Sure I can, you’re trying to make valid points assuming He does not exist, so I am allowed to assume that He does, we’ll play by the same set of rules.
Quote:Nope. It's an appeal to solipsism and nothing else. You're telling me that if I refuse to believe that images my mind generates are anything but mental glitches, I can't believe anything my senses tell me. If that really is true, then I may not even be sitting here typing this post.
No, I am telling you that if God didn’t exist you wouldn’t be able to trust your senses.
Quote: The flaw in your argument is that, with special physiological exceptions (and discounting solipsism), we all experience sensory input in mostly the same way.
How do you know this without using your senses? You’re assuming your senses are reliable in order to prove your senses are reliable?
Quote: You derive your 'truth' about God from a source nobody in their right mind should ever trust as anything more than a literary artifact from a simpler time, when people made up wild and crazy explanations for phenomena they did not understand.
How do you know if someone is in their “right” mind or not?
Quote:Why would God create something and then hold it in such low regard as to suggest that the only thing stopping him from abusing it is that he feels too gracious to do so? It reflects poorly on his own craftsmanship.His might and grace both glorify Him, and that’s the purpose behind creation, why did you ever have the hubris to think it was all about you?

Scripture spread so quickly geographically that it makes it possible to obtain the original reading through textual comparisons.
Quote: God can know everything about everyone and still be evil.
How are you defining evil?

It’s not too bad, but we have better translations now based off of earlier manuscripts.
