It turns out that Christianity is correct. God is real. And the man who knocked on your door is actually God. He tells you "As I have judged Man, so too shall Man judge Me." You are then handed a big red button labeled "Kill God." Do you push the button?

Keep in mind, you don't know how this will affect the afterlife, the material universe, and people's souls. What happens to dead people? What happens to the living? You don't know. All you know is that God will cease to exist if you push the button. Will you push it?

I personally would push the button. I feel that this would be a logical conclusion to an existence of subservience to God, and simply inevitable.


YOU KNOW 100% THAT GOD IS REAL AND THE MAN WITH THE BIG BUTTON IS GOD IN THIS SCENARIO.

GOD WON'T DESTROY THE WORLD OR KILL YOU IF YOU PUSH THE BUTTON. HOWEVER, THE WORLD OR YOU MAY CTE AS A NATURAL CONSEQUENCE OF GOD'S DEATH, BUT YOU CANNOT BE SURE OF THIS.


For posing a question like that, it is no wonder your nation has CTE.... Perhaps GOD may have decided to get you first. :rofl:

P.S...........Also there was the Twilight Zone episode "Button, Button" you seem to have partially plagiarized by just substituting God. http://www.tv.com/shows/the-twilight-zo ... 284/recap/

It is the solemn and patriotic duty of all true Americans to prevent the election of Donald J. Trump as the next President of the United States by use of the ballot box.
Even if it means you might have to be called for jury duty!

Ancient Israelites were allowed to have slaves as long as they treated them nicely. If they beat the slaves they face punishment.

The Canaanites deserved genocide, as they have been given so many years (2000 years) to change from their immoral and hedonistic ways, and yet they refused. The people in the Flood deserved to die as they are murderers themselves. Genesis tells us that He regreted creating these violent people and proceeded to destroy them all except for Noah, his sons, wife, and daughters in law, who were the only rightous people left on Earth that time.

Justification for genocide is not justification at all, merely admission of guilt.

Allow me to expand on I previously stated. So you're advocating the genocide of those who don't conform to your narrow definitions of morality and righteousness?

Even assuming that Canaan was as terrible a place as the Bible says it was, how is it righteous to commit genocide against people who you ignored for two millennium? Why would anyone think that this will make them start worshipping you? We know that people are heavily influenced by how they're raised, so how is it slaughtering people in cold blood for being raised in a situation that your neglect caused, and which your refusal to intervene perpetuated, righteous or justified?

Well if we're talking about the Christian God this wouldn't make sense because God is supposed to be immortal, as in He can't permanently die.

Arguably, it could be. There are certain groups (IIRC Kirshna Consciousness is one of them) which claim that the Christian Godnis the same as Krishna, or other Hindu deities.
