Oh, he did: he replied to me that yes, they are the same, but for reasons he refused to make clear, that god is still blameless for the atrocities committed in the old testament.

So, standard Drich nonsense, really.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Same God, different ways to worship Him.

Wow... really? It was asked several times through this thread, which means maybe the answer is more important than the flippant response you just gave me... but, whatevs.

So your god is ok with people burning other people alive as long as Jews are doing the burning?

Then why did these people burn that lady?

If the Jews weren't in a conspiracy to overthrow Europe, why did the Nazis attempt to exterminate them?

Simply put; people can be wrong. The fact that someone was punished does not necessarily mean they were guilty of a crime.

Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
