Comparing god to a Narcissist.

[Joods]

I would argue that if you were a God, you'd have a right to be narcissistic.

But I'm not a god and I don't claim to be one. And if I was, I sure wouldn't be narcissistic about it. I doubt you even know what narcissism really is. Anyone can read about it but actually dealing with a person who has it and is malicious about it, is an entirely different thing.

I started this thread based upon who and what I have dealt with in my personal life. I feel I'm spot on with my assessment and the similarities between the two. The comparisons made are as accurate as I see them. You can argue away all you like. You will never convince me that your god and a narcissist are different from one another.

You might as well give up right now.

If this was true he wouldn't of given us free will. We ask the question of why evil exists, the truth is, if everyone loved their neighbor, evil wouldn't exist, If everyone had love for one another, starving kids wouldn't exist. You can clearly see that the problem lies not with God but with man.

Get off the free will crap. No... the only way the problem lies with man is man's mistake in believing a magical creature placed us all here in the first place.

If god really did put us all here, then he's got the means and the ability to make sure no one starves, gets sick or suffers in any other way possible. He'd have the means and the ability to speak to each of us DIRECTLY and teach us about right and wrong without having to rely on questionable stories from a book written by man, totally dependent on yet more humans to translate and relay those words to others.

If you could create a universe, I'd put you on a pedestal too, because..I don't know...I owe my existence to you?.

Prove he actually was responsible for creating the universe.
Oh and using the bible doesn't count as a proper reference since it's a work of fiction.

Strange how this "abusive" God let you get away with this post without being stuck down.

Yeah.. about that... can't strike me down if you don't exist. Duh.

I realize you're new, but the slavery thing has been discussed to death.

Yeah so has every single point you've ever tried to make. I don't need years on this forum to know that. Your circular arguments are obvious.

Claiming people serve God because they are afraid of Hell is like saying people don't commit murder because they are afraid of the death penalty.

That depends on which god you are talking about. If you are talking about a loving god, one who keeps the peace, puts an end to suffering, sickness and starvation, then no, I suppose he shouldn't be feared. But if you are talking about the god of your bible, you know, the one who performed mass genocide, constantly threatens his "people" that in order to get to the pearly white gates, they must obey him, otherwise they suffer eternal damnation in hell. That's the one I'm talking about.

And yeah, I don't commit murder because I AM afraid of the death penalty. That and I obey the laws because Prison Orange isn't my color. I have a list of five people who I would happily off right now if I knew that I could get away with it. So your argument is invalid.

Either your a murder or your not, the penalty for murder doesn't factor in the decision.

It's You're not your. Your implies ownership. You're means You Are. I am not a murder. Murder is an action word. I'm not an action word, last time I checked. And yes, to many people the penalty for murder WOULD most certainly factor in the decision. Especially one that is well thought out and executed (pardon the pun).

You serve God out of love not fear. You cannot mentally conceive how horrific hell is. It makes no sense for you to fear something you have no concept for.

One - I don't serve any god. Period.
Two - I very well CAN mentally conceive how horrific it might be. I don't have to believe in hell to do this. When you read a work of fiction, as you are reading, you mentally conceive what the characters look like, what their surroundings look like, what they are doing looks like. Imagination is wonderful that way. Do not assume to know what my thoughts are.

A literal burning hell would be like Disneyland compared to what hell is actually like.

Wait... so now YOU are telling me HOW horrific hell actually is?
Didn't you JUST SAY not more than two sentences ago, in the same damn paragraph that I cannot mentally conceive how horrific hell is? So how is it that you can but I can't?
I guess you can tell me what hell is actually like because you speak from experience? Or did you just mentally conceive how horrific it is in order to come off as a smart guy?

I realize that, so why waste time posting nonsense?

I'd like to see a show of hands from those here who think my OP is most certainly NOT nonsense.

Are we not on an Atheist forum? Am I not posting something worthy of discussion?
