MERGED: The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part 1) & (Part 2)

[DeistPaladin]

Being: 1a : the quality or state of having existence b (1) : something conceivable as existing (2) : something that actually exists (3) : the totality of existing things c : conscious existence : life
2: the qualities that constitute an existent thing : essence; especially : personality
3: a living thing; especially : person


As we can see, the Christian God, according to the belief, has a quality or state of existence and is conceivable, and is conscious life...and is a living thing.

Deity: 1a : the rank or essential nature of a god : divinity b capitalized : god 1, supreme being
2: a god or goddess <the deities of ancient Greece>
3: one exalted or revered as supremely good or powerful

Divinity, god, supreme being, supremely good/powerful...all of this applies to the traditional theistic God.

It seems pretty clear-cut to me.

So there are three gods then. Got it.

Polytheism.

I agree, the trinity sounds like a classic case of multiple personality disorder or flat out insanity.

Multiple personality disorder is the only way I can think of to explain how there can be multiple personas within the same being. This sounds like an especially erratic case with the suicidal behavior.

We'll just add that to "megalomania", "narcissism" and "sociopathic personality disorder" in our list of Yahweh's mental illnesses.

He also seems to have a superiority complex, but a desperate need for constant reassurance that he exists at all.

Could you imagine anything crazier than the Y guy?

Why are we discussing fictional things as if they could ever be real?

An attempt to get theists to stop and think for one second, about how insane the things they try to defend are.

Don't hold your breath though :p

Also fun make believe! Except we can turn it off when we're done.

I knew that. Rethorical question

[robvalue]

I knew you knew that. But you probably knew that

It's lots of fun kicking God around like a deflated foot ball.

so follow herd wait for herd to stop build axe or attempt to build axe.
herd moves again stop making axe move again try to or attempt to finish axe no resources to finish axe. herd moves again you finish and kill animal leave axe go back to group.

Okay. What if god existed and by sacrificing himself to himself (god is a man, obv), and was going to do all the shit and miracles planned for us, but instead got abducted by...
