You keep telling yourself that, kiddo. Anything's better than thinking for yourself!

I can think for myself...doesn't mean I can make a connection when there isn't a logical and necessary one to be made.

Regarding omnipotence...the fact that God is almighty doesn't imply that he couldn't allow Christianity to decline.

And the converse is also true: Just because you cannot see the logical connection doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it only means you don't see it.

Lol, even as he commands men to worship him under the pain of eternal punishment? The logical conclusion here, if we assume your god is.permitting this decline in his adoration, is that your god is either incoherent or actively evil.

Probably - but the eventual victor will be Islam, not atheism.

Young people of arab descent in europe are dumping islam for none quicker than young people of european descent are dumping your beloved christardy. That's why islam has peakied at 5%.

Sure. In that case, someone who is a good communicator and decent person explains thier point, rather than playing junior high guessing games.

Eternal punishment is judgment for sins, and there's no point in forcing people to worship you.

Your education is not my responsibility. Again, if I had any hope of earnest discussion with you I'd be more forthcoming. As matters stand, I'm more interested in seeing whether or not you are willing to question things about your beliefs. I highly doubt you are.

How odd, then, that he created Hell, and that the second commandment specifically forbids worshipping any other god before him -- and that the punishment for sinning is, as you agree, Hell. The only way to avoid said punishment? Ask forgiveness and worship him.

Try again.

Your whole religion is based on just such a connection.
