I've not been here long so this won't upset anybody, I just thought it might be useful to mention though. I've been involved in a few threads and for the most part the users of this site have been nothing but polite and sensitive. The attitude and behavior of some members, not just to myself but...
My guess is that you are correct, which is what I am here on a forum entitled "Religious Education". You seem like a very mean and angry man, but please understand that I am only here to learn and would appreciate it if you were a bit more helpful. Your pointlessly nasty posts just grate a...
You are of course entitled to your opinion. All I meant was that if this particular God was created by people, their world view must have been vastly different to ours. We might consider them a bit barmy. Of course they could simply have been authors, inventing a horrible character the same way...
The quote I supplied was from "The God Delusion", I can't remember what chapter, but I think it's "Why are we moral?". The point he was making is that if our morals are derived from holy scripture, then humans would not be able to read the bible and say "God, isn't God a s**t!?". I think he...
I never once claimed that I even believe Dawkins is correct or not. So don't assume anything. I havn't studied the bible a great deal it has to be said. There are some very nice things, there are some utterly disgusting things. Personally I think this God is not evil or good. The people who...
Filicide is the killing of ones own children.
I also believe that it is an accurate description of the God of the OT, I see no way of defending him. I know it's unfair to attack suck an easy target, but it's too damn tempting! As for the "you'd better serve him" comment.... kiss my ***. :p...
“The God of the old testament has to be one of the most unpleasant characters in all fiction: jealous and proud of it, a petty, unjust, unforgiving control freak, a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser, a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocide, filicidal...
I really don't believe there is a God. However, I can't be dogmatic about it and I conceed that there is a very low probability of God existing. I'm utterly stupified by the people claiming absolute certainty either way... that seems completely bizaare to me. I guess I'm in no position to...
In my first post I'm pretty sure I mentioned that my top 5 were related to my past Christian experiences. I was so scared of God and hell that I felt I simply had to go to church every sunday! Don't worry, I've since recovered.
You Are A Walnut Tree
You are strange and full of contrasts... the oddball of your group.
You are unrelenting and you have unlimited ambition.
Not always liked but always admired, you are more infamous than famous.
You are aggressive and spontaneous, and your reactions are often...
Sorry, I should have added that I welcome responses for agnostics too hehe. Yeah, it's nice to go through life not fearing the even angry sky daddy. :)
