    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    There is also: God is not omnipotent. Really though, omnipotence definitely implies omniscience. If God is not aware of how to do anything and everything then it can't be omnipotent. Omniscience is a necessary component of omnipotence. It is as you say, though. If we assume God is omniscient...

    Might makes Right

    Not really, no. One or zero. More than one almighty would make a confusing universe. There is no reason to assume there is one, though.

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    You are literally telling me something about God without being a messenger right now. It isn't a catch 22, it's a blatant contradiction. You do not even believe it yourself hence you are telling me about God yourself. Except the part that you just told me. You are apparently capable of telling...

    Might makes Right

    Right is an illusion. Might determines what will happen regardless. If you think you are right and refuse to be mighty, prepare for things to be wrong. Ask the French aristocracy what happened when the people realised they were the mighty. Heads rolled, right or wrong. Ask the mouthpiece that...

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    Side note: Ask you atheist friend if omnipotent God knows how to do anything and everything in addition to being able to do anything and everything. Omnipotent implies omniscient IMHO.

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    No what I meant was that knowing that God uses Messengers at all is something 'about God' that I would have to know before learning about God from a Messenger. The same goes for God not talking to regular people. I just know that, right? Except that I don't. I can take your word for it. But...

    Religious Fanatic

    I think she's a minor meaning its not fair to draw either distinction. Her parents on the other hand... I would not describe them as fanatical or rational either. If they had refused to treat her at all, I would say fanatical. But they sought treatment and got it. They disagreed with a...

    If the Christian God is Omnipotent

    Perhaps God was tired of being omnipotent and made us to remove that quality from itself.

    If god wasnt

    Shockingly enough, debate no longer resembles arguing. Who knew? Anyway, you asked me why I would follow a perfectly righteous supreme being that I had direct knowledge of... Because there could be no better thing to do. In what weird universe would anyone choose differently? You are...

    Homeless Jesus

    Applying the teachings of Jesus to your individual life is subjective. No one else has your life. This is the same for many similar ideals. Even with a full conscious intention to act as Jesus would you will still make mistakes, right? This is because it isn't always clear what the best course...

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    Except that part about speaking to Messengers or ordinary humans. I'm meant to know that intuitively?

    Homeless Jesus

    I just wonder how many tax-payer dollars will be wasted replacing broken night-sticks, expended tasers and bullets. You can't trick the cops into thinking there's a vagrant to abuse without a cost, people. Come on.

    If god wasnt

    And for some reason you think I don't qualify? You may have forgotten the part where I answered your question earlier. You even asked a follow-up. Did that not happen? Are we still confused about my answer? Go ahead and re-read if you like. That is absolutely NOT why it doesn't make sense. It...

    If god wasnt

    Yes, but that's a ridiculous analogy since you didn't impart anything like that in your OP or any subsequent responses. You are not presenting the choice between two different colors, you are presenting a choice between two completely identical hypothetical beings. You are asking someone to...

    If god wasnt

    Because it would be the perfect thing to follow. You're asking me to make a poker hand out of 52 cards and then wondering why I went with the Royal Flush? Come on... How could it possibly matter? How would I even know which one I chose? The one on the left? Come on... I'm not really buying...

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    I have experienced many times when an event happened that I could swear I dreamed the exact scenario. All senses present. No lies. Its happened dozens of times since I was very young. Here is why I don't believe I've ever dreamed of the future. A) 100% of the time I experience the above it is...

    If god wasnt

    Well, I won't waste your time pointing out the logical errors you couldn't have prepared for but this question to me looks a lot like this: "If you could build the exact God you wanted, would you follow it?" The answer is: Of course I would.

    Subjective Proof

    Luckily, its far easier to determine the highly objective measure 'at sea level' than it is to determine the objective temperature of water anywhere. Oh wait...
