Epicurean Paradox

[genkaus]

I've already had this discussion several times in this thread. go back and address the points that have already been made.

this point has already been made as well.
I guess someone else had the foresight to make this point before you did. If you wish to talk about it then go back and address what has already been said.

oh wait, asked and answered. just like everything else you have ask.. or do you think you after 21 pages you are the first atheist to come up with your questions?

Clearly, you still don't get those points. So they bear repeating.

Again basic reading comprehension failure. Otherwise you would know this is exactly what I said, and you would understand how and why the contrast between "deities" and the comparison his/your comparison of them will not work.

I'm not interested in your excuses of how you failed basic comprehension. It doesn't matter if the points were raised before, you clearly didn't comprehend the then. So they are being raised again.

You have been proven to be a waister of my time, so you no longer have the right to ask that I personally tailor an in depth biblical responses to you. Especially when all of your questions have been asked and answered already. If you want to be apart of the conversation then go back and find what has already been discussed and address the points that have already been made.

If you show an honest effort I will consider taking you seriously again. Otherwise know I have identified you as a troll and will be treated accordingly.

Excuses upon excuses upon excuses. If you had actually answered those points and they'd stood upon their merits rather than being shot down again, you'd have pointed them out to me. Don't pretend to have the high ground here - all you are showing is that you have such glaring flaws that independent threads of discussion converge on the same points.

You can keep stomping your foot, throwing a hissy fit and running away all you like, but I'm not going anywhere. I am a part of this conversation, whether you like it or not. I'll keep pointing out your mistakes for everyone to see.

That is unless you or anyone else wants to honestly test God by the standards He has given us to test Him by.

Which is the underlining lesson of this whole thread. Why judge God by any other standard other than the one He has set before us. Like you said if you were God you would not be concerned with how other interpreted your religion. May I add that God because He has gone through such great lengths, He is also not concerned with meeting anyone on their terms. especially when He has paid such a high price to offer His own. Like wise if one is to make an honest go of what has been provided then He is not willing to let anyone go or ignore them. (parable of the lost sheep and the lost coin.)

This is what is fundamentally dishonest about your god. He wants to set the standard of judgment for himself to make sure that he passes it. Its no different than a criminal getting to decide what the law should be or a student getting to decide what the exam should ask. Someone with any concept of justice would have demanded that he himself be judged by objectively and rationally established standards, not asked to set the terms himself.

Further, saying that he should be judged by his standards because he went to great lengths to establish them, is like saying that a thief should be allowed to go on stealing as long as he goes to great lengths to make it legal. What he did was for his own advantage. We have no obligation to give any consideration to whatever standards he established, unless he can show them to be objective, rational and fair.
