If you're trying to dismiss Mortimer this is not a good approach. Only someone with little to no knowledge of scripture would agree with you.
The problem with the essay topic and the unit is that the unit is about moral ethics but when it comes to discussing morals from religion they don't want us to prove or disprove any given religion. We're just expected to talk about the idea of God in a more pure form so to speak. So no real religion applies to the ideas of God... but in saying that we were allowed to choose someone's work and criticise it. So Mortimer implies alot like obviously saying God must be the Christian God. But yeah I don't think they're going to go into detail by saying scripture would disprove my argument because that's not the type of philosophy unit I'm doing.
Thanks for your input though!
If you are going to criticize Mortimer's idea of God shouldn't you have to respect or at least employ the definition of God. If so the scriptures are not needed to undo your argument. Just sayin'.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
