Science is a false God

And yet you still haven’t defined your god nor have you proved the existence and or validity of the god nor the Bible. Waste of my time with dodgers, I’m out


Your argumentum ad lapidem is irrational.

Aut disce aut discede.

What happens when you take God as your example and order that all the conquered citizens be put to death except the virgins and young marriageable women, who are to be shared out among the troops?

Do you approve impaling seven of Saul's sons before God so as to expiate Saul's bloodguilt towards the Gibeonites?

Do you think it's a great idea to crucify your son to yourself when with one snap of your omnipotent fingers you could get the result you want without the gore?

Do you, obedient to God's order, refuse to consort with menstruating women?


You're not making any sense. Just how does any of that answer my simple query?

"You must not murder." - Exodus 20:13
No, that won't do. Murder is a highly technical concept, and its definition varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. What is the precise factor that must be present to make it murder? May soldiers kill? May you kill in self-defense? Must you intend to kill or are accidents not murder? What then is an accident? Is it not murder if you're insane? Or too young? Are honor killings allowed? What about duels? What about crime passionel? As many opinions as people.
"From within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.” -Mark 7:21-23
Same again. Is anger of itself 'evil' or are there legitimate reasons to rage, and lash out? When is sex between consenting adults 'immorality', and why? Deceit is both nasty (a betrayal of trust) and a human trait ─ why are traitors heroes to the enemy? Why are WW2 escapes, based on deceit, so applauded? Is not the baited hook of the fisherman a deceit? Is not envy the driver of much of capitalism? As for pride, what's wrong with ambition anyway? False pride is only self-deceit, so who's the victim? And how often has one or other shade of foolishness-gone-wrong led to a serious life-lesson?

I really don't agree with black'n'white morality ─ it's essentially simple-minded.

After creating the first human pair, our Almighty Creator dictated that sexual relations between a man and a woman can only be within the bonds of matrimony. Any other sexual activity outside this arrangement is evil. And countless children, women and men have suffered tremendously from the practice of this evil . . .

Deceit is . . . nasty (a betrayal of trust)

Humanity's nemesis, Satan the Devil, we are informed, "was a murderer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of the lie." -John 8:44

All liars, then, follow in Satan's footsteps.
