Anger towards God

@FMF

"It's clearly either intended for fellow believers, like a kind of for-the-choir virtue signalling about one's supposed rhetorical pugnacity, regardless of its credibility, or ~ if it's really said in earnest ~ it's simply a non-sequitur."

Clearly that's an insult directed at believers in Jesus Christ, no?

I mean, it can't possibly be true that non-believers are, or may be, angry at God. After all, a non-believer doesn't believe God exists. So, logically, how could, or why, would a non-believer bother being angry at/with/towards an entity that doesn't exist?

If I were a non-believer I'd be offended, much less just a little annoyed by the assertion.

Now, I don't recall ever making that assertion. If I ever did, then I retract.

Anyway, I think the question of whether or not one is angry with God should be direct towards believers. Doesn't that make more sense?

And I would feel sorry for any believer that may be immature enough to presume to be angry with God as though there was some fault in Him.

Satisfied? Let's move on.

It's a critique of the sloppy rhetoric that sonship is using.

@fmf said
sonship has been claiming that I am "angry" with Jesus and "angry" with God, incessantly, for over a decade here.

@secondson said
Fine, but will you deny that you make critical comments directed at his person?

@fmf said
Take it up with sonship.

@secondson said
Sounds like a personal dispute between you and him.

@secondson said
I'm taking it up with you. It's part of my reply to your OP.

@fmf said
When I think sonship is being low-integrity, I say so.

@fmf said
What you are taking up with me needs to be taken up with sonship because I obviously don't think atheists are "burning with anger" at sonship's God ~ it's sonship who thinks that. You seem to be too much of a coward to tackle him on it.

@secondson said
And it may very well be true, but it's a side issue in my opinion.

And as you like to say, take it up with sonship. Having said that, I choke on it because it doesn't do anything except create a rabbit trail.

From now on I'm staying out of other's disputes.

Coward?
