2. Says "His" book of propaganda. Where's Satan's side to the story?
3. That god's done so much evil shit, I'm not sure I'd want to be in his presence for eternity anyway.

Why does Heavens attorney general have to cater to your incessent demands when they have better things to do than talk to some mortal?

Well I'm gonna stick with logic on this one and assume that's not the case until there's evidence to the contrary.

Besides, the Abrahamic god is a dick anyways so it's not like we'd be much worse off :p

You've clearly never met the god to whom children were set on fire for aka Molech.

Sorry Necromancy is always considered an evil act, thems the rules.
Well...unless we're talking about a God of Death here.

Except necromancy is communicating with the dead to predict the future.

Raising the dead is something far more different, and I don't remember Saul visiting the Witch of Endor to do that.

I can't speak for Pruss, but I don't think I'd want to talk to God if he's that much of an asshole :lol2:

I'm wondering, if I have the power to kill God do I become the new head honcho? Is that how these things work? Because I've always wanted to slam some galaxies together.

Funny thing: I've tried to talk to the bastard for most of the years of my life.

Another funny thing: I never heard anything back.

Which, you know, is kind of typical for people with average mental health. Not hearing voices.

Those couple peoples(called Canaanites) were given millenia to change their evil ways (being hedonistic and decadent and such),but they did not. With the Israelites coming in to the Promised Land, God ordered them to wipe them out to prevent their vaunted polytheism and immorality from infecting Israel and making them forget about God, who was the One who brought them out of slavery in Egypt.

:arrow: Right! It's just like how those accursed Tutsis had all the chances in the world to stop being Tutsi and exerting silent hegemony over Rwanda, but they didn't and instead chose to be an infection upon the God-blessed Hutu race and as a result deserved everything they got.

And the Flood was done to destroy the evil people, sparing only eight people in the Ark. These eight were righteous, but the rest of humanity in their time was hedonistic and corrupted. They did not turn from their evil ways even after 125 years of Noah trying to tell them to repent.

:arrow: So you'd be down with God wiping out everyone you've ever known and love with the exception of a couple close family members for not paying enough? Are you saying that the slaughter of hundreds of millions is ethically justifiable punishment for not following the dictates of a cranky old sky-bastard?


You're trying to justify that which is unjustifiable.

Well, the will of God is there, which may be much deeper than just numerous deaths. I personally don't know much about his will.

Nice link. I agree that "religion" and "spirituality" is just scientifically-explainable brain activity.

But Gim, if you're hearing God talk to you, I strongly recommend you see a psychiatrist.
