I dont tell it to every fundy I meet, because I prefer to pick and choose my fights. This particular opinionated scenario of mine is a wild card I hold up my sleeve for the particularly diabolical fundies:
"I believe if, when I die, and I happen to see YOUR type of god standing before me..YOUR Jesus...YOUR Jehovah...standing in judgement over the masses, that I will immediately run up to that God and bid him to explain his lack of communication. Why so quiet? Why allow such violent and disturbed people to claim to speak for you? As soon as this God tries to answer, I will turn around and scream "DEATH TO THE TYRANT!!!" and bum rush this evil god with hopefully as many willing people at my back as possible. I will then pick your pathetic god up over my head and toss him into the very Hell he created to torture his own creation in for his sadistic pleasure...and I would let him stay in Hell for about 2 minutes. Maybe even less. I would reach my hand into that flame and pull Jehovah from it. Yes, I will show kindness and forgiveness. I will then allow those who are in the afterlife to choose what ever they wanted to do."
Hey..if they can make up bullshit and throw out wild claims suggesting that belief is all one need to justify them..then why can I not also toss out some bullshit unto the table as well?

If you did believe in God would you want Him to make you behave as a robot doing only what He tells you to do and giving you no freedom to make your own decisions...

To make one bend to the will of God would be evil, that's why you have freewill.

FNM Wrote:And why would god have to bend to any demands that humans make?
I did not say God would bend to the demands of humans, it would be human nature to demand things from God, it happens all the time. Someone said (an atheist on this forum) that when they prayed for something and did not get it they got upset, that is no different than demanding something from God. Christians do it all the time I'm sure.

FNM Wrote:WTF?
I know what the answer says, I do not understand why you gave that answer unless you did not understand what I stated. Because God is omniscient and omnipresent He knows the future, He knew when He created us, that is humanity, that we would choose to sin, that is disobey Him, there would be a price to pay for that sin, so instead of letting all of humanity choose the way of hell He gave His life to redeem those who would believe in what He has done.

How can there be any fucking debt? God's the one who created everything, he's all powerful. This makes absolutely no sense at all! So who's the price maker? Also, how did god pay off the so-called debt?
Makes no sense at all. Not one lick of sense.
Makes all the sense in the world to christians, God paid the debt by giving His life for our redemption, the debt that need to be paid would be the debt of sin. Righteousness is the standard by which the debt was set. Christ bore the sins of the whole of humanity, that's what killed the divine part of Christ the human side died from the treatment He received at the hands of the Romans, this is how the debt was paid. God being all powerful does not mean He will abuse that power, that would be against His nature. I'm sorry you can not understand this and as I said before I did not come to this forum to try and make anyone understand this, that would be against the rules. It's not my fault that this forum put up a barrier to protect nonbelievers.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
