how so
How do you answer that question?
are you saying that yahweh is a literal real entity that exists
to clarify
I prefer "God" and my answer was probably.
do you have any evidence to prove the existence of this god you speak of
Not the sort you may be used to
what do you mean
can you tell me about this
What evidence would you normally expect in this sort of conversation?
probably
"god exists necessarily"
something like that
"god exists bcus the book inspired by god says so"
How would that be evidence?😂
it isnt
Ok... Then what sort of **valid** argument would you expect?
There is actually no valid argument i have heard for christianity
so when you said something different from what i would be used to i was interested
Think of it this way... Why would you believe in a god (if you did)?
because you are told your whole life that sky man is true and will have you stoned if you are a homosexual or if you work on the weekends
The last 2 have nothing to do with Christianity... And I very much doubt that is why **you** would ever believe in a god.
hm
Doesn't answer the question
So?
I don't know why I would ever believe in a god
Have you heard of the words "history" and "context"?
They are EXTREMELY important for religion.
Explain please
Not working on the Sabbath is a Jewish custom. Not Christian. It's in the Bible for historical reference.
Homosexuality is a sin according to Christianity but we do not stone people. Again, that is for history's sake.
mk
would you say it is morally wrong to stone people
Depends...
I assume you mean in the context of punishment for sins?
in any situation is it good to throw rocks at someone until they are dead
Yes
That's why I said it depends
Since you weren't specific, I have to say yes
so i have another question
But if you said as punishment I'd say no
