Maybe your opinions are worthless but my opinion of the Christian god is most certainly understanding of him.
If there is a Christian god, he is an immoral being and a malignant narcissist who feels the need to punish innocent people.

Seen hundreds of lives changed for the better. Addiction cured, violence abated, families restored. Hardened gangsters praising Jesus. For supernatural miracles? Water to wine, dead to life stuff? Haven't personally seen any of those.Pastafarian » 17 Sep 2022, 11:05 am » wrote: ↑ And if you lived in India, you’d be praising Ganesh.
The thing about faith is it isn’t at all reliable.
Small miracles or random acts of chance?
Name one thing you’ve witnessed that was supposedly a miracle?

So, I can’t question Christianity’s claims bcuz I’m afraid?
Thats retarded. You’ve received one too many blows to your head.
I question all the gods humanity has ever conjured up.
Not much different between Muslim fundamentalists and American Christian fundamentalists except our Constitution keeps their theocratic nature at bay.

The Bible was written to be an "Instruction Manual" for how we should live our lives.
I think there are some Gross Assumptions in that book..but HIV / MONKEYPOX lends credence to biblical warnings about LIVING YOUR LIFE AS A SILLY SAVAGE.

If God were omniscient and knew everything, then he would have KNOWN that Lucifer would rebel, and would have done a better job of creating him. Why give angels free will, anyway? Their function is to be faithful servants. So, make them like border collies, why not?Skans » 16 Sep 2022, 1:06 pm » wrote: ↑ God can. Because, God can do anything. But, I doubt God will.
And, as for your soliciting God to do such a profane thing to the body with which God has endowed your soul, the only one who is listening is God's fallen angel, Lucifer who had long ago been delegated the task of dealing with evil souls. You have marked yourself for future punishment and sorrow.
God deceives Adam and Eve in the Bible. He creates them and then quickly tricks them into failing. God knew the serpent would trick them, mere children, and the **** allowed it.Xavier_Onassis » 19 Sep 2022, 2:02 pm » wrote: ↑ If God were omniscient and knew everything, then he would have KNOWN that Lucifer would rebel, and would have done a better job of creating him.

If God were omnipotent and could DO anything would have simply removed Lucifer/Satan.
The "God" character in the Bible does not behave according to the attributes given him.
God did not give angels free will. He gave man free will. As for "why" God does what he does, you would have to ask him those questions. I do not presume to know God's will.Xavier_Onassis » 19 Sep 2022, 2:02 pm » wrote: ↑ If God were omniscient and knew everything, then he would have KNOWN that Lucifer would rebel, and would have done a better job of creating him.

In the Bible, God has no mother.
And therefore could not actually BE a "****".
Why flood the entire planet to dispose of the sinful human race?
All he needed was a VIRUS... and a vaccine for Noah and his family.
It would have cut really short Noah's trip to Australia and having to deal with unruly kangaroos, Tasmanian Devils, angry emus and venomous platypuses.
Only if it is skin color related.

Every social identity is a willing participant to never accepting their actual time as ancestrally here. Honesty has been declared insubordination, treason, blasphemy against organized idealisms demanding total compliance to power of suggesting life is more than mutually evolving as reproductively displaced now.FOS » 19 Sep 2022, 10:28 pm » wrote: ↑ This is extreme and stupid fedora teir ****.
You are not a student of theology.
Believe it or not,, Christianity is not refuted by some stoned 14 year old asking obvious questions.
No,, the Bible itself does not even ever suggest that God is omnipotent.. indeed it clearly suggests otherwise.
