You've obviously shown yourself to be very bigoted against Christianity, while at the same time condemning me for being impatient. I'm very patient, however I value my time and if you continue in that vein it's not worth the time to continue using it on you.I apologise for calling you impatient. That was aimed at other people on the thread. Although the thread title was aimed at you, others joined in, who were definitely impatient and rude. You weren’t. If my accusation seemed to be aimed at you I offer my humble apology.
I reject the label of bigot. I despise religion including Christianity for perfectly valid reasons. In the same way that I despise Stalinism. (neatly avoiding godwin’s law).
You think I have prejudged you because you are a xtian. OK. I believe (as per R Dawkins) that teaching young children is plainly and simply child abuse. Would you, for example, consent to banning Christian teaching until age 18, or at least after sex ed. If you agree to this I will revise my ‘bigotted’ opinion of you.
tackattack Wrote:Omnipotent isn't found in the Bible, I wouldn't claim that as an attribute of God. You are claiming it is. The Bible lists specific things actually that God can't do. So by your definition and using your word, he's not omnipotent. He is however many other things. The common vernacular and understanding amongst Christians rather than listing all of his attributes has compressed simplified it to the omnimax principle, for brevity alone. Unfortunately they lost a lot of accuracy in the process as well. An all power or almight being or entity will always accomplish what he set out to do. I cannot see the reason for such a being to try and accomplish failure, as it's a contradiction, but I can't see anything prohibiting it.I am fairly sure I never said that ‘omnipotent’ was in the bible. I did claim that very many attribute ‘omnipotence’ to their god. I also claim ‘almighty’ and ‘omnipotent’ are virtually interchangeable. And ‘almighty’ is in the bible. I stand by these claims.
As to the big book of multiple choice claiming there are things that god can’t do, I refer you to the following:-
I strongly recommend not using the babble to back up your assertions.
None of which is getting any closer to the juicy carrot of evidence
