Drich Wrote:again it took 7 pairs of all clean animals to see 8 people through to the flood. How many more for the 1000's if not 10's of thousands of babies? again i ask which one of the 8 survivors of the flood would care for them?
Again, I quite clearly said: God is all powerful, God could have easily provided for the babies,
You really have a problem with reading, don't you?
drich Wrote:as it is God did care for them when He called them home. Life is not always the greatest mercy. that is unles you are one of those who worships life over God. then anything less than the preceived 100 years you are entitled to, is considered to be a sin.
Yeah, but let them be born first because they need to die horribly in a flood before bringing them home, otherwise God wouldn't get his kicks. I say again, your God is an asshole.

[quote='drich Wrote:No i want you to stop saying foolish things. Think about what you say before making a persumptous statement. Ask a question in place of making a foolish assertion.
Yet you haven't once proven that I said anything foolish, nor shown where I presumed anything. But I guess when your whole thought process is constructed of unproven assertions, you must start to see foolishness in everything.
Quote:The mass slaughter of babies in indefensible.
Drich Wrote:It's not.
Okay, let me rephrase that: The mass slaughter of babies is indefensible, to any right thinking person. You sir, do not qualify.
Quote: You cannot cite the bible as proof of anything; considering I have googled every one of your arguments and read countless different defenses for God's actions in the bible.
drich Wrote:Yet you FOOLISHLY cite the bible to condemn God for flooding the world and killing babies when everything you believe says there wasn't a flood to begin with. (See, here is another example of a foolishly thought out statement)
This coming from the guy who is quite happy to pull the "We're discussing in the context of the bible" card, whenever it works in his favour. You're a sneaky little man, aren't you?
Quote:Your argument rests on your interpretation being right and all the rest being wrong.
drich Wrote:and anotherfor all 'interpertations' hinge on this fact to one degree or another.
Oh, but isn't this the infallible word of God? So let me paint it in black and white for you. If your interpretation is wrong and the others are right, you're fucked and going to hell with the rest of us. I'll get the drinks in, I've set up a tab ahead of time.
Quote: I guess they must all wrong and you're right, though, otherwise you would be so confident to laugh in my face. It must be great to be so informed. Anyway, I'm done with you, your beliefs actually make me feel sick and you are an abhorrent excuse for a human being.

The only display of pride here is you, and your insistence that all your interpretations of scriptures are correct and all others are incorrect. You haven't pushed anything other than a collection of assertions which only serve to justify the abhorrent actions of the Christian God.
They're not even original either. You didn't come by them through a relationship with the holy spirit, they are taught. So you sit there, feeling proud that you have been given insider knowledge. While all the time you are using selective memory to hide away the reading, lectures and preaching it took for you to come to the conclusions that you have. You are a clone, and like all clones you don't even know it. Your indoctrination does not allow you to access that part of your ego, lest you have a complete mental break down.
Call me foolish if you wish, but you're the one who has been fooled.
