One question for Christians

[Bad Writer]

How did you infer that I have an issue with authority? What makes god an authority?

Because of what you wrote.

I can't have an issue with authority if I don't see God as a real authority anyway. So what I wrote doesn't prove you right, bucko. You only saw in it what you wanted to see, and then spouted your bullshit like it was truth. Seems to be a trend with your type.

Since I'm in the military, it looks like your assertion that I'm a rebel becomes null and void.

Good for you.

I'm glad to see you have no retort to this, but I think you still fail to see that this proves that I do give credence to certain authorities. Otherwise I wouldn't have even let you in on the fact that I'm a military man.

And yes, good for me. Bad for you because it proved you wrong, ya mook.

Since gravity and the sun aren't assumed authorities, we can also discount those. Your argument is as vapid as your god.

If there is a God it can be assumed that "it" is an unassumed authority which is why "it" needed people to proclaim "it."

I'm not going to assume anything, and now you have to prove why your god HAS to be an authority as well as why people HAVE to proclaim "it" as such.

Even if god created us, what gives him the right to control us? Even though my parents birthed me, do I need to conform to their world views?

I agree God has no right to do anything but be what it is and I don't believe God or any conception that I am aware of forces anyone to do anything other than live and that is optional.

This is in contradiction to how you assume that if a god exists, then he has authority. You may think your god gives choice, but he clearly does not (since he is the god of the Paradox anyway). Remember when Jonah didn't want to preach to Ninevah? Didn't God swallow him up until he repented? Sounds like Jonah had no choice at that point. I guess he could've chosen to die, but that makes god cruel in that instance.

These things and more have left me very unconvinced that I need to respect this god.

The correct answers to these questions are self-evident, and if you don't see it that way, then I have no choice but to call you a fool.

I see then that you are a person of limited choices.

According to your god, choices are limited anyway, so I'm surprised you aren't considering your conclusion about me as a welcome sign.
