Biblical Inerrancy - mandatory to be Christian?

[Darkstar]

It is a serious thing to make fun of God. You are convincing others that religious authority is illegitimate, and you are not using reason to do it, you are mocking religion. I can assure you that God will not forget this. I saw every event of my life flash before my eyes, the judgement is real.

Why not criticize religion instead of mocking it?

How would I know? I don't do it very often, and when I do it isn't with the intent of making the church seem illegitimate (well, unless you count pointing out the cover ups of pedophile priests as blasphemy...).

Why aim your advocacy at the young and those incapable of argumentation?

I thought that was what religions did...

Why do you need to rely on mocking and non rational persuasion techniques if, in fact, your belief system is intellectually tenable (which it isn't).

I don't. And yours isn't...not that saying that will get either of us anywhere.

Sin =/= bad things. It only means things your god is said to not approve of. You yourself said that evil was simply whatever god didn't like.
This is the very definition of subjective morality, and for which no evidence beyond opinion has been applied.

This is the fruit of atheists mocking religion. They think that even if God existed, they wouldn't have any responsibility to listen to God or value God's perceptions of the life that God created and fixed each thing with a specific end and purpose and values at the moment God created it. It is because atheists have no respect and are often simply proud, haughty people.

Keep telling yourself that...

God has authority because God is God and God created everything. Can't you just accept that if God existed, you would be obligated to obey HaShem?

He didn't create me. Why would you think that he did? Also, if a human succeeded in creating life from scratch, would it be moral to allow the human to create more (sentient, even) beings to use them as slaves?

Do you think there should be any limits on alcohol consumption? Do you think there should be a legal drinking age? Do you think alcohol should be distinguished from other activities in any way?

I'm not sure how this is relevant, but in order:

1. There are already physical limits on it (if you drink enough you will die of alcohol poisoning), but that aside you should still keep it under control, but hey, if you aren't driving or otherwise endangering other people, it's your hangover to have.

2. Most likely. What the age is that someone can first drink responsibly at is another story (and there will always be people who drink way to much at any age)

3. Uh...yeah, shouldn't everything be distinguishable? Or is that not what you meant? I think insomuch as the risks should be noted, it should be distinguished.
