Could he? What could we know about things that could or couldn’t have been? We can’t have even the slightest idea of what the existing realities were before time and space, we just can’t judge God’s creative process. We only know what is, and what God asks us to do in our world, that is to defend and protect the victims of the Evil.
But you don’t know what god wants from you. That’s the whole point. You are choosing to believe the words of some dudes in the desert 1700 years ago because they make you feel good. You don’t KNOW anything about God because it’s all speculation. Yes I know, that’s what faith is. But that’s not knowledge and to claim it as such is insulting. Every time I hear it.
You’re right “know” is not the good word. I don’t know if the Bible is true or not, I don’t know if God exists or not. I generally don’t use this word in this context, but there it slipped, sorry for that.
But I did not chose to believe because it makes me feel good. To say that is far more insulting than what I said.
You don’t have to respect any God, any religion. But if you don’t respect someone because he or she believes different things than you, what does that makes you?
It is most gratifying to me that you feel like your imaginary sky wizard is a he, only a man could be such a colossal screw up. Thanks for bone cancer and parasitic worms, sky guy!
A baby is born with no skin and its heart on the outside of its body. You worship the being that does that. You worship the being that does that every day?

Since when do we need to respect adults imaginary friends? Grow the fuck up.

Respect is earned.
That’s a sad point of view.
That’s your opinion, isn’t it?
If he couldn’t, then he’s not all powerful is he
And if god was asking people to behave morally and ethically, then people wouldn’t be doing so many terrible things in his name
If he exists, then he’s doing a fucking awful job
You’re making a judgment about something no human can comprehend. It’s your right of course, but doesn’t seem rational to me.
Or he does a very good job giving us freedom.

I do not feel like God is male.
A baby is born with no skin and its heart on the outside of its body. You worship the being that does that. You worship the being that does that every day?
Why do you think that God does that?
There is no God. And if there was, they arent deserving of respect, let alone worship.
