Christianity; the World's Most Violently Persecuted Religion

[Sheldon]

It's impossible to imagine more autonomy or freedom of choice than an entity that was both omniscient and omnipotent.

I understand that you're not interested in studying theology at all. But since the time of Plato philosophers have answered this question in a way that you haven't thought of. 

It'd be refreshing if you actually posted one, that you presumably think addresses my point, rather making assumptions and name dropping. Of course were these innate contradictions addressed, this on it's own would not remotely evidence a deity, or that a deity is even possible. 

As for studying theology, well how much time have you spent studying dragon husbandry? Now I don't like to make assumptions about people, so my apologies if you're an expert, but if you knew fuck all about this, and someone claimed they'd bread dragons, but they were invisible and undetectable in any objective or empirical way, would you be rushing off to dedicate your life to the topic? 

If someone makes a claim, it is incumbent on them to epistemologically justify those claims. Now of course if I deny known facts through ignorance, as creationists are want to do for example, then that is a different matter. However if there is a broad consensus based on objective evidence that an omniscient and omnipotent deity is possible, by all means offer some citations, rather than vaguely and sententiously pointing to theological and philosophical study over millennia, as merely name dropping makes you some sort of expert.

FYI on its own...how long an idea or belief has existed, tells us no more about the validity or truth of it, than the number of people who hold a belief. 

To a theologian, the way you are imagining God is a blatant straw man.

1. I didn't imagine anything. 
2. I assigned no claim to theologians.
3. It's those that are both straw men.
4. The claim for omniscient and omnipotent deity, is one I have personally addressed from various apologists of various faiths. 
5. That my experiences in 4 isn't universal among theists and or deists is a given, nor did I remotely imply otherwise.

If you were to be serious about discussing religion someday you could learn about these things.

Fuck you, you arrogant self opinionated cock. 

Well done, you finally exhausted even my patience with your sententious 3rd rate name dropping, and endlessly irrational and facile responses. I actually felt a little sorry for you when I started here, as I thought people were being unnecessarily harsh, mea culpa maxima, my profound apologies to them for that assumption.
