@zb I concur

It’s like little kids saying “well my dad can beat up your dad, he’s so amazing he can do MAGIC and … ANYTHING”

“my god can beat up your god, he’s so amazing he can do MAGIC and … ANYTHING”

Well your dad can do some “trick”s but he certainly can’t do “ANYTHING” (ie “everything”), and your view of god is just as childish.

Anyway that’s my theology (or one of them)

We may think God is infinite, all-powerful, etc. but that may just be because we don’t understand Him very well.

I don’t know what you are talking about … the fact is magic invisible purple rats in tu-tus created the universe with pixie dust In their wisdom they created you to think that you created the universe.

PS… I know what you are thinking …here is the answer — If you could see them they would be purple — I am happy to help on this point of theology.

Paperboy, when I created this universe, I had intended your comment to be the culminating point of all existence. Now that I actually see the comment, I feel a little let down. It’s not really what I had envisioned. Ah, well, back to the drawing board. Maybe next time around I’ll have you post your comment in boldface.

Arvy, perhaps Palin feels that believing in “right to life” is itself a deliberate choice.

Which is certainly not unreasonable, give the number of people who think that homosexuality is a deliberate choice.

(or… maybe they just choose to believe it’s a choice)

Mark, technically you are correct. Every intentional action (or inaction) represents a choice. But I would contend that there are a great many actions for which the average person would honestly answer “x isn’t even an option,’ and if something isn’t an option then you can’t honestly say you chose not to do it.

I think people would be horrified (and rightly so) if Palin had said, I’m glad I decided not to suffocate my baby after it was born, but if one believes that abortion is murder then I fail to see how one can explain the difference between that and what she really did say.

Here’s the facts: God is all, but can’t create other consciousnesses. He can make Himself forget and imagine a universe where there are others, who seem to do unexpected things, until his memory returns. Yes, YOU are God; all others are merely aspects of yourself. You are writing this to yourself. Do you remember yet, or does the game go on?

So God created man, purposefully creating him to have free will and to be rebellious. And God had full knowledge that man was rebellious and given one and only one command would break it. And God, knowing full well what would happen, put man in the garden and gave him one command and then got all angry when he broke it.

What do we learn from this, students?

1. God will set you up to fail.
2. God will punish you severly when you fail.
3. God is cruel.

Next week we will study the Book of Job and learn how God will do evil things to you just to win a bet, and then get angry with you and yell at you even when he wins.

See, the problems Christians have is why I like Eastern philosophies. Karma makes a lot more sense to me than sin.
