My views on objective morality

[Tiberius]

Is Tibs screwing with me? Is this a test?

No, I'm just playing devil's advocate and arguing the Christian position (or at least how I see it). It's fun and good practice for debating to argue a position that you disagree with once in a while.

This God he describes is feeble indeed and nothing like the ones theists generally present. If he was this crap (God) I'd have no problem admitting he is hugely limited and maybe can only manage this bollock of a universe.

I don't see it that way. Like I said before, being omnipotent means you have the ability to do everything; it doesn't mean you *have* to do everything a certain way; there's nothing that prevents omnipotent beings from having free will (in fact it's a requirement).

Could God create a sandwich the size of Neptune that was sentient? Sure. Doesn't mean he'll do that.
