Why is god able to judge what is serious for humans?
He made us in His image.
Quote:Isn't that just his opinion?
God does not opine. He knows. And He doesn't have to think it through and come to a conclusion through a process of discovery. He knows.
Quote:And for that matter, why would god's opinion carry any weight at all? I've yet to see a theist answer that question without irrelevant claims they fail to justify, or a "might makes right" approach.
Because might makes right.
Oh, that and the fact that God does not opine. He knows.
Quote:And if he gives a loophole, doesn't He give the same to everyone equally?
No: the loophole seriously favors those who are capable of performing sufficient mental gymnastics to believe in something with insufficient evidence. It's nigh unobtainable to those of us unwilling to take a series of enormous leaps of faith; rationality is a serious handicap to obtaining that loophole.
There are no atheists in foxholes. When you think you are about to die, you'll be ready to get serious with God.
