Yahweh, the Devil, and Job

[John V]

In the following post you CLEARLY are trying to sell the fact that your god NEEDS pleasure by making the statement, "... and so would bring god greater pleasure."

Completely incorrect. I've just spent pages arguing that it wasn't a need, for crying out loud.

You can dance around it and back peddle all day, but this post is a sick reminder of how twisted you and your vile god can be. Now before you respond, please read your own post and do try avoiding hypocrisy.

On a side note:
Only a real sleaze-bag would put his own pleasure and glory above the suffering of others ... and you just admitted that you do this exact thing.
There has NEVER been an occasion where I have allowed someone to suffer just so I could get some kind of perverse pleasure from it. EVER!

Sure you do. You spend time and money on your own glory and pleasure, when it could have been devoted to reducing suffering in others. All but the neediest do. Before you argue that you don't take pleasure from the suffering itself and god did, note that god did not take pleasure from the suffering, as I've already explained.
