This is my view of what Christians believe about their god, them and their book:
1. An all powerful being that can literally go anything.
Quote:2. If he does something, it is automatically good and righteous (genocide, murder, rape etc..)Aside from the spin (e.g. what you call murder I call capital punishment) I agree. I’ve never found Euthyphro’s dilemma to be much of a dilemma.
Quote:3. He only allows those who follow him without question to experience bliss and there rest get eternal punishment.I disagree on this one. God’s followers can question him.
Quote:4. We are mere property which he can do anything to without punishment.This follows from 1. Who can punish an all-powerful being? Surprised your pearl abilities didn’t notice that.
Quote:5. We were all born evil because of two peoples fuck up 6000 years ago.I agree with that one. I may disagree with some of your conclusions from this though.
Quote:6. Would be murdering left right and center if it was not for their book and God's word.I disagree with this one.
Quote:7. Would kill on command if it came from their God.I doubt I would.
Quote:8. Believe (not all) that the earth is and the universe was 6000 years old.As we know that some genealogies in the Bible skip some generations, I don’t subscribe to an age that precise, but I’d say it’s thousands, not millions or billions.
Quote:9. Believe that primitive savages have more knowledge about the world then we do now.More knowledge? No. I don’t look down on them the way many atheists do, though. We’re standing on their shoulders. I believe they were probably smarter on average than we are.
