Objective Morality?

[lucent]

Actually, personal testimony is evidence. So again, it must be accepted or rejected on the basis of his testimony.

A God who creates a Universe and lets his creatures suffer and perish with no intervention or plan is immoral. In such a Universe, there is no justice, and evil may reign freely. There is no hope there, and since the key piece of knowledge and meaning is missing, ie God, they all labor under false and delusional pretenses.

Considering God personally intervened so that anyone who calls upon His Sons name could be saved and have eternal life, I am interested to know how He is in any sense a dead beat dad.

The grounds of his testimony alone...lol, no, no. Let's see some evidence.

Any god lacking the claimed attributes of your own, and actively not engaging in the same sorts of activities is a wonderful god indeed. See, amusingly a dead beat dad is exactly how I would describe the god of the babble. The deists obviously makes no claim to fatherhood, nor does it command the respect and love of a father. You entered your own god into that arena. No sense projecting your beliefs into areas where they don't belong.

We're all human and imperfect, just like you. Many of us react badly to the extreme hostility and ridicule heaped on to us by atheists..it is the human thing to do, but not the Godly thing obviously. I notice myself getting snarky at times, and I apologize for that. It's something I have to work on.

If there were a god he would have a better class of followers.
