Do you realize that you just used the same non sequitur you were only recently criticizing as a bad argument when it came from atheists about your own god?
You've concluded, above, that because the christian god does bad and or irrational things, it doesn't exist.
Do you realize that you immediately moved from that into the very next argument you recently criticized when it came from atheists about your own god?
You've concluded that there's something incompatible between hell and unconditional benevolence. Like you know everything, or something, including that hell can't be for their own good or of their own choosing.
What strategies, do you think...kloro, help when dealing with logical fallacies? Can you remember a time you employed a logical fallacy, someone pointed it out, and that correction stuck?
As for the god of islam, it can call itself anything it wants. It can call itself merciful and I can call myself a knock out blonde with a chest to shame jessica rabbit. A person can take a look at what this god is purported to have done and decide...just as they might in simply glancing my way...that we've taken liberties in our descriptions of ourselves. The issue in moral disagreement is not in whether a god calls itself a thing, or whether you call it a thing, but in whether the thing described actually meets the moral standard of the objection. If I say I think god is evil because it does x y and z - and you say..sure, it does x y z ..but it's merciful...then I'll simply say so what. Many evil people have shown mercy.
