Looks to me like you are on the verge of the lightbulb going on as to where to go now that this paradigm doesn't work for you...Dastardly
If he were the type of “all knowing” people say he is then that shouldn’t be a problem. He should be able to put it in a way that people would get it. He can’t be said to be good if he puts it in a way he knows people will not get and then complain those who can’t possibly understand as much as he are too stupid to get it and thus deserve his wrath. That’s abuse, not love.

So he’s not all knowing nor good? Sounds about right all things considered.

Re: Francesca Stavrakopoulou - Book - "God An Anatomy"
Not in human anthropomorphic sense, probably not... you need to quit looking at the God man has made in his image I would suspect. At least that is the angle I am working on for now... none of the man made gods match up, again, rather obviously, so why worry about what they do or do not comport to?dastardly stem wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 2:13 amSo he’s not all knowing nor good?

What is God if not a man-made imagined idea? How would anyone know?At least that is the angle I am working on for now... none of the man made gods match up, again, rather obviously, so why worry about what they do or do not comport to?

Then atheism seems to be the only reasonable conclusion it appears. It seems if we can't reason our way to God all we have is an assumed imagined idea.Philo Sofee wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 1:35 pmGood questions... I dunnodastardly stem wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 2:36 pm
