114. You keep quoting the bible...
You do realize the bible also promotes stoning and misogony among other unsavory things?
You can't just quote bible at us without accepting its warts too.
And if God is all-knowing, why did he get so angry at men when they disobeyed? Didn't he know it was going to happen? Isn't he God? Doesn't he know whether we're going to go to Hell or not? Isn't he God? Doesn't he know?
I hated the movie 'Star Trek V' but the 'What does God need with a starship' argument actually is a pretty damn good one.
Punishment for your emotions is just asinine. But a lot of things in the bible are asinine. I'm sorry, but noone can regulate their emotions. If a man kills your family, and you get angry at him, and then he kills you too, by your logic, you would go instantly to hell because you got mad at this guy who killed your family. Cause, you know, we're supposed to be God, too?
We pretty much end up in hell for anything. Our only way out of it is to believe in Jesus. But then there are SO SO many people in the world who never have any realistic opportunity to become Christians.
So they all get funnelled into hell by the bucketload.
Why do people feel the need to ascribe the worst of human emotions to God? Pettiness, judgementalism, narrowmindedness, hate, sadism.
So what DOES God need with a starship?
