Miracles and Anti-supernaturalism

[Bad Writer]

Say that I am looking for a purple swan...

But you won't because there's nothing in the history of ever that should ever point you in that direction. Try again with a more appropriate analogy, if you can.

But only if he produces good things within you, right? It doesn't count if the spirit of god produces... say, the Westboro Baptist church?

We know the Spirit of God by its fruit.

So you agree with Esq on this one? Just say that and stop beating around the bush with your masturbatory words; you shouldn't need 50 lines of text to come to your conclusions here.

Now what about the Vessels of Wrath that God has created to shew his righteousness to men? I'm talking about men that are preordained for evil acts. They are preordained by your talking sky daddy, but they are unarguably evil and made on purpose. This is a fruit of god, so apparently he doesn't always produce good.

Another example is how he hardens people's hearts, such as Pharoah's when Moses is trying to explain to him why his people need to be let go. According to the story, Pharoah probably would have been content to release the Israelites after the first couple signs, but God really felt he needed to wreak some havoc in Egypt.

If God expels his own energy into the universe, how can he gain anything from feeding on it?

You tell us. Apparently he needs his creations to give back to him in the form of sacrifice and devotion. According to the Holy Babble, this is pleasing to the Lord. The smell of burning flesh was like catnip for god.

You are interested in self-preservation. You owe nobody nothing.

This still doesn't explain how a person can't have love if there is no god. Oh, right, you read it in a book so it must be true. I once read that the Force binds us all together. That also must be true.

One may see the effects of the wind, but not the wind. All the unanswered questions in the world come together in the shape of God, who answers every one with organized precision.

Observing the effects of wind is not proof of god. It's proof that there's wind. Try again.
