I'm so sorry that you felt my intentionally glib remarks were "incorrect and stupid." Personally, I could not care less what sort of euphemisms or workarounds theists utilize to avoid somehow offending their alleged-to-exist deity or deities. However, you ought to note that I made no attempt...
Again, I think you've missed something rather substantial here. And I'm still waiting for you to cite any of my proposed <<<ahem>>> "scriptures" verbatim from a legitimate Bible.
Have a nice day.
Is there any scriptural justification for an alleged general doctrine in Christian monotheism that prohibits writing the word "God" out in full? I'm not aware that God's actual name even is "God." And if we're obliged to leave letters out of His titles ... then (in addition to "G*d") allow me...
1.) I think you might have missed a crucial characteristic of those "verses" anyway.
2.) Please feel free to cite any one of them verbatim from an actual Bible. That done, perhaps we might proceed.
I'll provide you with an opportunity to review my entire OP and reach a better, more informed...
The proposition is entirely contingent upon reason being offered up. If no reason is voiced, then it follows that no reason can be heard.
Who would Jesus mock?
How can you simultaneously believe in free will and His Ineffable Plan®? If God knows all and has a plan and can see the end of...
Yet some theists maintain that the end of history is already known to their god. Please square that with free will. Thanks.
Yet theists tend to claim that the unfolding of history goes according to their god's plan, no?
That's strictly your baggage. Looking back at my past decisions, I...
Could you explain how we might differentiate between a world where we had the ability to do whatever we want to do because free will is compatible with omniscience and a world where we are free to do whatever we want to do because there is no God?
Incompatibilism = not compatible. Wow...
It is alleged that God created everything, therefore God is allowed to act badly? Is that what you're saying?
Am I to take that assertion literally, or is it an example of poetical language?
Wow. How long did it take for him to figure that out? Why couldn't he have simply forgiven Adam...
1.) The flood? As in "Noah's Flood?" The Bible doesn't indicate that anyone aside from Noah and his family were spared, correct?
2.) The Bible also indicates that the entire world was flooded, so even any proposed Israelites that managed to escape the 6,000-odd miles from Jerusalem to the...
Reminds me of an old joke:
Q. - You know why they called Bo Jackson "Bo?"
A. - No. I don't.
Q. - Because his actual name was too long for him to remember.
A. - Really? What was his real name?
Q. - Bob.
(((rimshot)))
But seriously ... why is it OK it leave the "o" out of God? Why is that...
OK. Let's have it!
I hope that you can see a pattern emerging here?
Allow me to opine that what I "need" to hear certainly needs to be substantiated. Have a great day.
Sorry. Your chosen metaphor breaks down when scrutinized:
1.) Does "standard" Christian theology maintain that God appointed Satan to behave as he did?
If so, doesn't it follow that Satan was just doing God's bidding? Doesn't that make God the ultimate source of evil (and hence the...
Are you suggesting that Mormons are denying the sanctification of matrimony to homosexuals out of spite?

Citations from a proposed New Revised Polygamist's Bible*:
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother(s), and shall cleave unto his wives: and they shall all be (more or...
You're arguing that aiding and abetting a serial murderer is something that "good guys" engage in? How utterly reprehensible.
Then he isn't a serial killer ... he's simply a hit man on the police payroll.
This isn't even really interesting as a thought experiment. It seems like someone...
