If god were real...

You sure make a good argument for cannibalism.

Wouldn't one be required, to justify Christian communion?

If your belief in God is all that stands between you and eating your neighbors, you have more problems than we do.

"Wouldn't one be required, to justify Christian communion?"

Only for the Catholic version (transubstantiation). By their own doctrines, the other denominations aren't eating human flesh, even if they're eating Jesus.

I'm sure most parents at one time or other said they wish they had never had a child, I know mine did.

Uhhh, no shit!

Yet they have been nothing but loving to me all the time.

This only proves that your parents are unaware of the bullshit you spew here.

Well, I guess you are avoiding the question I put before you, does that mean I get a free pass on one of your questions?
Because you are not, nor ever will be God the omniscient and omnipotent One you have no idea what you would do. You do not have all the facts to determine such a thing, so sir you are way off base on this subject of creating, wouldn't you agree? God created out of love, not out of prevention, I'm sure most parents at one time or other said they wish they had never had a child, I know mine did. Yet they have been nothing but loving to me all the time.
If you and others persist on making the statement that God does not exist, then you should have to pony up some very specific info, that's the same you ask from Christians.

What question am I avoiding?

You say god created out of love. Ok, fine.

When you create a child (i.e. give birth), do you create arch enemies for that child? Do you expose the child to disease, starvation, disability? Do you test them by taking away all their toys for no reason just to see if they will still love you? Do you require them to worship you under threat of eternal suffering?

If you read the bible and distill it down to its bare essence, god is a lonely, arrogant, vindictive little kid who only gets attention through intimidation.

This is not love. This is abuse.

And, you should apply the same rigor to our claims as you apply to your own, that way, when I have a revelation from Ahura Mazda claiming that he is the uncreated God, you will accept the truth given to me by the divine.

Answer post 27.

Answer post 27.

It was answered in post 28 (though not by me). It was a relevant answer and does not need to be repeated by me to make it valid.

Idiotic GC. Firstly, we are responsible for the crimes of our minor children with regards to property and damages. So there are crimes we take responsibility for, all day every day- unlike your silly fucking god. Secondly, you -can- be charged in connection to a crime your child committed if you had knowledge of the crime.

To wit, if my kid runs over your mailbox - I have to pay for it. If your god floods a fucking metropolis they call it an act of god and nary a dime is dispersed (or even asked for, hell, you -gods public relations and customer service dept- seem to be butthurt that the subject would even come up). You aren't asking anyone why they wouldn't accept the same level of responsibility, you're excusing your god for accepting a lesser level of responsibility.

In addition, I would also add that we are not omniscient and did not ahve the foreknowledge that our children would do these things. Your god, by his own definition, did. That makes him 100% responsible.

If I know that a murder os going to take place and I do nothong to prevent it, I am as responsible for that murder as the person who pulled the trigger.

All you are doing is trying to remove your gods responsibility. However, omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence mean he is responsible for EVERYTHING!!!!!
