A Quote For Atheist to consider :

[thebigfudge]

God leaves the choice up to you on purpose. Thats the point of free-will. What would be the point if we did everything God tells us to only because he's made us do it. He want willful obedience.

Again a baseless dogmatic statement with 0 actual evidence or truth behind it !

This is a small part of a much longer interview, so YES you can cut a certain bit out of context. YOu really need to think before you post !

What he says cant be taken out of context. He is asked the question and he answers the question in a few sentences clear as day. Stop making excuses.

I assume you are on about Dawkins . Can I ask excuses for what, what does he say is bad???

The qoute mining was aimed at Myers. Infact if you want to youtube myers response. or check his blog he goes into it a LOT.

Free will? Some people aren't given the luxury of having free will because of religion. People get killed for changing religions. It was on the news. And I can't stress enough how NOBODY HAS EVER KILLED IN THE NAME OF ATHEISM. It's a dead argument, so stop wasting our time.

God IS love.

Numbers 31 25-31

25 The LORD said to Moses, 26 “You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the community are to count all the people and animals that were captured. 27 Divide the spoils equally between the soldiers who took part in the battle and the rest of the community. 28 From the soldiers who fought in the battle, set apart as tribute for the LORD one out of every five hundred, whether people, cattle, donkeys or sheep. 29 Take this tribute from their half share and give it to Eleazar the priest as the LORD’s part. 30 From the Israelites’ half, select one out of every fifty, whether people, cattle, donkeys, sheep or other animals. Give them to the Levites, who are responsible for the care of the LORD’s tabernacle.” 31 So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.

Your god sounds like little more than a mafia hood.

Again that whole statement is baloney. The pre-requisite to the entire thing is to "imagine"

Your God has no basis all you have is belief in a sadistic manual. which is factually wrong, morally atrocious and ultimately disturbig.

If you want us to believe, Prove God. It should be easy." just pray for our conversion" You know the truthfull word of God ( the Bible) says anything is possible with prayer. If i don't convert within the next 10 mins I can safely say you have failed

That's why I prefaced it by calling it a thought experiment. Sure it's all a fiction but even when discussing a novel or a movie don't you sometimes argue about which characters are more plausible? Try taking it in that vein.

Prove God. It should be easy." just pray for our conversion"

To hell with that. Let him pray for his fucking god to strike me dead.

I'll check in every day just to let him know that his god told him to go fuck himself.

[Darwinian]

He want willful obedience.

[Minimalist]

So do all slave owners.
