didn’t create a stone he can’t lift. Can he make one plus one equal anything other than two?
If you listen to him talk about any subject, not just politics, it’s very clear his idea of the world hasn’t changed a single nanometer since he was prepubescent.
But why would that lead her to sue the park for saying it was a bear? Seems unrelated.
