I'm sorry rhutchin but your feeble attempts to convince us of the truthfulness of your position are falling far short of the mark that needs to be reached to make us re-evaluate our positions. What we have seen is your desire to control how others behave. In a world where people are not attempting to control how you behave it just won't do old bean.

What a funny world you envision! You can go to every funeral and laugh about how you lied to the poor sucker and how his butt is being fried because he believed you.

Or have you changed you mind on this one as well?
What wouldn't happen? How about providing a little context here.

So nothing has changed since I posted this:

So you have reduced Biblegod to the level of an elaborate prankster. Keep going - you're making him look even more ridiculous a prospect for worship than the Bible does.

You still haven't presented an argument that makes Biblegod look like anything other than this. I'm sorry rhutchin but it is you that has screwed up.

It is a shame that you aren't paying close attention to our incapability to love Biblegod if it turns out that God exists, and that he is Biblegod. Try reading it carefully this time.

Convince you?? You can believe whatever you want. You can make all the bad decisions you want. I just think everyone should know what is going on and should have the opportunity to make a good decision - especially about that which happens after they die.

But you haven't presented an in-any-way convincing case that you have any idea what is going on. We "know" that you don't seem to know what you are talking about.

I can see another false dichotomy on the horizon.

....and Pascal is due to make his latest appearance.

This is all to predictable - give us an argument that isn't itself recycled please - this is boring.

I'm not so sure actually. After all, we have a person here who is openly saying that he would like to see the execution of a large amount of the contributors to this forum, for nothing more than exercising their right to voice their opinion & yet he himself has said that he believes himself to be a "decent, & god-loving" person! It's really quite amazing how deluded some people can be!
