If you want to question Him, do so ... but don't hide behind question marks to vent & ridicule -- it makes you look sad.

As I already explained in my previous post my intention is not to ridicule - the only reason it seams like I try to ridicule is because the beliefs you holds are, as a matter of fact, contrary and as such silly. For this reason you may feel ridiculed.

As a friendly advice, perhaps you shoudl consider looking yourself carefully in the mirror and reflecting on your own beliefs system before passing judgments of intention with others. Because what you do now is a well know phenomena known as 'projecting' in psychology, in where you try to justify your own cognitive dissonance by rationalize it as intention of ridicule and mocking done by me. But I am not....

You just keep on going, don't you?

Just like the Energizer wolf ... er ... bunny.

I can assure you, from personal experience, that the truth can hurt very bad sometimes. I don't want to hurt you AV, but I am telling you the truth. This is in now way a ridicule of you and your beliefs but sadly their is no nice way to tell it either but this is the real truth I am exposing you for. If the truth hurts and it feels like ridicule then perhaps it is because your "truth" is in fact a silly "truth".

Please, give it a serious thought...

It looks like we've stumbled onto something that he just can't let himself see. Bizarre.

That is why I wrote earlier I find it to be mind boggling how something can be and not be at the same time. My guess is that it is all about emotions, if our emotion are in conflict with our rational mind the emotions wins, because the alternative is great emotional pain....

In the absence of an absolute, transcendent lawgiver there can be no absolute transcendent moral laws. An atheist has no basis for making any moral judgements, as if there are no absolute moral laws, morality is reduced to a matter of personal preference.

God's moral law says that tne penalty for sin is death. The bible makes it clear that all have sinned. Perfect justice would therefore require that all be condemned. Fortunately for us, God reconciled His perfect justice with His love and mercy for us, by sending His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins, and to be raised on the third day for our justification, defeating sin and death. If you choose to reject Jesus and His pardon bought on the cross, that is on you, and not Him.


Neither relevant nor material. Are, or are not, people able to judge the morality of Gods actions. You initially claimed men could not judge Gods actions. You then claimed that some are able to. Which is it?

I don't blame you for feeling and reacting this why, in fact I feel sympathy for you and find it sad that you are unable to liberate your own mind from the brainwashing you been exposed and is, as a matter of fact, trapped in...
LOL ... "brainwashed" ... that's one I haven't seen for awhile.

Thank you!

Usually I'm some form of "backwater."

It's very odd. AV1611VET seems to have some sort of selective blindness/deafness on this issue. It is as if certain concepts are shredded by a firewall before they reach the part of his brain that considers and analyses ideas. Of course he admits that any ideas/concepts/facts/analyses that do reach his brain and have the potential to interfere with his faith are isolated and binned immediately so that he can continue blissfully believing whatever it is that makes him happy. It looks like we've stumbled onto something that he just can't let himself see. Bizarre.

What standard would you use to judge Gods actions and what gives that standard authority by which God should be held accountable? If you say Gods standard you are only demonstrating your ignorance of that standard.

Except men wrote the bible, so by what authority can you demonstrate what the standards of your god might be?

You keep trying to change the subject for some reason. Can we or can we not judge God's actions?

The same standards that you use to claim that God is just, presumably. Or are you saying that all one needs to do to demonstrate they are just is to assert it?

You are in no position to judge Gods actions as one who stands condemned under God's moral law.


And again you answer a question that I did not ask. Is any human being capable of judging Gods actions as moral or immoral?

Yes ... but our judgment could be wrong.
