Quote:I've already answered this. ;-)Which doesn't rescue the moral status of the story, or the god described in the story...do you understand? God never did any of the "good shit" either, but that doesn;t stop you from believing that god is good on the basis of it having never happened. Be consistent.
No to all, except "had God ever allegorically done anything bad." Well, if it's an allegorically written story, then God didn't actually do it.
Quote:I'm sorry if my interactions have not been satisfactory to you. I admit I'm not always so good at putting thoughts into words, or at writing in general. That and I type slow.No, not "unsatisfactory", stop it. You have been plainly and repeatedly contradictory....which to be completely honest, isn't what irritates me at all. I hold contradictory things to be morally true myself. The difference...is that I'll own up to that without reservation.
Oh, Onanism isn't the reason, btw, the displeasure of god at the act as expressed in the narrative isn't the basis for your moral condemnation?....hmn, have you checked the catechism or catholic answers.....on that one?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
