But for the sake of others who read this I ask. Of the ten evil things the god of the bible did to people in biblical times that I listed above. Of the things that happen to humans today which the Church tells us god either commits or permits, can there be any justification based on end results? So god set Adam up to sin just so he could make my neighbor a better person by giving him cancer? My friend’s husband lost his leg because god in his infinite wisdom and power knew that he could not teach him what he needed to know in a world where there is no diabetes.
Go figure. Please, go and fucking figure.
what is indefensible about what I laid out?
I used a modern and relevant analogy that describes the problem of sin very accurately, and placed in a senerio you can/should be able to relate to.
In that you see sin/Hell as a morality issue when God see and has labeled it as an infection. you want to pretend that good works is the cure when only the vaccine provided by atonement can cure this illness. you want to label God's actions as harsh or even evil, but when framed out in the proper way, we would act the same way.
So again, How is this indefensible? or are you just speaking to a stereotype you did not think a theist should be able to overcome and simply do not know how else to respond?
