In fact, I will venture to say that no analogy can be logically applied to God. By theist's own definition God exists outside of time and space, therefore we cannot compare anything in this world to him, nor can we compare him to anything which is bound by the laws of this world. Ya know...because he isn't real.
Can you prove this? You know...prove a negative?

How does parting the Red Sea violate anyone's free will? Or leaving an image on the Shroud of Turin?
These are signs of God's action, but people still reject them. No one is forced to believe because of miracles.
Lol, what? That was snark, Athrock. My point is, you don't (logically) get to make 101 supernatural assertions about God in one breath, and then in the same breath try to compare him to a humanoid, physical world scenario, and expect the analogy to hold.
The Red Sea? (Or "sea of reeds" depending on your interpretation, ofc.) Okay...I didn't realize I was talking to a literalist here...

Do you know what I have learned from this thread? That theists are capable of rationalizing ANYTHING when it comes to God. No matter how ridiculous.
