From his incoherent arguments and terrible spelling, I'm guessing he's a child who's just parroting what his parents tell him without understanding any of it for himself. Or maybe that's just how all religious people are, regardless of age. Either way I'm having a hard time deciphering what he's trying to say

Well, I would like to see a truly secular justification for slavery, genocide, rape, torture, genital mutilation, servitude and masochism. I know theists lie to try to put that on us, and Identify it in bad regimes. But it is inescapably mandated in their holy books.
Let the cherry-picking commence.

Here's what I want to know:
1. Why is god okay with one of us, mere lowly humans deserving of eternal hellfire for failing to acknowledge him, being such an arrogant fuck in his name? Surely god wants all credit and glory and yet this egomaniacal twat is hogging quite a bit for themselves with their certainty and superiority complex. Isn't pride a sin?
2. If having this certain, infallible message means GC is burdened with spreading this message of truth to unbelievers and alternative faiths or interpretations of the same faith, why is GC doing such a piss-poor job of it and not trying to use a means of convincing others of the validity of his claims that has been proven effective?
3. If GC is a failure at the above mission, and god chose him for it, isn't GC going to face some consequences for being such a half-assed conversion agent, and isn't god's judgment about both the identities and capabilities of his chosen prophets and his own ability to reveal himself a pretty huge fucking indictment about the entire proposition?

Gee! That would really suck. Suffering thru ministering to the likes of us, and still not earning Salvation ??
Shit, that's a raw deal for sure.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

LMAO. That's like Sye Ten Bruggencate saying that, while no one can be certain of anything, he is certain about his god. Why? Because god revealed it to him 'in such a way that he can be certain'. When asked by what mechanism that is, we get the description of 'Phase 2' from the Underpants Gnomes' economic plan. Apply that to any other thing and they'd slap him in a straitjacket and stick him in a rubber room.
So for those who don't watch South Park...

well your flase god either can or can't do it.
Ask Him if you need to know that badly, get the answer directly from Him so this gnawing question that you obsess over want consume you.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

How does one do that if they have A/S/Ked and received no answer.
He ain't there. You are talking to yourself and all of the things you want to believe about the people you talk to.
Everybody wants to think that too.
