god’s use of force—is it justified? , page-12

pinto,

you say,

morning,

"History provides no evidence that God ever abused his power."


History also provides no evidence that God exists at all.

Indeed there is a decided lack of evidence.


What we do have however are a lot of facts about life that are truly distasteful and indeed if engineered by a particular being - suggest that the aforementioned being is either evil or a complete dill - or somewhere in between.


First cab off the rank.

All life is completely dependant on the destruction and consumption of other life.

Just what sort of entity would make a system like that? Certainly not the sharpest tack in the box - at best.

Pinto, Facts please,

ever heard of a plant, ever heard of Photosynthesis,

plants are NOT completely dependant on the destruction and consumption of other life

After that, it's pretty well downhill from there isn't it?

i say,

your arguement is pretty well downhill from there isn't it?

Now, if the said entity throws another curly and uses force - well, what does that say about free will?

Hmmm, - one thing - you have the choice to do whatever you like - but, if I don't like it - I will punish you or force something on you.

i say,

have you ever had kids,

would you tell them to do whatever they like, eat whatever they like, don't go to school, don't clean up, don't obey your mother......

or would you teach them right from wrong?

you say

arrh - another brilliant move from our entity

i say, another stupid arguement from an Athiest.
