your proof of God. scripture claims God made man and since your existence has no scientific explanation that by default makes you a supernatural creature and proof of God.

Quote (CPK001 @ May 1 2023 11:00am)

God created things which had free will. That means creatures which can go either wrong or right. Some people think they can imagine a creature which was free but had no possibility of going wrong; I cannot. If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. A world of automata-of creatures that worked like machines-would hardly be worth creating. The happiness which God designs for His higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to Him and to each other in an ecstasy of love and delight compared with which the most rapturous love between a man and a woman on this earth is mere milk and water. And for that they must be free.

Of course God knew what would happen if they used their freedom the wrong way: apparently He thought it worth the risk. Perhaps we feel inclined to disagree with Him. But there is a difficulty about disagreeing with God. He is the source from which all your reasoning power comes: you could not be right and He wrong any more than a stream can rise higher than its own source. When you are arguing against Him you are arguing against the very power that makes you able to argue at all: it is like cutting off the branch you are sitting on. If God thinks this state of war in the universe a price worth paying for free will-that is, for making a live world in which creatures can do real good or harm and something of real importance can happen, instead of a toy world which only moves when He pulls the strings-then we may take it it is worth paying.

"You have free will but if you don't obey a single word I tell you I'll fking kill you and murder your family" - loving god.

"You have free will to do as you please but if you don't pay me money and be my slave I'll cut your balls off and feed them to your kids" - mostly peaceful and loving terrorist.

Corporate needs you to spot the difference.

(macro) evolution is an untestable idea and therefore unscientific

I love how you expect God to be a bubbly loving forgiver who let's everything slide.

God is just in all things. He's just in those that He loves and those that He hates.

I love how you cherry pick Bible to justify any atrocities.

Gets pointed to a violent mass murdering psychotic God
Response: oh old testament doesn't apply in new testament god is a forgiver, turn the other cheek etc.

Gets pointed out how twisted and sadistic bible's version of free will is
Response: God isn't always bubbly you know and he doesn't forgive.

uppity snot nosed atheist looked at God and told him "we dont need you any more"
to that God replied "o? hows that"
uppity snot nosed atheist: "we progressed far enough that we dont need you. we even know how to make life"
God: "o is that so? why dont you show me?"
uppity snot nosed atheist: "ok i will" (he then proceeds to pick up a hand full of dirt)
God: "what do you think your doing? thats my dirt, get your own dirt"

If there is a god, you clearly misheard him when he said he was passing out brains. You thought he said "trains" and said give me a small one I don't know how to use one.

Riveting tale. Would love to see you explain how land ownership works to the bank.

Bank: pay your mortgage or this house land and the dirt will be repossessed.
Tistuff: it belongs to God it's his dirt...
Police officer: see this taser?
