(November 8, 2013 at 9:26 pm)Faith No More Wrote: No, when I say that it's hard for me to swallow that a deity would be concerned with such desires, it isn't due to personal credulity, just like my inability to swallow someone's claim that they were golfing on Mars with Elvis Presley. The human need for praise is due our emotional needs and desire to be accepted by our peers. It's the human attempt to find a place and a purpose in this universe. A god has no such needs and limitations. That is why it is hard to believe.A desire isn't necessarily based on a need. This is a common faulty argument. That god does something or wants something doesn't necessarily mean that ne needs it.
