By yours too. You're well aware that any parent who behaves as the Calvinistic God is pure evil. You therefore persist a contradiction.
No parent is God. Their children belong to God, as do they themselves. They have no right to behave concerning their children as God does concerning any of his creatures. But the fact you think this comparison is valid, well describes your limited view of God. Your small god is not God at all, by this view.
No on your deterministic assumptions, they don't.
I repeat, did they or did they not choose what they chose? I suppose your objection is the word, "freely"? Ok, not free, I don't care. Nevertheless, they chose.
Seems I missed a couple of posts.
Deflection. You shouldn't deflect on concepts relevant to a debate. To say, "God agrees with me, not you" is sheer assertion.
I gave you four definitions of real-life experiences dependent on time, contrary to atemporality. Deal with it.
From what I can tell by what you quoted, I didn't say there that God agrees with me, not you.
Just without going back, I can tell you that your four definitions of real-life experiences dependent on time, are. if real-life experiences, therefore by definition not atemporal. Yet you seem to think there is something worth contesting here, though you yourself say they are "contrary to atemporality".
You also seem to be operating under the misapprehension that I care to debate further with you. Do you recall the post someone put concerning your ad homs and other ways of distancing your opponents? I have a reason to keep away, too, in addition to that --your god is not my God, yours being, by your own admission, of a changing and growing nature. I have already told you how that is evident in the way you exalt the ability of man to God's level, or that is to say, to bring God down to ours.
I should think that should give
@John Mullally, and anyone else who rates your posts with "agree" and the like, pause. And, hopefully bring them to rethink the notion of a God who must deal with circumstances beyond his control.
So we have little common ground for debate.
Edit note: I see I somehow originally sent this post where JAL's words and mine were mixed at one point, and several things he said were somehow quoted into the post without me meaning to. Thus an extensive edit has been done.
