I meant you were using personal attacks in place of an argument(ad hominem). Rather than try to answer my questions, you simply accused me of being unwilling to accept any answers that would come from the bible, regardless.Oh, that? I stand by it. If the Bible took the attributes of god and put them in a list called "attributes of a perfect god," you wouldn't say "Oh, crap, the god of the bible is perfect!" You're being disingenuous.
Quote:Besides, I find being told what I will and will not accept a hundred times more insulting than being called an "asshole."Funny that you didn't deny that my assessment was correct.
Quote:Not should. Would. Communication is a two-way street, which I think is an outrageously simple concept for an omniscient deity to understand.Ah, the god-would-necessarily-do-what-I-think-he-would-do argument. Haven't heard that one in a few hours.
This is the part where I say, "you're a fucking idiot" and throw my hands in the air in frustration. I think you're more interested in irrelevant, petty bickering and bitching than fruitful discussion. It's like talking to an angry thritieen year-old that just wants to disagree.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
