Actually this was the point in contention that FMJ keeps dodging.:Is it possible to have an objective standard for the conception of God?

Why is Jesus considered to be God to some, but not to others?
Why do we consider the Egyptians to be wrong by worshipping Rah, instead of God?

Would you like a list of questions that I have asked you that you have not even attempted to answer? I can think of more than one. 😉
It's dishonest. It's what you do.
Originally posted by ThinkOfOneFor starters, FMJ should explain why God is more likely to be true than Buddha.

Originally posted by ThinkOfOneWhen you are faced with a question you cannot address you label it 'spurious'. Not dishonest at all.

When faced with the following...
You don't have to "write a book". Just make a case for YOUR conception of God.
Of course, it seems likely that you realize that you don't have an objective standard for the conception of God and this is just a way for you to avoid having to admit it.
You responded with...
What's with all the red herrings? We can end this whole discussion with a simple question. Was the holocaust objectively wrong? Yes or No?
How exactly is that NOT a spurious question?

My concept of God is based on the Bible. Nothing gets added or removed from the Bible. It's about as absolute or unchanging as you can get.
There are tens of thousands of denominations of Christianity having different conceptions of God that are based on the Bible. Some are vastly different. How do you know yours is correct? Do you have an objective standard for the conception of God?

Originally posted by KellyJayFMJ said the bible was absolute due to nothing being added or removed. I don't need to believe in God to understand this is incorrect. In the formation of the bible, it was man, not God, who decided which books to include and which to exclude (almost certainly to fit the agenda of the day). No doubt if the bible had been put together 20 years later it would contain a number of different books than it does today. (With just as many contradictions and horrors).
Since you reject God is real, I doubt you would accept God's involvement at any level.
