@TrevorSheatz I don’t need a rule book to tell me not to kill, rape and commit genocide. I know better than your own god that it is wrong as I have never done or advocated for either yet your god has.
@CreatorJonwPuck@jasontestifies@race002 Earth’s curvature means sea level isn’t a single flat plane extending through space. “Level” follows Earth’s gravitational field, so the direction we call down points roughly toward Earth’s centre. That’s why the ocean can curve around the Earth while remaining level everywhere.
@joeknowscryptos@UgoCannon My own actions. I have guilt to those I have wronged, debts to those I owe and moral responsibility to every living thing. I like truth and to point out people’s inconsistencies if you view that as an attack what does that say about you? Notice you get personal and I rise above.
@VChristianus@darwintojesus I never said I deserve the treatment of prophets. Your own religion claims ordinary people witnessed miracles, from healings to seeing Jesus multiply food. Apparently God could provide them extraordinary evidence without compromising faith or free will.Why selectively withhold i?
@VChristianus@darwintojesus Nor am I claiming I “deserve” a prophet’s treatment. You’ve missed the point: if direct revelation is compatible with free will and relationship with God, then “God must remain hidden” needs another explanation. Why does a loving God selectively provide vastly different evidence?
@VChristianus@darwintojesus I’m not asking God to bow to my requirements. I’m asking why a God who supposedly wants a relationship with me, is omniscient and omnipotent, chooses not to provide reason for me to believe He exists. Those aren’t my assumptions about God, they’re claims made by your religion 1/2
@Tsar_Martyr Where did athiesm or I claim that? Or are you referring to an atheist saying something? Straw manning atheism just makes you look ignorant.
@VChristianus@darwintojesus And “faith” doesn’t solve this. God supposedly revealed himself far more directly to others without removing their free will. So why selectively remain hidden from me? Whatever explains God’s hiddenness must also explain why that same reason didn’t prevent those revelations. 3/3
@VChristianus@darwintojesus I don’t need to define exactly what evidence would convince me. That’s the point of omniscience: God would already know. If God knows what would convince me, is capable of providing it, and genuinely wants a relationship with me, why am I still sincerely unconvinced? 2/3
