God Hates Himself and is Irrational
July 11, 2013 at 6:13 pm (This post was last modified: July 11, 2013 at 6:16 pm by Koolay.)
God contradictory.

He commands, 'Thou shalt not murder' but then goes on to flood the entire world, drowning every living species bar 2 of every animal because God did not agree with how some of the humans were behaving...

Not only is that unspeakably psychopathic, but completely contradictory to God's own principles and test of morality. So God has violated his own principle times a billion, yet applies an infinitely higher amount of moral scrutiny to humans; animals that are infinitely less benevolent to him.

God will send a human that murders another human to eternal torture, the same God that voluntarily wiped out the entire planet with cataclysmic floods...

It's just irrational.
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.

Yeah, so? We've been saying this for years.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

He's trying to avoid the label of troll by stating the bloody obvious that absolutely nobody would argue with. Either that or he's trying to get his reputation above 0.

People with a lighter skin colour tend to act that way.

S'true.

I don't know that gods work that way. They don't necessarily have emotions in the same way that we do. Now, Hitler, he was irrational and hated himself.

Once more just for you mr strange...

Killing = lawful taking of life
Murder = unlawful taking of life

God taking life justly (people deserved to die according to God's judgement, is what the Jews were saying), is not contradictory to the commandment.

Damn.

I wanted to start a pool about which of out resident theists would come along first with the "murder is only unlawful killing" argument.

Well, looks like Frodo won.

Yup, saw that one coming from miles away Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

God is irrational... hmmm., that's like saying Donald Duck is irrational.

God is as irrational as the inventors of the concept are.
