Quote:Simply identifying all of the misconceptions he has about God through scripture shows he did not understand the God he so quickly misjudged.You judging the Biblical God to be "good" is a woeful misjudgement.
Quote:Everyone else seems to see a confused little man who died in rebellion of God.So you're confirming your God concept is a gigantic dickhead after all then? O_0
Quote:My point EXACTLY! It can NOT be about the biblical definations I am using. OTHERWISE THE PARADOX FAILS!!!Interesting 'mindset' you have towards paradoxes.
Resolve this then.
Quote:Who said anything about complete all encompassing benevolence?You just keep moving those goalposts don't you?
Quote:This is a general failure to read your bible. A large portion of the sentient being God created to exist in Heaven, decided sometime ago they did not want to live with God.And do you know why everyone starting hating god enough that they couldn't stand being near him? Oh wait, that's right, because the colossal bastard created everyone with no greater purpose in mind than to exist in -complete servitude and submission- to him.
Your god concept doesn't understand equality. Indeed, he's completely incompatible with, and diametrically opposed to, the concept.
Quote:Because (like all of you) Not everyone wants to spend an eternity in the presents of the God of the bible.You got that right. Who the fuck would want to be near such a cosmic cunt for a minute, let alone an eternity?
Quote:So where in all of creation can you seperate yourself from the"Omni-present" God of Creation? Answer: You can't. However In the Pit, The Void, The Darknesseternial seperation can be found.Congratulations. You couldn't resolve the Epicurean paradox and now you're on the verge of creating another paradox depending on your theology and "interpretation of scripture". You cannot still exist in Hell and remove yourself from an omnipresent being whom you assert Hell is apart from. That's a contradiction.
Hell isn't enough. To achieve liberation from such a being, one must simply cease to exist altogether, so the tyrant god has no more power over them, any more.
Quote:The problem here is you wish to be God yourself. You are not. Therefore you will be subject to His Expressed Will orEternial seperation.Do fuck off. Next minute you'll pull that ridiculous "You're just atheists because you want to sin! A-bloo-bloo-bloo!" statement out of your arse for us. That's not what he's saying at all with that thought experiment.
Quote:Nope. There is no sin in Heaven.No freedom? What a miserable bore-fest of a destiny. Even you don't deserve such a fate, no one does.
Quote:Provides Eteranl seperation for all who choose it/themselves, over Him. You provide your own eternal torture When you get a glimps of all you could have had, and yet foolishly choose yourself over God.1. How is it foolish if we're using our freewill correctly like we're supposed to and be masters of our own destiny?
2. Wouldn't it be actually foolish to abuse our divinely-given freewill and not make any choices but throw it back in God's face?
3. Why do you insist on spelling "eternal separation" incorrectly over and over again?
4. Why are you constantly fucking up simple quote tags?
