I know you find it difficult to understand how the things in the Bible could happen because you refuse to accept the Supernatural and you don't want to know God. Humility is hard (I know from experience). To say that you are not the ultimate authority over your own life is difficult. In some ways I see that it is easier to just wish sin away the problem is that you will have to pay for your actions in the end. It is easier to live in denial of the truth and not have to face the facts, but that kind of life always comes crashing down. God does not want that for you. He doesn't need to justify Himself there is no one who has authority over Him. He doesn't need to save anyone He is in the right. There is nothing in this universe He needs. You do need to be justified because you refuse to recognize your sin against a holy and perfect God. Your rejection of the truth will not save you and in God's mercy He is giving you an opportunity to know Him, the God of all creation. To be made right through His grace. He paid the way to make you right and holds out His hand so that you can experience something truly amazing. The God of the universe wants you to know Him. This isn't magic this is amazing grace! You know that this universe is amazing how about knowing the one who made it!
I think for every post where you straw-man my or someone else's world view, I'm just gonna reduce my whole argument to "stop straw-manning people's world view, you fuck." It's reached that stage of irritating. You need to stop fucking doing this.
We are not just "atoms bumping into each other," and neither Rob nor I has ever said that. Yes, we're made of atoms, but those atoms are clustered into a being that can think, feel, and act. Things exist on levels of complexity above the atomic level, hence the existence of molecules, compounds, and eventually complex beings. You are straw-manning us. Stop straw-manning people's world view, you fuck.
So what are you according to your world view and what makes you have more value than a tree?
