Right over my head. What are you replying to? Quote it please. I took a quick backwards loo and did not see anything. Regards DL

The math is right, the premise is wrong. Roll a dice. What are your chances or rolling a 6? 1 in 6. Right? Roll it again. What are your chances of rol...

Indeed. People become food for the fires. On self defence and suicide. I have no problem with killing. I do not think all killing is wrong. Neither di...

From the fact that Yahweh uses it often. Christians also define genocide as good because they say God is good when he uses it. Regards DL

I agree. Same response. They are fools. Faith without facts is for fools. Regards DL

I agree. Conversely, we cannot say that we have a free will that might not sin since we have no examples of people who have not or will not sin. Here ...

Do you believe that literalist fool? Regards DL

The bible does not agree with you, in terms of us knowing good and evil the way God does. Gen3;22 Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing g...

For sure, as well as genocide. He defines that as good while I define it as evil. Regards DL

Indeed. If perfect, then he should not break them any more than we should. That is not the case, which would make God less moral than moral people. Fo...

It is not about knowing better than God. It is about if the biblical instruction to be as perfect as God should be followed or not. Those biblical wor...

It does get a bit confusing. Scriptures say we are to emulate God in all of his ways. Be ye as perfect as God are the words used. God says, do not kil...

If that is the case, you miss his message. You are naming another as your law while ignoring that you are to be God. Modern Gnostic Christians name ou...

Love must have works and deeds and reciprocity between lovers to be true love. God is not around to love is and thus cannot be said to love us just as...

Indeed. That is why there are as many Gods as their are people to think of them. We will all have our own notions of what God is. https://imgur.com/9e...

I know of no exceptions. Do you? Regards DL

This is interesting to a naturalist like me. Nature leads us to a truth about who we think out God should be. The ideal example or God for an ant, is ...

Not wild at all when you know where to look. Have a look at the Vatican's creation painting and see what background God id sitting in. A replica of ou...

I can see how you can take ownership of a law or incorporate it into your ideology. How do you do that with some invisible absentee God? If it is Yahw...

Not so much over our heads as in our heads. Look up Freud and Jung's Father Complex and you will see that they have found where we keep our instincts ...

Jesus said to render twice what was asked in his walk two miles instead of one remark. Easy for him to say as he was not the one doing the lifting and...

To our instincts, there is indeed a higher power. In survival terms, we default to cooperation and to our genes, that means making friends and recogni...

I like the way Gnostic Christianity looks at heaven and reality as science seems to prove their concept. I wrote this to refute the false notion that ...
