Satan Disproves Christianity

[John V]

So, awesome: just by fiat assertions with absolutely nothing backing them up.

Incorrect. It's completely obvious that it's not necessary to exercise power to prevent people from doing something that's never attempted in the first place. Your definition of oppression is based on exercise of power. Therefore, that certain things would have been sinful does not constitute oppression.

So, let me just pose another hypothetical: Adam and Eve were charged with being fruitful in the garden. What if one of their offspring wanted to commit a sin? Would he be able to?

We're not told specifically, but as like begets like, offspring would probably have been the same in this regard - the only sin they could commit would be eating from the tree.

Also, I'm beginning to realize that I could make the argument that, given that the fruit prohibition was against, in the end, gaining knowledge of good and evil, that satan would have equal justification to rebel whether that was the only rule or not. Just a thought.

OK, feel free to make it if you like.

Now, are you going to do something other than repeat yourself this time? Because I don't really have much desire to get into a "nuh-uh!" competition with you.

When you repeat previously refuted arguments, I repeat responses.
