Atheism is unreasonable

[Thumpalumpacus]

Your difference of opinion is with your own holy book, and the theologians who've explicated your religion.

My "own holy book" is the word of the living God.

Then you'd better get with the program and stop contradicting the god you claim to worship. I don't think he's going to be happy with you.

Yet you're defending the contrary view. When you arrive at a contradiction, one of your premises is flawed.

Give me a contradiction.

I already have. It's your eternal soul at stake, or so you claim, so you can go back and reread my point about Matthew and perfection at your own leisure.

I.E., give your money to the robber "of your own free will".

See, there is that "opinion" thing again, Parker. Because the 2 billion Christians in this world, we don't feel like we are being robbed. I am sorry you feel that way.

Stockholm Syndrome.

Just because you don't "feel" your free will has been taken by force, that doesn't mean that it hasn't. Any time obeisance is extracted by force, free will has been abrogated; and that's not an opinion; that's definitional.

I.E., refuse to surrender your money, and get murdered.

The "money" you are referring to is actually the robber's money.

So you say. That's your opinion ... offered here after you've surrendered your money.

You really haven't thought about what I've written here.

I thought about it..just ain't buying it.

You don't have any money to do so.

So, you'd find the robber not guilty ... got it.

God only wants what is his..and if you take something from him, he will take something from you.

And given his alleged omnipotence, that pretty much negates free will, now doesn't it?

Tell me again about your so-called morality.

Jesus Christ.

lol, the turn the other cheek guy ... or the bringing-a-sword guy? The love-thy-neighbor guy, or the hate-your-family guy?

Wait, this mishmash of yours explains why you're unable to see moral issues like the theft of free will clearly.

Rather than preaching, answer the point, or admit your incompetence to do so.

I don't know what answer I can give you that will be satisfactory to you...so it all comes down to whether or not Christianity is right for you...you know what it is, you know what it is about...and you freely reject it. Point blank, period.

You know about Jesus, you know about Christian theology...and you reject it..and now you are on here asking questions as if that is the one question keeping you from being a Christian.

No, I'm interrogating you because you, in your arrogance, think to lecture others about your take on the truth, one which in your own god's words you are advised to be humble and meek -- you who take on the name "Your_Majesty", you who refuse to consider any interpretation but your own.

I'm interrogating you here because your hypocrisy deserves it.

As for what answer I would accept, that would be evidence.

The bottom line is this...according to Christian theology, Jesus died on the cross for your sins, etc. Either accept it, or reject it. You've rejected it, no one forced you to reject it...and not only have you rejected it, but you've argued against it...sounds like you are free to do what the hell you want to do...so don't come crying to me talking about how you don't have free will.

I'm not "crying" to you, as anyone with half-a-brain can see. I'm making a point about a weakness in your reason, which is that compelling another's belief under the threat of eternal torment is not free will. I reject your god, as I reject all others, as you reject all others ... wait for it ... freely.

You see, I refuse to live in fear.

Omnibenevolence does not mean omnimerciful...I don't know what part of that you aren't understanding...but taking that in to account will help clean up some of that mess you have going on over there.

And for about the fourth time, I'm not saying that perfect mercy is based on omnibenevolence; it's based on the definition of perfection.

You're arguing against it in this thread. Are you so uneducated you don't realize this?

I guess I am the first Christian apologist to argue against Christianity

Not at all. If I had a dime for every Christian with your apparent incomprehension of the contradictions in your own theology, I could buy nine thousand internets.

Those are intellectual disciplines, not evidentiary material.

They are intellectual disciplines, and when used properly regarding the right subject matter, can give a person good reasons to believe in God.

Which is not evidence, either.

Give evidence of your god.

Worked for me.

Do you need me to look up "evidence" for you as well, or can we trust you to learn how to google these things sometime this year? [/quote]

Don't flatter yourself. I only asked you to define the term because it seemed as if you were committing a non-sequitur, so I wanted to see whether or not you had a different definition of the term than I had...and come to find out, you didn't, you were just WRONG in that regard, that's all. [/quote]

I'd suggest you look it up, then. The first entry in OED is "the available body of facts"; only the third is "signs", or "indications" -- which is pretty weak shit for such an allegedly powerful deity, anyway.

It turns out, your definition, such as can be made of it, is vapid.

I'll wait while you look that word up.

Because the Universe seems to be a closed system ... Einstein.

Any more questions? Because my job is done here.

Yet the human body is deteriorating just like the universe.

It might have something to do with the fact that the human body in inside the Universe.

That still doesn't mean that the human body is a closed system, Newton.

Your inability to admit simple error is much more revealing than you realize.
