RE: If you believe in the God of the Bible, why try to prove it logically?

Quote:As a loving person, you need love reciprocated.
You don't quite understand love if you think that reciprocation is required.
Quote:Sure he has to suffer the consequences if he does bad stuff just like any other dog. He might even die rejecting love. Such is your love for him though, you arrange it so your dog has as long as it takes to work out that you really do love him. And that all he can do is love you back.
That is twisted. I really wouldn't say that it's done out of love, unless god's version of love is different from human's version of love.
You give the dog free will to choose as he likes only to make him suffer until he chooses the one thing you approve of. And if he deviates, back to suffering.
It's like saying you're all for freedom but if someone exercises their freedom, no no no, you belong in hell.
The only difference between not having the freedom to choose and having the "freedom" your god grants is the suffering. In the first option there is none, in the second there's infinite suffering. This is supposing that in the first scenario people wouldn't even realize what they're missing.
