That's all well and good, and possibly even true.  We're just asking you to reconcile a logical impossibility.  We know it's impossible; but, by all means, keep trying.

 

That's just it!

Come on, if you claim there is no God then why would you even make the accusation that God is any way responsible.  It seems to me that you don't really subscribe to liberty since the liberty to believe doesn't require evidence, faith requires evidence but you ain't the judge of anyone's faith. 

 

You still haven't digested this yet? We're 5 pages in. I've personally told on at least three occasions so far that it's irrelevant what we think. We are not accusing god as responsible for sex slaves. We do not believe in god, so how could we think he's responsible if we don't believe he exists?

 

We're pointing out a logical contradiction about YOUR beliefs about a god!!!!

 

1) YOU believe in the god of the bible, who is given attributes according to the bible.

 

2) Those attributes include all presence, all knowing, all powerful and all good, among many other attributes. Those four will do for now. 

 

3) These attributes that YOU believe in, because you believe in the god of the bible, cause many contradictions listed throughout the thread.

The topic here is the logical impossibilities that stem from what the bible claims about god.

There are no contradictions, just the inability of mortal man to comprehend His Mysterious Ways. Sheesh, did you learn nothing in Sunday School? 🤣

Why are you trying to define whom I believe in when you don't have a clue?

Exactly, you don't believe in truth.

 

But if you say that Florduh claims that he does not believe that there is no truth,  he just doesn't believe that there is any  proof that truth exists.

I don't have a belief that there is no god, and that is apparently something that is impossible for theists to grasp.

Justus, 

 

You seem to object to Joshpantera telling you what you believe.

 

Yet, you've told him what he doesn't believe.

 

Aren't you doing to him what you've accused him of doing to you?

Thanks.....this is more clearly stated.  Even I thought each of you were entertaining God as possibility.  But back to your more clear question.

I don't have a clue that you are a christian, who believes that the bible is true? Are you NOT a christian and do you NOT believe that the bible is true? 

 

Let's fine tune your position step by step with two basic, yes or no questions. 

 

1) Are you a christian? 

2) Do believe that the bible is true?

When I said you believe in the god of the bible, you objected. But when I said that we do not believe in god, you said that we don't believe in truth. That seems to suggest that you are saying that because we don't believe in god, therefore we do not believe in truth - meaning that you DO believe in the god of the bible, as a christian, and I was correct from the outset. Unless you believe in some other god, some other religion, and some other religious text which you've never disclosed to us. 

 

Just answer the two yes or no questions if you will. 

 

Thanks

So it's been too confusing for you guys to understand what we're even talking about. I've tried several times to clarify it. I don't understand how you guys could think that we were entertaining the possibility that god exists just by examining the bible's claims ABOUT god, and pointing out the logical contradictions that follow from the bibles claims. All way making clear time and again that we don't believe in god, we're just examining the biblical clams about god. 

 

I guess we have to break it down even further, more simple. Every time we ask a question we may need to frame it as such: 

 

I don't believe in god or the truth of the bible myself, but you profess to. So please try and answer why *insert logical contradiction here* is ok with you and doesn't throw up any red flags?

No it's not confusing.  I just don't understand if you totally don't believe it anymore, why bother discussing it at all.  Why dedicate so much of your life to maintaining an argument....valuable time.

We really dont mind taking the time.  It helps lurkers and newbies who are seeking freedom from religion.  Consider it a ministry we feel called into.  Better yet, it's all part of god's plan.  😆

You are at a site for Ex-Christians. You bring your Christian narrative here and make assertions. We challenge you to provide evidence. We ask how you justify inconsistencies. These exchanges are educational to those questioning their own beliefs.

     Skepticism?  Curiosity?  It's my (spare) time so does it really matter?

Further to TRP points, we live in a society where the religious feel it is their right to foist their religious beliefs upon the rest of us. They try and pass laws based on their religion rather than reasoned debate. 

 

THAT is why we spend so much time discussing and combating religion.

😡  Bitch whining about how hard it has been to be away from his children... what about the child whose innocence he stole?  If that is god's plan, then the cross was too easy a death for him?

God is obviously making his pastors into sex perverts for some mysterious reason that will somehow in the end glorify himself.

Yes, god predestined that piece of shit, 14 year old girl molesting asshole to (1) be born into this world, (2) have the upbringing that he had, (3) go on to join the ministry and (4) USE THE MINISTRY TO GROOM YOUNG GIRLS FOR PASSING BETWEEN MINISTERS FOR THEIR SEXUAL GRADIFICATION! 

 

Praise the lord!!!!!!!

 

Eat your heart out John Calvin!!!!
