If Atheism is so "right on" then....

Funny that none of them will answer the original question....

Why? Cause they have no answers... what a shock..

It's because athiests don't have the answers. Some don't even pretend to, but then some arrogantly assume they do. I've always found it really funny. You claim to have absolutely no experience with the divine and try to lecture people who have? its like someone who doesnt know calculus saying it's just mumbo jumbo and that the mathmatician is lying about being able to know anything from it. I mean logically who should we listen to? The person who claims no experience, or the person who has experience?

How illogical is that? God is not portayed as selfish, scared, stupid, impotant, little wimp.

Well it isn't an original idea, but God is portrayed as vengeful, demanding, judgemental, often cruel, wishing death upon his subjects, inspiring wars, being wishy washy and impatient.

His portrayed lust for blood sacrifice is also noteworthy.

That is the biblical God.

[loosecannon]

He said "Man created God in his own image". Not the reverse. Actually man has created innumerable gods over time, some in his image, some ridiculous ones like a man with the head of an elephant.

Thanks nuc, you are a rare voice of reason on this board

[loosecannon]

You lost me there. Islam is fake. God is REAL.

Islam follows the same god that christians do, it relies on several same holy books and has it's roots in the same ideologies.

Christianity and Islam are brothers.

That is because man created God in his own image.

Here's the good news.....

There most definitely is a God.

Now here's the bad news for those who cry out to God in times of trouble (or when they want something).....

God doesn't micromanage the creation. When you're faced with a life-threatening situation, or you're about to lose your job, or your marriage, or your stock portfolio, you're on your own.

So suck it up and take responsibility

Any claim to having more experience with God than somebody else is just ignorance and arrogance.

This is the most remedial theme in human history.

My God is bigger than your God.

My God real, your God not real.

Suit yourself but it marks the entrance into rational thought to be able to escape those silly traps.

No.

[manu1959]

No.

your nongod says "Suit yourself but it marks the entrance into rational thought to be able to escape those silly traps."

God doesn't micromanage the creation.

Really? And how'd you arrive at that conclusion?

Well, I didn't read it in the Bible, that's for sure. That conclusion is based on a reading of history, personal experience, and it's also based on several lunches I've had with God.

By the way, God is a woman.....an pleasant middle-aged woman who wears business suits, likes good food and wine and the odd martini, and thinks Pat Robertson is a jackass.

I.e. you pulled it outta your ass... okay.. just making sure...

Well, hold on there, baba-looey.....

If you disagree with me, why don't you go ahead and tell us why you think God micromanages the creation?

And if your response is a quote from the Bible about, "Consider the lilies of the field......."

You lose.

No that is not what I said, that is what YOU said.

Not at all - just making sure (like most arguements you post) - that you have no way of actually backing your claims...
