Theists: how do you account for psychopaths?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I can explain... you see, you're not supposed to take the "God" character literally!
Only his good deeds can be taken literally! Ignore the rest ... That's just angry goat herders talking. Everyone knows that.

Yeah, they're good cafeteria Christians.

No one has brought a pig by to absorb the demon and then go run off a cliff . . .

Does that make the bacon taste better?

[vorlon13]

Kind of a smoky sulphur taste . . .

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Psychopaths = evil angels, not to be confused with demons.

We don't all belong to God. We are not all seeds of God.

Mat 13:
24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’

28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.

“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”

See, it;s easy.  Divine ethnocentricity. All you have to do to explain one shitty thing is invoke an even shittier one!

I missed it, where do you see the scat?

I think I made myself pretty clear.  The "Hold My Beer" theory of religious apologism in response to the contention that you couldn;t do or say anything worse than x...is risible bullshit.

The notion that divine ethnocentricity explains psychopathy is false on it;s face..and you don;t believe it.  You won;t tell me that pagans are "gods seed" or people..and yet they possess morality and are not psychopaths.  True of muslims and every other sect of christer you don;t accept as true christians, and..ofc..atheists...for that matter.

Further, would you like to contend that all of your favorite mythical heroes in magic book..carrying out gods heinously immoral commands as the psychopaths they must have been...weren't "gods seed" or gods people..on account of them being batshit crazy?

.....and how about you?  To hear you tell the tale you're one bad plate of shrimp away from hearing gods voice tell you to skullfuck your neighbor - and you'd do it.  Are you..thusly, not gods seed..not gods people?

What? religious apologism=Explaining religion (not what I do/I focus on biblical appologetics much of which is deleted from most religions. hence no relationship with God in that particular religion) in relation that one can not say anything worse than "X"

In truth blaspheming the Holy Spirit is that "X" which is what one does when He deny's a life time works of the Spirit's effort to contact you./You cast of the works of the Spirit as anything other than what it is for a life time. Those called by God hear and answer the call those who are seeded by Satan are built not to respond to anything they hear. Most of us will not know who we are/to whom we belong to till after judgement

The notion that divine ethnocentricity explains psychopathy is false on it;s face..[quote] God, you MUST at some point grow weary of being wrong so much of the time... let me break it down into smaller pieces for you.. If believing God is superior to another group is wrong on it's face then I would not need the explanation I have asked for 3 times now.

[quote]and you don;t believe it. 

I do believe God is Superior to belief in anything else.

You won;t tell me that pagans are "gods seed"

I just said and have always said for like 20 years We do not get to elect who is and who is not. our lives our morality means nothing, and most of us will not know who belongs to God and who does not because we are so wrapped up in tring to be OT jews that we miss the point of being Christian. Even people like you are tied up in thinking God's ecconomy works off of OT judism/morality.

or people..and yet they possess morality and are not psychopaths

Again morality is a shit standard man invented to try and EARN tHis way to Heaven. After Christ on the cross happened 'Morality' went out of the window as the 'test' of worthyness for Heaven. When will you morons get Heaven is NOT about who is Good or Who is Bad. The only people in Heaven can admit that they are the evil ones. then seek Christ's righteousness to be the measure from which they are judged.

  True of muslims and every other sect of christer you don;t accept as true christians, and..ofc..atheists...for that matter.

Here's the thing sport No christian will deny Jesus' own words "that no man shall come to the Father but by me (meaning by Jesus)

Here is where the division happens, most churches most denominations believe they are the "chrst" that no one goes through. mean most "denominations" believe they have the secret formula...

That's not what Christ said...

Christ said specifically I am the way the truth and the light and No man shall come to the Father but by Him. Meaning no church no denomination no creed or plan of salvation will save you. Only a direct relationship with Jesus Himself.

That is what I peddle.. no rituals no chants no special knoweledge no secrete rights or rituals kept secrete from all but members. I share the fact that a "christian" is whom ever Jesus Himself calls a christian. Church has nothing to do with it. To borrow a line from oprea You could be a christian, our muslim buddies could be christian and yes even I could be a Christian if Christ so identifies us as such on that final day.

That is why I say none of us has the right to wear that name truly as only jesus can give it to us

[The Grand Nudger]

I do believe God is Superior to belief in anything else.

Irrelevant, since you're not responding to anything you quoted in that little bit of pious theater.  I noted that you do not believe in your own theory of divine ethnocentricity as an explanation for psychopathy or a dearth of morality.  

I just said and have always said for like 20 years We do not get to elect who is and who is not. our lives our morality means nothing, and most of us will not know who belongs to God and who does not because we are so wrapped up in tring to be OT jews that we miss the point of being Christian. Even people like you are tied up in thinking God's ecconomy works off of OT judism/morality.

I don;t see you telling me that the pagans are gods seed or people.  

Again morality is a shit standard man invented to try and EARN tHis way to Heaven. After Christ on the cross happened 'Morality' went out of the window as the 'test' of worthyness for Heaven. When will you morons get Heaven is NOT about who is Good or Who is Bad. The only people in Heaven can admit that they are the evil ones. then seek Christ's righteousness to be the measure from which they are judged.

So much blah blah blah.  I don;t care how pissy you get when you talk about morality..you're not telling me that those other™ people don;t possess it.

Here's the thing sport No christian will deny Jesus' own words "that no man shall come to the Father but by me (meaning by Jesus)

Exactly what I said, not gods people, and yet they;re not psychopaths nor are they void of morality.

Here is where the division happens, most churches most denominations believe they are the "chrst" that no one goes through. mean most "denominations" believe they have the secret formula...

That's not what Christ said...

Christ said specifically I am the way the truth and the light and No man shall come to the Father but by Him. Meaning no church no denomination no creed or plan of salvation will save you. Only a direct relationship with Jesus Himself.

Words and words and words.  You just reinforced my point while trying to argue a pile of other silly bullshit.

You don;t believe that divine ethnocentrism accounts for psychopathy or a void of morality. How much of the rest of this shit is just more words you don;t -actually- believe in?
