If a father leaves an open bottle of alcohal on the table and his son or daughter drinks it even after the father told them not to, does that mean the intent was to have them drink the alcohal?
Quote:So he wants worshipped for doing **** all? I mean at least Apollo pulled the Sun across the sky. God apparently said "this is a fun ant farm, I can't wait for it to burn itself down" and started playing XBox.
I'm not really sure how else to say it. God offered us salvation which negates any finite suffering we experience here on earth. I wouldnt call that "doing nothing".
Quote:So the alternative he provides is vague promises of salvation if you follow his (often contradicting) set of rules and worship without question, while also exercising free will with all of human's innate flaws?
Yeah, no. Those are the actions of a benevolent being.
The alternative he provides is the thing we seek everyday, yet cannot fulfill ourselves. Yet we would rather have sin over that. Why?
