Abusive Theology 101

[freedomfromforum]

True I thought he actually did it. But there is a difference between Man's relationship with God and Man's relation to other members of mankind. That is why the analogy fails. God acts as a Father. He instructs and judges according to His superior position. On the other hand we are called to treat each other as brothers and sisters, equal in the eyes of God.

Since I am responsible for creating this thread I will answer ChadWooters one last time. It seems that everyone but you understands what my parable represents. You clearly believe that your (god), who is supposedly the 'author' of morality, is above (pun intended) his (its) own laws concerning the same. Here is one last 'parable' (example). In this example I will once again model your (god).

"I am god! I demand that you do as I say, and not as I do. Thus sayeth me!"

Chad, you needn't respond. I realize that your 'loving father' claim of (god) is the only loophole theists can jump through to justify their own (un-confessed) doubts about the validity of his (its) existence.

I'd offer to pray that your eyes would be opened so you could see the truth, but that would be a senseless waste of time since no one is listening.

DOG bless you, and have a puppy day!

You used your resources to gain a poor man's gratitude. Since he had nothing of physical value to offer you in return, he tried to share with you the most precious thing he had, his faith. You may think his faith is bullshit. Fine. You could have listened politely. Which is what you would have done if you wanted to respect his dignity as a human being. Instead, you abused your position of power and demonstrated to him that he was just another opportunity for some rich atheist fuck like you to "make his point."

Now you want people on an internet forum to congratulate you for giving some helpless man an object lesson in theology. You are below contemptible.

This one is my favorite!
