How are we doing?
So, do you think that if someone gives life, he is also morally justified to take it?

Well, when a tsunami hits and carries off a few thousand people, i do never even feel the slightest urge to blame God.
i don't either. Obviously.
So, do you think that whomever gives life is morally justfied to take it?
I am not sure whether it was a yes or a no.

Very well then, carry on.While you say it's a metaphor others are selling it as truth---reality.
.
Now if anyone sees the flood as a success please point it out.

I'll spell god however I please, thank you, and if you can't get past your silly smugness so be it. And truth be told, I don't need you for anything.I am a Christian and respect Christianity and to show this, please next time spell God with a capital if you need me to discuss further matters.
How about if I just try to climb the Empire State Building? Trouble is, I would need a reason, and a very good one to do so. And as yet I have yet to see one.Please in future read the Holy Bible with Faith
"Questioning Monster"? Gee, I must have really hit a sore spot with my question. That's one for me.and not to look at grey areas that makes you a Questioning Monster.
Boy, you certainly like to play captain of the ship don't you.by the way keep the questions for yourself until you have a clearer understanding of the bible.
A tsunami is an act of God in any courtroom, Since it does not trouble my soul in the least I believe God who gives life is morally justified to take life. But nobody else "gives life" in the sense that God gives life, therefore nobody else is justified to take life except God or as God would want them to, Such as for punishment for murder.
Because people go around trying to convince others that their god, the god of Abraham, knows what he's doing and should be trusted, worshiped and is worthy of their hard earned coin every Sunday. And I'm just pointing out the other side of the story, that their god is capable of failure, and that perhaps a hard look at him may save them the time, effort, and money. If nothing else, think of it as a public service. But what's refreshing is to see that the Christians here don't consider his flood to be a success either. It helps renew my faith in their impartiality when it comes to the obvious.
.
Well, at least we agree on capital punishement.
Do you think life is a gift?

God doesn't charge us anything. I haven't had to send a tax return to God yet.
Good for you.
May your good fortune extend to the rest of the human race . . .
Ooops!
Another car bomb.
Oh well. You seem to be doing well.
So, it is a gift, right? Straight answer please.

Yes, one that transcends time. If you have lived at any certain point in time it was a gift that can never be taken away.
I believe you have made my point.Yes. It was not my car.

So it makes no difference that the status quo returned after the flood. Kind of short sighted don't you think.
.
I think it may have reinforced morality for a period of time, although not permanently.Now if anyone sees the flood as a success please point it out.
I believe you have made my point.
Our world is full of those who think only of themselves.
If I give you a gift, and take it back the next day, was that a gift to start with?
