Contradictions in "rational" thought
#7
RE: Contradictions in "rational" thought
All you have done is list arguments that on their own are made to address specific points about specific arguments. They're not meant to be taken together. Every theist has an entirely different notions of what god is and does, and these are simply responses to statements made, to various arguments for God.

Here, I'll give you a real contradiction.

I had a conversation with a woman who told me that evil exists because people have free will. Yet when talking about a man who died in a car accident she said "When it's your time to go, God takes you." How is that free will if God decides when you die?

Or other statements made by Christians who argue for free will include, "God has a plan" and "Everything happens for a reason". Please explain to me those contradictions.
"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." Benjamin Franklin
