Proof christians are full of crap |
Proof christians are full of crap.
Christians say that "God is love".
But if you ask them another time why God made humans then their standard
answer is - "to have someone to love him" (obviously because all his angels
have left him. No surprise there).
But if God is love then why does he need someone to love him?
Why does 'Love' need 'love'?
Lol.
It would be like the ocean asking for glasses of water.
Then christians say - "He did it not because 'He' needs our love but because
'we' needed to love him".
But the thing is, before we existed we had no needs for anything at all.
He obviously created us to fill his own needs, even though a god that is
everything is not supposed to have any needs because he has whatever he
wants the very instant he desires it, and being 'Love' itself, he needs no
love from anyone.
Heh. Christianity is a big cuckoo factory.

History books that contain no lies are extremely dull. The christian bible
is a very interesting book indeed.

Keep up with the times. The current boogeyman is the Liberals.
Excellent point but you need to pronounce it differently. " LIB er RULS" or
"Traitor" works as well.

If you keep up with the times you know that the term "commies" (lower
case 'c') is used extensively among Conservatives to denote "Liberals"
on the extreme FarLeft.

There are so few Neocons that the term is not meaningful. It is not

Possibly there are some leftovers from the heyday of the FarRight -
people like Buchanan and others from the Religious Right. But they are
irrelevant in today's politics.

It's not Commie Red anymore. It's Conservative red.
Since it was Conservatives who triumphed over the Commies in the Cold
War, we adopted their color as a sign of victory.
Anyway it's not the same color - Commie Red has more pink in it.
It's the "True Blue" Americans who support liberty and
freedom that seem to be in the minority.
How much "liberty and freedom" do you experience when the Demoncraps
put a gun to your head and steal your money to buy votes?

Or, for even MORE accurate results:
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election/countycartlinear.png
You can't count Wyoming's less than 1M people as more than Maryland that
has more than 6M people, just because Wyoming is larger. Those above
maps show what America would look like if all the states were resized
approximately according their populations. The second map I gave is the
counties resized according to populations. Wyoming is nearly nonexistant.
Please don't use land-area maps when discussing voting blocs. It's
inaccurate and deceptive.

No, I do not have any special definition. I define "omnipotent" as the
ability to act in every possible manner. However, any act must be
within the framework of objective reality if it involves objective
reality. IOW, God cannot be expected to act in a way that is
inconsistent with objective reality. What is "Objective Reality"? It
is Being, the Act of Existing.
Existence viewed in an objective manner cannot support contradictions.
You cannot have "A" and "Not-A" at the same time in objective reality.
Therefore God's omnipotence is a manifestation of all the acts that
can be done consistent with objective reality.

You certainly can, if you have the right faith.

inconsistent with objective reality. What is "Objective Reality"? It
is Being, the Act of Existing.
For example:
- Walking on water
- Feeding multitudes with 2 small loaves and a can of tuna
- Sending bears to kill children on orders of a bald man
- Speaking through non-burning burning bushes.
You were saying?
You are too dull to understand what you just said.
Ad hominem, again.
None of those things exist in objective reality.
So, according to your previous post, all those things are in the
"subjective world of fantasy"? I agree.

You are too dull to understand any of this.

Ah. So you have a special definition for "omnipotent" then.
No, I do not have any special definition. I define "omnipotent" as
the
ability to act in every possible manner.
Which is circular. Consider that the problem resides
in the proposed attribute "omnipotent" rather than
in the question about the rock.
However, any act must be
within the framework of objective reality if it involves objective
reality. IOW, God cannot be expected to act in a wa y that is
inconsistent with objective reality.
Really! Well objective reality says that donkeys and
serpents don't talk and the attributes omnipotence
and omniscience are mutually exclusive; that a world
wide flood never happened, that evolution is a fact
(and a theory), that the universe wasn't poofed into
existence by some "god." So I'm a little surprised
that you would invoke such a thing as objective
reality.
What is "Objective Reality"? It
is Being, the Act of Existing.
Oh well that clears that up.
Existence viewed in an objective manner cannot support
contradictions.
Like both knowing the future and being able
to change it?
You cannot have "A" and "Not-A" at the same time in objective
reality.
But your symbols here are not about objective
reality. They are symbols.
Therefore God's omnipotence is a manifestation of all the acts that
can be done consistent with objective reality.
In other words you DO have your own special definition of
omnipotent.
omnipotent (=C3=B2m-n=C3=AEp=CB=9De-tent) adjective
Having unlimited or universal power, authority,
or force; all-powerful. See Usage Note at infinite.
noun
1=2E One having unlimited power or authority:
The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language
Usage Note: Infinite is sometimes grouped
with absolute terms such as unique, absolute,
and omnipotent, since in its strict mathematical
sense it allows no degree modification or
comparison; one quantity cannot be more infinite
than another (though technically one infinite set
can be larger than another). Unlike other absolute
terms, however, infinite also does not permit
modification by adverbs such as nearly and almost;
mathematically, infinity is not approached by
degrees. In nontechnical usage, of course, infinite
is often used metaphorically to refer simply to an
unimaginably large degree or amount, and here
the comparison of the word is unexceptionable:
Listening to the late quartets on that little
gramophone, I experienced the most infinite
musical joy that I have ever known.

You are circular.
And you are too dull to understand Existential Metaphysics.
