Matthew 5:22 - But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
I think "a piece of trash" is even worse than "Thou fool".
Originally posted by LemonJello i really don't understand why you keep making this fallacious argument; it only makes you look like an idiot.
first of all, the argument is blatantly false: if your arbitrary god turns out to be an illusion, then why can't somebody else's 'arbitrary' god turn out to be real? his god will damn you for eternity to some alternate hell for being a ' ...[text shortened]... n how you can make the above argument (that you keep making) and not look like a complete idiot.

Would you please quote the words any other God that are written down which damn anybody to an eternity in hell fire.

the validity of your argument does not rest on any formal establishment of religion. the god i just thought up and scribbled on my napkin is no less or more arbitrary than your own.
could you try staying on track and answering the actual question i posed earlier? maybe if you answer my question, i'll be more apt to answer yours.

I disagree here. My God is the God of the Bible. Your napkin cannot be compared to the Bible. That is why I say that you might be able to compare it maybe to the Koran or some other religious book.

oh i see. so if a bunch of people get together and draw a god on a napkin that means he is valid. but if one person draws a god on a napkin, that is just art.
you just can't see how arbitrary your beliefs really are.

I suggest you read the book WHY I BELIEVE by Dr. James Kennedy. You will hopefully realise that the Bible is not simply a bunch of people getting together to draw on a napkin.

noted.

and maybe someday you will realize that my beliefs are not simply drawings on napkins either. and someday maybe you will be able to think for yourself and you will actually inspect with a critical eye the dogma you shovel around.

Maybe it is but they are not mutually exclusive. I don't worry toooooooo much about hellfire; since the God of the OT is almost certainly a figment of the ancient Israelites' fertile imagination, I don't much worry about the punishments in that book anymore than I worry what Zeus or Baal might do to me. If there is a God, I seriously doubt he's the irrational, petty, jealous one you worship, so I figure he'll know that ignorant bigots like RBHILL are a piece of trash and the most I'll get from Him for saying so is a High-Five and an ice cold Miller High Lite.

I might reincarnate as a frog.
I might become a god and make my own universe and make up my own moral rules for my creations to obey.
