Matthew Le God

It would be horrific. Like a celestial North Korea having to worship someone for eternity against your will. At least you can die and leave North Korea.

Because some people in this thread are kinda having a discussion. You are just here and popping up with the occasional insult irrelevant to the subject matter.

Neither you or he have explained what he thinks he is free from.

One other or more? Positions?

Petty insult again... well done! You would be a credit to any debating society!

You can't make comparisons between two things if you only know what one of them is! 🙄

Utter nonsense 1) In order to formulate what a test should consist of you need to know what you are testing for 2) We don't live in a religious totalitarian state, so I do have the right to question him if I want to

As we don't know what Raging Bull is saying he believes he is free from you can't make comparisons. Even if we did know it is unlikely to be comparable to love so is a complete non sequitur.

Enlighten us then

So a random opinion based on nothing? That is helpful to the discussion!

Until we know what he is claiming to be free from a test cannot be devised.

1) Please try to not resort to petty insults 2) Yes, and I have an idea where you are trying to go with this and it is flawed

Explain why it is asinine? Because it really isn't.

At no point have I said he doesn't believe he is free from something. I've said... we don't know what he things he is free from and as we don't know what it is we can't determine if he actually is free from it or just delusional.

So you opted for the petty insult rather than a rebuttal to the point you quoted!

We still need to know what he thinks he is free from. Perhaps he is delusional?

Because he is a wind-up merchant who likes to repeat the same fundamentally flawed arguments despite being rebutted with facts as you do, but unlike you he possibly doesn't believe everything he says?

The religious like to take things away from logic and towards irrationality... because that is how they attempt to justify their unfounded beliefs.

I have a right to freedom of speech. So if I want to question someone... I will. You appear to want some kind of religious totalitarian system where people can't be questioned for their beliefs. That isn't a healthy society. If people's beleifs can not hold up to scrutity under questioning perhaps they are flimsy beliefs and should be discarded!

You are missing a key thing here. Atheists are more than happy to say 'I don't know' to a question, they then go about looking to find evidence to answer the question. That is not the same of the religious, they use God as an answer to questions they don't have the evidence for. That is answering a mystery with a bigger mystery and doesn't provide an answer at all!

Back with the petty insults! Are petty insults allowed in Bible college? 🙄 Have a go and explain why I am wrong when I say that an all knowing creator God is contradictory to free will? I'm open to changing my mind if you construct a solid rebuttal.

I have a right to question him if I wish. You do need to know what the belief is in order to respect it. Respect shouldn't be blind, it should be earned!

Do you think beliefs influence actions? Do you believe actions influence wider society?

That doesn't hold together as a meaningful question that is possible to answer if you read it word for word. What are you asking?
