Evidence for God being "a superior being" ?

It's OK You beautiful bloom.....

Beautiful? Thank you, my flower is blushing! It's a photo of a flower in the Allen Garden greenhouse in Toronto some years ago. I think it's some sort of Brunfelsia, and out of those, I think it's one of the species often given the common name 'Yesterday Today & Tomorrow'. It was fragrant and made me all happy and stuff.

He doesn't red his 'Good Book' obliviously!!

Obliviously might be exactly how he's reading it.

@SN-Actually it does say just that Matthew 25:40-41 (King James Version)40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
It's actually quite clear that those who live a charitable, nurturing and loving compassionate life will be seated on his right and will inherit the kingdom, those that live selfishly shall "go away into everlasting punishment".

Even in this context you can read easily that it's a banishment from his presence, and from Jesus' teachings it's obviously not preferred that we live this way.

Yeah, absence PLUS EVERLASTING FIRE!!!!!!! Who cares if absence goes along with it? The eternal torture doesn't somehow go away, if even your version of the biblegod story is to be believed. So what if he prepared it for the bad angels. Don't they run the place or something? Anyways, no one is saying the bad angels are not said to be there too. What the bible DOES say, is that humans get sent there eternally, after they die, if god doesn't like what the humans did/thought on earth enough.

As far as the .666 - I didn't know you were a conspiracy theorist... there's a club here on AF for that.

I'm not one. I just like to see whether any xtians are weird about that number. I saw a youtube the other day that mentioned 2/3 (.666) of the angels remaining, which made me laugh. I have always wondered why more 666 fearers don't also fear the fraction, 2/3rds. Maybe it's because fundie schools are not that big on real learning or something.

I can see why you think that a collection of deterministic molecules that form me rationalizes. I might say the same thing about the intellectualizing of atheists, if I thought it were true. I'm comfortable acknowledging that a lot of atheists really don't have any underlying daddy issues, or were all raped by priests when younger. I also acknowledge that it's obvious some do, and that's their only deterministic motivations. I allow that some people can actually think for themselves and come to their own conclusion rationally, logically and intellectually.

What on earth are you going on about with 'daddy issues' and 'raped by priests' and 'deterministic motivations' stuff? You've lost me there, and even rereading that paragraph I can't figure out what you are talking about. However, it did remind me of this very funny video on youtube (I think I'm becoming a youtube spammer). I'll put it in hiding for off-topicness.

That was a very macabre video and and I chuckled a little until the end. That last paragraph, I'll rephrase.
You're saying that a majority of Christians are rationalizing their God concept, correct? You're also saying that the underlying cause is absolutely unfounded on anything percieved, in any way, and thus everything that follows are just Christians wanting to believe and thus fabricating a belief around that, correct? If they're both correct I'm agreeing that some do. I'm also pointing out that the same intellectualization could be made by me stating "Tons of atheists just have daddy or childhood issues and hate God, that's why they try so hard to ignore/deny theism." I don't happen to believe that it's the case of a majority, but some for sure do simply hate blindly. Just as some theists have faith blindly. I allow that some people can actually think for themselves and come to their own conclusion rationally, logically and intellectually from direct experiences on both sides of the coin.
