Failed to see the problem? What problem did he fail to see exactly?
Quote:I'm not; looking for fairness would mean trying to understand what I believe to be a fictional intent. That's like trying to say Voldermort was being fair or unfair; it doesn't matter because it's made up.
It does matter, because you don't know if it's made up.
Even if it was, people argue about fictional characters all the time. Seems to me like you're just coping out at this point. You seemed to care enough to discuss the omniscience and omnipotence and benevolence of his character, but now suddenly it's "I don't care about fairy tales".
Quote:Omniscience means he knew exactly what would happen and let it happen anyway. That is 100% intentional. If I'm knowingly putting explosive materials next to an open flame, there's clear intent.
Except it doesn't.
You said "If I'm knowingly putting explosive materials next to an open flame, there's clear intent."
Clear intent of what exactly? Until you state your intentions nobody knows what your intent was. It's just speculation.
Quote:Do you want exact quotes or talk about the differences between Old and New Testaments?
Not looking for a laundry list. Just a few examples.
Quote:I'm not accusing God of anything anymore than I'm accusing Darth Vader of anything. Accusing a fictional character of anything is simply speculation at best. I'm just making talking points. At the end of the day, your faith (in general, not YOU specifically) doesn't bother me in the slightest. As long as it's not being forced on anyone against their will.
You are though. You're literally making claims against God, fictional or not.
