I don’t deny God. I just no longer see the Abrahamic ones as true. I haven’t found one yet without flaws, such as the copious amount of rose colored glasses being used.@Kelly of the Phoenix
Hello and sorry for the late reply.
“However, for someone who can see and understand the concept of daylight, if they say it is night, then they can’t be trusted.”
Ironically I can somewhat say the same thing about those that deny existence having an intelligent source. (Some can be trusted though).
The reality of the situation is that this physical form is nothing but atoms and that death is something certain.
The reality of the situation is that we didn’t choose anything, rather the cards were just given to us.
The reality of the situation is that we are in a state of submission to the system this intelligent source brought. A state where rebelling can lead to our demise. (ie no sleeping, no eating, etc)
The reality of the situation is that arrogant human beings throughout history have been under the ground longer than they’ve been up denying God.
The reality of the situation is that we are logical and intelligent beings that seek patterns and we can come to the rational and sound conviction that existence has an intelligent source.
When we buy anything complicated, it is expected that a manual is provided with it. It would be an even better service if technicians can come from time to time and update the program.
Since the intelligent human being can do this and expects this, why not the One that made the human being and everything they know and everything they don’t know?
“to let God say if He is offended”
Offended? What makes you think such a thing is even possible? Secondly, I specifically said that Muslims find it offensive, therefore they’re the ones offended. Not the slightest thing happens to God. No one can add or lower His glorious Majesty. Any theist that thinks otherwise lacks knowledge about their Maker.
“We must always be mindful that aggressors can claim self defense.”
I don’t see how this is relevant honestly.
“Henotheism is at best what He is describing.”
Not according to 7:22-24. He says that only those that surrender to God alone go to God after death, while those that worship other deities go to other places. He also says that it is only God that arranges the benefits, which is clear that these other deities don’t exist. So it can’t be Henotheism as you are claiming.
I don’t care if theists are offended. Let God be insulted and mind your own business.
I don’t care what you think Krishna is claiming. The entire texts have Krishna meeting with other Gods. Claims have to be supported. It’s like when Jesus is called sinless and yet sins often in the story. It’s like saying Judaism was always monotheistic when even scripture edited by monotheists fail to remove all traces of polytheism.
