Quote:I agree entirely, 'morality' is a crap standard of man's own self-righteousness... and God isn't good enough to meet it.Why? Because man changes it to suit his own righteousness, and if God were to chase down and meet man's righteousness everytime it change then He would not be worthy of worship. In that senerio Man would be the supreme beings and God the servant.
Quote:Suffer all you want then, for your God. Leave me, and my loved ones, out of it.Suffering comes to us all like it or not, when our number is called we can suffer with or without God. I choose to suffer for purpose and mean. However if you wish to deprive you and your family of that, then that desision is on you.
Quote:I would save a kid if I had the capacity and proximity to do it. I would never choose not to. I suspect most would not.What you and your group fails to understand is that this world and all that happens in it is in our charge in our care. We are responsiable for this realm. Meaning you are in the role of first responder not God. if you see a need and do nothing then all your 'judgement' applies to you. It like if you were to have a child and neglect him because Child services mission statement includes the protection of Children. Child services is not meant to be the primary source of care for all children. Child services holds neglegent parents accountable for their actions.
God allegedly has the ability to do this (and everything else) but frequently, willfully, refuses to do it.
Quote:Of course, I don't...And you don't see the self righteous hyprocrisy in that? "God do as I say not as I do!"
But, unlike Yahweh, I don't presume to be perfect.

Since you Christians utterly concede that there is no compelling evidence to believe god exists and that we need to have 'faith' then why should we have faith in your God and not one of the competing religions that use the same arguments?
The above quote is a Straw man arguement.
We do not conceed that "there is no compelling evidence to believe God exists." We simply point out that it is not our job to supply you with that evidence. Our only task is to point people in the direction to find said evidence on their own when asked.
