Question for Theists: The Proble with Thanking God
#3
RE: Question for Theists: The Proble with Thanking God
In a situation like that—okay lets hypothesize that the bread isn't poison. I'd eat it but I would not thank him. Why would I reduce myself to the level of the dog a person like that would want to see me act like by groveling before him?

I find it interesting that you compare god to a Nazi in a concentration camp. Is this also the best answer the Christians can give, a hypothetical dichotomy that doesn't consider all possible parameters?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
