Atheist arguments and the morality of God.
#64
RE: Atheist arguments and the morality of God.
I think you know quite well the meaning of omnibenevolent and it seems as if you are deliberately being obtuse. As a son of a pastor, I know full well that this notion is a foundation of faith for many christians. The anecdote you use does not persuade me since I believe it to be on unequal footing. You say on the one had that we can't compare human morals to god's but then make an anecdotal comparison. And it seems to me God does do this in that a serial killer can receive eternal life simply by truly believing and repenting. So for me it would be like going into court and simply saying "I am sorry" and then you go free. Bad analogy for me personally.


So it can be argued but you acknowledge it's failure as an argument? I am having trouble seeing a difference from the way you have described not seeing the avoidance and therefore do not see it as unsupported. I would agree there is a knee jerk reaction so I am happy to see you have thought it through...I do not agree that there is not much of an argument. By the way I do enjoy these conversations. I am new here and this is exactly why I joined. Thanks for thoughtful discussions even though we disagree.
