For every query, you can make up *some* explanation.

Doesn't have to make much sense or have any evidence...our minds can figure out the gaps.

Naw I stumped people on religious questions before

We're very good at protecting ourselves from realizing where we contradict ourselves, our mind at least.

The best one that people couldn't answer was where did god come from

Heh.

Ironically, even I am religious. But I'd hope that doesn't throw me into the same pile.

Nope

If you think it should be in politics or treat the scritpures literally instead of metaphorically then yes

Thats what I'm against

If I was a serial killer, this would be my argument against god: Is he willing to stop me, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then why am I still alive?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

I am mostly for whatever allows the most people to practice whatever they themselves believe, regardless of who it is.

And yeah, for you Saturn, I don’t care what you believe in as long as you don’t go out of your way to try and convert people

Like some nut job.

Religion and spirituality is part of being human, I get that.

I support the 1st ammendment except for the right to protest, I like it when I can go places in cities on highways without people standing there yelling

As long as people don’t force it on others, it’s fine.

That includes religion

I think people absolutely have the right to protest, but the question is to what extent can those rights infringe on the well-being of others.

Or even the convenience of others.

Well if you stand in the middle of a busy road and stop ambulences from getting through I dont like it

what kind of argument against god is that

Evidently, a fun little fact, the 1st Amendment only protects citizens from discrimination of the Federal Government, not of the State Governments. That loop-hole wasn't fully solved until the 14th Amendment.

That happened in milwalkee once

@Oceanic

?

Sure, for sake of argument if you infringe an Ambulance from going through, you are infringing on someone else's rights.

So I can see a valid argument for that.

Yep

why do you call that an argument against god

It is, more than anything, a postulate.

@manga did you not read the context I gave? It’s essentially saying that if god existed, why do murders and hate still happen? Isn’t he omnipotent?

ok

im no religious person but i know the answer to that

at least the answer given

All knowing and all powerful

Also, why does Christianity show god as a male? Why not a female, or maybe ungendered?

To play a bit of a Devil's Advocate, should an Omnipotent God stop murders? And if so...why?

ok

If he doesn’t, he’s malevolent, which defeats the purpose of praying to him.

i dont care much for this discussion i was just wondering
