The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work

[Chad32]

God is a person. If he wasn't, there wouldn't be a point in worshiping him. A place, thing, or idea can't reward or punish you for anything. Just because he doesn't change (which is debatable) doesn't mean he got it right the first time. It just means he's stubborn. His ideas of the way things should be are as subjective as any. The only difference is that he's apparently top dog. if anyone overthrew him, their opinions would be the absolute morality somehow.

There are some things that can be absolute. Morality isn't one of them. I have said this before.

We can trust a method of research that can be cross-examined by other people, using multiple sources if possible. We make theories about things that have been repeatedly tested through multiple means, and reached the same conclusion. It remains a theory because something might come along to change it, but just because we don't know everything about how something works now, doesn't make it useless.

Your god doesn't seem to be good at handing down truth, given how many of his followers have died over disagreements over the truth he's trying to hand down.

God is not a person He is God a deity a almighty being. We are made like Him, He is not like us.

If there is no moral absolute then you have no foundation on which to judge anything as right and wrong. You would be just arbitrarily stating what is right and wrong.

I can't trust your judgment on what you say about God and His people because you don't have a foundation on which to make judgements.

If he's not a person, he's not worth worshiping. I might as well be worshiping the trees.

Yes, we do have a foundation. That foundation is consistent data. It's not arbitrary to say something is wrong, when it's been historically proven to cause problems. All you're doing is making special pleading for your god, saying it's not subjective when he says something is right or wrong, even though that's what subjective means.

You keep saying the same thing over and over, ignoring my examples without giving good reasons for doing so. You want to put your god on a pedestal for no apparent reason, and we keep going in circles. Why are we even having this conversation anymore?
