Milos Cakovan replied to Bo Fowler's discussion 'A new argument against God?'"Of course it is not an atheist stance. Good thing when atheists use this kind of argument they tend to say "IF there is a god, he is a jerk.""
Mike 2000 replied to Bo Fowler's discussion 'A new argument against God?'"I agree, and this is the problem with most "atheist" arguments that pop up on this site. "There is a god, and he is a jerk" is not an atheist stance. It's trite to point out that kindness doesn't play a role…"

I need only assert my lack of faith in its existence.

Tom Sarbeck replied to Bo Fowler's discussion 'A new argument against God?'"Stutz, convene the court.
You provided the jury with the evidence they need to find the theists' god guilty of dereliction of duty, misfeasance, malfeasance and nonfeasance.

Stutz replied to Bo Fowler's discussion 'A new argument against God?'"The differences between human parents and an omnipotent God present some problems for this comparison.
Letting children have freedom is a good strategy so that children can learn to deal with a dangerous world that the parents did not create and do…"
Stutz replied to Bo Fowler's discussion 'A new argument against God?'"A god without goodness contradicts most commonly held definitions of God in the Abrahamic tradition. So it's not totally worthless. Is the problem of evil similarly an argument not worth having?"
Tom Sarbeck replied to Bo Fowler's discussion 'A new argument against God?'"Interesting, bubble-wrapping children can range from abusive to caring.

___ replied to Bo Fowler's discussion 'A new argument against God?'"A good parent will let his/her child have freedom, even though that means that they may suffer.

___ replied to Bo Fowler's discussion 'A new argument against God?'"It only suggest a good without goodness, not a good without existence.

The Little Old Lady
Posted on March 3, 2013 at 11:31am 1 Comment 0 Likes
I knew a little old lady who believed, till the day she died, that there was a God in heaven and thus everything was good with the world.
And yet this same little old lady could never convince herself that the light in her fridge went off when she closed the door.
Go figure.

I was seeing this girl who was kind of odd; she had pen nibs instead of nipples.
During sex she'd write things in blue all over my duvet. The first night she wrote: The ironsmith fashions it and works it over the coals, he shapes it with hammers and forges it with his strong arm: he becomes hungry and his strength fails, he drinks no
The second night she wrote: water and is faint. The carpenter stretches a line, he marks it out with a…

In the late evening of a balmy spring day God was found face down in the sky, dead to the world.
Attempts at resuscitation were unsuccessful.
The police conducted some initial investigations and then stood around self-consciously.
The world religions bickered.
Muslims wanted God buried straight away. Hindus wanted him burnt. Mormons proposed cloning…
