Don't you think that a belief is a behavior? If so, then the part of your quote that I bolded, makes no sense and has no relevancy. Furthermore, you go on to ask questions that have nothing to do, as you say, with the OP's question of who created the creator.
You can't argue that my questioning someone's behaviors aren't on topic when you did the same thing. I"ll put my responses to your questions below for reference so you get it.
1. Making the assumption that god is perfect doesn't answer the "who created the creator question".
2. This still doesn't answer the question about who created the creator.
3, 4 and 5 have nothing to do with the "who created the creator" question.
It would appear that you may feel that my questions aren't justified enough to be asked because they deal with behaviors of christians, which, not surprisingly, you don't want to address. But you seem to feel that YOUR questions carry more merit, when in reality, your questions don't address the OP either.
Let that marinate.
Hm? I guess I don't follow. Your first post to me seemed to go on a rant about Christians shoving their beliefs down people's throats. I didn't really see how that fit in with me answering the OP's question in regards to whether or not the "who created God argument" was convincing to a theist.
Well, it wasn't a rant. The first part, if anyone has been paying attention to social media memes and discussions on forums pertaining to religion and beliefs have merit to them, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it. The latter half, well, those were four statements, the first two of which have actual facts backing them up. The other two are pause for discussion. But I guess discussion on a discussion board is out of the question?
As with many threads in these forums, getting slightly off topic (or even derailing all together) is par for the course.
And I didn't address it before because I was getting ready for court, but your first reply to me, you answered no. I'm curious as to what that was for given I didn't directly ask a question.
