How about you just do a quick summary then
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

He is thus bound by something he didn't create?

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

If God told you to do it. God raped "Mary" if we are to believe your silly-assed stories. Neither in Luke 1 or Matty 1 is there any indication of "choice." Much like a rapist - "god" just sends his homeboys out to tell her what is going to happen. I'm sure you are fine with the whole stupid idea. If you ask me, god should be doing life in the state pen.  (June 4, 2013 at 5:33 pm)fr0d0 Wrote: You mistake the bible as gods dictates and not what it is, a record of Gods influence. Some laws we're cultural and need to be understood in context. In 2000 years plus people may look at some things we think perfectly acceptable and think them equally horrific. Would we be evil people or products of our surroundings? Why, you might almost think that "God's" idea of right and wrong was invented by Hebrew priests to reflect the opinions of Hebrew priests or something.

if you ignore what you quoted Ryan, perhaps.

It's part of his nature to necessarily be so. Just follow your thinking through and see the impossibility.

And what's logical about asking someone to sacrifice an animal or even his own son?
