free will paradox

[Esquilax]

We're not talking existence of God though... we're talking about what the Bible says.

Except that the idea that the bible has any sort of cache as a dispensary of wisdom is predicated on it having the divine author it claims it does.

I know you could go on, and atheists always will. that doesn't mean that bull shit smells any less like bull shit. I'll let missluckie74 come up with her reasoning for her warped ideas of what the bible says, as I presume she has her own mind.

Ah, I see: rather than actually addressing my arguments, you'd rather just point out the fact that I had a lot of them. Very astute. Doesn't go far in terms of advancing your position, but at least it's an accurate observation. When I'm looking for examples of biblical immorality, my cup overfloweth.

While I'll agree that the ideas Luckie found in her religious experiences were warped, let's not for a moment pretend we don't know where they came from; modern christianity cultivates this idea that the things you don't like in the bible, the uncomfortable things, the politically incorrect ones, are just metaphor. Not meant literally. But other things are meant in a strict literal sense. And all of this from a book that's inerrant and perfect and the source of all morality everywhere.

Don't blame Luckie for the ideas she found, blame the religion that turned itself into a choose-your-own-adventure book rather than admit that parts of it were wrong.
