Part 3

RE: Part 3
Hold up everyone! Stop what you are doing! Drich knows what the true nature of the Christian god is! Please tell us. We will probably disagree but thats expected from atheists. The funny thing is, a thousand different denominations of Christianity may well disagree with you too.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

RE: Part 3
Drich if you can't even know what proof of god looks like then how do you prove god?
Especially when the bible can be proven false.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

RE: Part 3
He's not going to tell us anything specific about his god. The best we can expect is obscure rhetoric about seeking our own answers, almost certainly with a warmed-through dollop of that stupid A/S/K shit on top.

And Drich? My morality certainly trumps that of your bible god. It definitely pisses all over its 'righteousness'. I've never gone out of my way to harm anyone, I've certainly never killed anyone, I've never ordered the taking of slaves and in fact would oppose anyone who did, I've never created a species deliberately imperfectly and then blamed them for not matching up to my standards, I'd never even consider hiding all trace of my existence from such a species and then condemn them for not trying to look for me, neither would I let something else I created cause chaos amongst that creation without doing something to destroy it and I certainly wouldn't blame my creations for falling victim to it...

Etc...

Etc.

As for what constitutes 'proof' of your god claims; that's your problem, not ours.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Thank you Stimbo. You took the words out of my mouth. The d-bag can't seem to get it through his head that no one here gives a shit about his absurd ramblings meant to defend the ridiculous scribblings of people that had even less education than he does.

Omf he actually post's a source with huge errors in it.

Story of jesus']
Herod ruled from around 37 BC until his death in 1 BC. This is the HEROD who was on the scene at the time of the birth of Jesus.
[/quote]
Well thats bullshit, and here is the encyclopedia britannica
[quote=Britannica]
Herod, byname Herod the Great, Latin Herodes Magnus (born 73 bc—died March/April, 4 bc, Jericho, Judaea), Roman-appointed king of Judaea (37–4 bc), who built many fortresses, aqueducts, theatres, and other public buildings and generally raised the prosperity of his land but who was the centre of political and family intrigues in his later years.
[/quote]
here's another bit from the story of jesus
[quote=Story of jesus Wrote:
ARCHELAUS was the eldest son of Herod the Great. This Herod ruled after his father died and is only mentioned once in the biblical account. In the gospel of Matthew it is recorded that after Joseph had been told that Herod was dead and that he could return home he learned that Archelaus was now ruling over Judea and was afraid. Joseph was warned in a dream not to return to Judea, and so he settled his family in Galilee. So Jesus was born in Bethlehem but grew up in Galilee.
here is the error, archelaus was not herods oldest anitpater was as stated in britannica here.
Britannica Wrote:in his last years Herod suffered from arteriosclerosis. He had to repress a revolt, became involved in a quarrel with his Nabataean neighbors, and finally lost the favour of Augustus. He was in great pain and in mental and physical disorder. He altered his will three times and finally disinherited and killed his firstborn, Antipater.
Now drich this really hurts your argument, because if your sources can't handle such basic information then it calls all the conclusions you make off that information into question as well as the information itself.
Also this same site makes two assertions with zero evidence.
"Story of jesus Wrote:Herod the Great - Met with the Wise men from the east. Killed all the babies under 2 years old in Bethlehem in an attempt to kill Jesus.
We have zero evidence to back up these claims and good reason to believe that no such attempt was made on the children of Bethlehem, as hero was a client king of Augustus, and a out of favor one at that after a unauthorized war. So given that he only rule with Augustus blessing in his last year such a infanticide is way beyond out of character for Augustus and was not noted by any historian in the golden age of Latin literature. That includes people like Livy, Seneca, both Pliny's and Tacitus. none record infanticide, even Josephus.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale

So basically - God is perfect, God bashes babies heads against the wall for the crimes of their parents - therefore that's OK - but it wouldn't be OK for anyone else to do it.

And God gets angry, seeks vengeance, is wrathful and isn't sorrowful or apologetic - you could add proud and vain to get a majority of the 7 deadly sins - enough to convict anyone else - but God is perfect and therefore its OK but it wouldn't be for anyone else.

And you wonder why we don't get it?Confusedhock:

Oh, I get it. You all feel that your 'morality' somehow trumps God's morality/righteousness.

Therefore God is not worthy of worship.

Close?




I'd say pretty much spot on rather than close. If my morality were as bad as that displayed by God in the Bible then I would be writing this from prison.

look at that - he can be taught

Whats even better is that you actually think that admitting your god has some unexplainable immunity to being labeled an immoral being will somehow satiate those who call him out on his atrocities.

If there was ANYONE on this site who was teetering on the edge of accepting your bogus messiah, you've definitely put an end to that.
You should be glad Jesus isn't real, he'd be pissed as fuck at you by now.

RE: Part 3
Ah.... "the god of the bible" card... Any divinity we make up that goes against the god described in the bible is not "the god of the bible"... "the god of the bible" is the one and only...

That expression reminds me of "the emperor of star wars", or "the headmaster of harry potter"...
The bible is a book written by people for people. All the words in it came from people and, as such, represent the way those people viewed their society. I'm glad our society doesn't work like theirs.
Perhaps that society was a necessary evil in order for us to get here... but still... I don't envy those who lived back then... nor those who live like if they were back then, like those poor folks under sharia law.
