The point is that if it's a theory, it's potentially falsifiable. How do we test to do that?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

That's the problem. it ain't a theory.
It's only a theory when someone becomes a Professor Of Godditit
Oh crap theologians only exist.
But yeah their kind of theories really is they "I have a theory" kind of theory.

Indeed hammy the mental acrobatics to defend gods Omni's is staggering. Rather then simply admit it makes no sense.And abandon it.
He knows everything accept the future because it does not exist yet. But he knows it anyway. Because the past and future don't exist for god until they do.

You have a wicked keen humor about you, sir!
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

I'll see your Catholic and raise you a Southern Baptist. I re-raise you all-in with a Mormon. I think it would be wise if you folded at this point.

I wasn't happy with the response, so I edited it.

My bold.
Bold is the part he added
I think the only way to defeat Mormonism in Religious-Poker is if you come up with the woo equivalent of a royal flush: i.e. you get five lizard clones of David Icke.
Wikipedia Wrote:David Vaughan Icke (/aɪk/; born 29 April 1952) is an English writer and public speaker.
A former footballer and sports broadcaster, Icke has made his name since the 1990s as a professional conspiracy theorist, calling himself a "full time investigator into who and what is really controlling the world." He is the author of over 20 books and numerous DVDs, and has lectured in over 25 countries, speaking for up to 10 hours to audiences that cut across the political spectrum.
Icke was a BBC television sports presenter and spokesman for the Green Party, when a psychic told him, in 1990, that he had been placed on Earth for a purpose and would begin to receive messages from the spirit world. The following year he announced that he was a "Son of the Godhead", and that the world would soon be devastated by tidal waves and earthquakes[/b], a prediction he repeated on the BBC's primetime show Wogan. The show changed his life, turning him from a respected household name into someone who was laughed at whenever he appeared in public.
Over the next seven years—in The Robots' Rebellion (1994), And the Truth Shall Set You Free (1995), The Biggest Secret (1999), and Children of the Matrix (2001)—he developed his worldview of New Age conspiracism. His endorsement of the anti-Semitic forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion in The Robots' Rebellion, combined with Holocaust denial in And the Truth Shall Set You Free, led his publisher to refuse to publish his books, which were self-published thereafter. At the heart of his theories lies the idea that many prominent figures belong to the Babylonian Brotherhood, a group of shapeshifting reptilian humanoids who are propelling humanity toward a global fascist state, or New World Order. The reptilians use the rings of Saturn and the Moon, all reptilian constructs, to broadcast our "five-sense prison": an "artificial sense of self and the world" that humans perceive as reality.
My bold.
He makes even the most fundie Mormons seem completely rational via the power of relative comparison alone.
Hell, his batshit-craziness exceeds Mormon and Scientology levels combined.

If David Icke saves the world anything like he used to save for Hereford, we're all fucked.

That, my friend, shows some very niche knowledge. I just remember David Icke as the guy on South today that went mad.

You guys forgot the most powerful hand of all. The face palm. Aka: Scientology.
