There appears to be a rather disturbing connexion between (omni)potence and logic in re (the law) of noncontradiction. If I'm correct, there was a tim...

That God dangles before us the ecstacy of heaven is proof enough that the earth is a shitty place to live in. Then, he plays a diabolical psychologica...
The Father = Omnibenvolent, Omniscient, Omnipotent. :ok: The Son = Jesus (an actual person whol lived in Judea). :ok: The Holy Ghost = ? NOT :ok: Is t...
Self-serving bias? You atrribute the good that happens to you to your own astounding abilities, but if things start going sideways, it isn't you, it's...
There was a time when there was no time! God hadn't created time then. Then God created time! The problem, the way I see it, is that we've been habitu...
Good question OP. At some point Christians will have to stop their preaching and ask this question :point: Where did Jesus get his ideas from? I suppo...
