Quote:You guys are not addressing whether a a God in one million more places than you are at any moment, or who knows one million times as much as Einstein is worthy of worship. I'd be perfectly happy with him.Because you're already happy with the idea and you've invested some unspokens into it - you've also shown a clear lack of imagination in this regard. Add the qualifier "and wants you dead" and see how happy you are. Being super-powerful, super present, or super knowing would be impressive, in any permutation or individually - but not worthy of my worship (and depending on what this super-being used any of it's super-abilities for could be downright terrifying). There are human beings who are "super whatever" relative to myself....and you don;t see me down on my fucking knees (nor do I see you down on yours...so lets not pretend that any of this is what compels -either of us- to worship).
Quote:Neither will atheists answer whether they would serve Jesus if he came back and healed 94% of all the terminally ill people in the entire world. Or, if they are intelligent and brave enough to answer, the answer is no because he's not powerful enough, I assume. (They don't say)I never miss an oppurtunity to answer a question like this (maybe you just missed my answering it all those times). No, I wouldn't "serve jesus" if he came "came back blah blah blah" because firstly, I'm not a damned peasant - and secondly, I think that your little myth is a disgusting narrative of despotic scapegoating. I don;t care if the despot sends a bag of beans to all his people, I really don't. They do that shit all the time and they remain despots, their previous actions remain irreconcilable with my clear conscience.
Quote:Demanding God is either omnipowerful or he is not presents a false dichotomy. Billions of people would love to see the Jesus I described return to earth whether he met some vague "omnipotent" standard or not.Let me state this again, so there's no room for wonder. I don't actually care if you believe that your god is omnipotent or not. I think that either proposition is quaint, and filled with opportunity for amusement, but in the end, it has nothing to do with why I:
So it isn't me who doesn't get it. It's mindless unbelievers who don't think, don't know anything about logic, and see only in black and white, just like the "fundies" they criticize.
A: don't believe
and
B: wouldn't bow the knee if it were true either way.
Clear?
