Sticks and stones Dive.

Besides, everyone at RHP knows that you and FMF are the two most annoying people on this site. The creepy way in which you guys defend each other, while using bizarre pet names like "master", is but one reason that you two top the list of aggravation and irritation.

Some 'doofus' named Dive informed me that God provided the chromosome. Another 'doofus' named FMF says it was a miracle.

If you accept that the creator of a thread doesn't own his creation, why should that be any different for God and his relationship with man? - I'm assuming you don't think a mother owns her child, so again, why does God own man and feel at moral liberty to destroy him at will?
God made Man from the dust and gifted him with life. This is a little different than creating a thread on the internet, which is mostly crap anyway, or even reproducing, which in our case, is just a possible side-effect of having sex, which could be argued to be a rather selfish thing. Are you claiming that Man is now God? Maybe only in his own mind, which could be a reason why the human condition is still as poor as it is.

I dunno.
Both examples appeal to the idea of free will

Not not really. I think this thread was intended for people who know who he is and who are interested in talking about it. However there seems to be no one here with that particular combination of knowledge and desire! 🙂

Serious question. Why do you think it is so poor amongst Christians?

The income disparity gap keeps down those on the lower end.

These could be Christian or not. I do not see that those who are poor are overwhelmingly Christian. Many are, because they are Catholic, but their choice of religion is most likely meaningless as a reason why they are held down.

Edit: Yes, I know you were responding to a post talking more about poor as in QoL, and not poor, as in income, per se. I really cannot be convinced that most who struggle with a poor QoL are necessarily Christian. QoL is composed of many things, an important one is attitude, or outlook. Christians, as a group, have a better attitude than those who are not, regardless of income, this is just my opinion, YMMV*.

Sorry. I misunderstood your earlier post. I thought you were speaking of human condition in regards to morality.

Aaah, now I see why you asked.

But it seems the point still stands, in a way. Christian morality is not nearly as random as atheist morality. It may be misbegotten or misdirected, but it is not random.

Christian morality is founded on the random and often contradictory behaviour of their chosen deity.

I'll take atheist morality any day of the week.

There is such a lot diversity and inconsistency between the ideas, utterances and deeds of Christians, it may as well be 'random', I think.

Atheist morality: everyone is god of their own little universe, so everyone decides for themselves what is right and wrong. Lots of contradiction there.

I don't think you fared very well when you tried to discuss this assertion when you were posting as Fetchmyjunk. Are you hoping to have another go at discussing it?
