God commands child sacrifice (not Isaac story)

[Darkstar]

God has given you a life. This life He has given you was purposed for you to make a choice about where you wish to spend eternity.

Err...no. Do you know how reproduction works? Let's say, just for the sake of argument, that we create two artificial life forms, let them reproduce for millenia and then come to them and tell them that we've given them all life and therefore own them. Ethical?

---

I see no life given. How does an immortal being who gets to come back from the grave at any time and float into paradise give his life???
Only a mortal can make a true sacrifice of his life. Not some wine making, water walking, dead raising, temporarily earth bound deity.

We do not completely understand what Christ has given up in order for His sacerfice to have been sufficeint for all man kind.

---

Or...(I didn't make this)

---

---

o please, you and GC have made it VERY clear that we've made the wrong choice.

And everyone here has informed me of what they think of my choice. The difference being I do not badger belittle and mock your choice.

---

Fair enough...I think. I wouldn't know for sure, :new here: (about a week and a half)

---

See, you make patronizing remarks like that and then wonder why we make the remarks we do.

You are reading too much into what was written. I was trying to communicate that if you choose to seperate yourself from God He will allow you to do so. You do not have to villify God or 'break up' with Him. If you want to go then just go. or rather simply do not return home.

---

But we have never been with god in the first place. We can't leave if he doesn't show up first.

---

If your god is so fucking "ok" with us not wanting to be with him, than why is he casting us all into a place he made for making that choice.

I think you have it backwards. Hell is the absents of Creation. All that God created is what you have turned your back on. God didn't 'create' Hell. Hell is the Darkness in which Creation was call out from. It is the oppsite of Creation and the furthest one can get from God.

---

And you can claim this on what grounds? You seem pretty certain that we know nothing of god as a species. I've been told that god made hell for satan. How do we know who is right, when both claims are mere speculation?

---

You just refuse to see the complete lack of logic in your rationalizing of your god. Which brings me to the question, WHY would you want to "be with god."

I love God because He first loved me!

---

That explains it. He didn't love me first.

---

What's so special about your god that makes you want to spend any time with him whatsoever. He DOES NOT LOVE you Drich, he has always loved only himself, and has proven it ever since he was invented.

That statement is going to be pretty hard to prove to me especially in leu of all that He has done for me.

---

What has he done for you? I doubt anything. Your confirmation bias made you think it was god, but I'm sure anything you claim god gave you could have happened without him.
