Is God Altruistic? Is God Happy?

[Rogue]

If you take into context the post I was replying to, I am saying that if you do not take the buy-bull literally the only other way is soul searching (theist talk). Soul-searching leads to SPAG.

I do not believe in spirits or woo woo of any kind. I have been taught to meet people where they are, so I may speak some theist talk, but I am not a theist at all. I used to be SBNR (spiritual but not religious) then I came to my senses, I am full-blooded atheist.

I hope that clarifies things for you.

Cool. Every thing but SPAG?

I am trying to say that SPAG is a result from not taking the buy-bull literally. I was SPAGing when I became atheist. I no longer SPAG.

Best post ever, as it prooves everything I had to say! In that if you read those passages it show God to be giving, just look at how mat 7 starts:
7 “Continue to ask, and God will give to you. Continue to search, and you will find. Continue to knock, and the door will open for you. 8 Yes, whoever continues to ask will receive. Whoever continues to look will find. And whoever continues to knock will have the door opened for them.

9 “Do any of you have a son? If he asked for bread, would you give him a rock? 10 Or if he asked for a fish, would you give him a snake? Of course not! 11 You people are so bad, but you still know how to give good things to your children. So surely your heavenly Father will give good things to those who ask him.

How much more giving does God need to be to make you douche bags happy?

But God makes the requirement that he be asked.  If a requirement is involved, God's behaviour is not altruistic.

Yelp, and many times you ask you do NOT receive. Sometimes the answer is NO. NO I will not save your child from dying. I won't help you find a job, but your car keys are in the kitchen.
