10 things INTELLEGENT christians can't answer

LOL!

 

Yeahh I know man, I talked about free will earlier; It's just an idea that's on the same ground as wlbd's "God could have made us perfect", I mean, I can't go totally against either side, I'm kind of neutral. I don't think it's too bad a point, really; in the idea of an amazingly all-powerful God who created existence, it could've been perfect. I can't perfectly defend why it isn't, I can't defend why people need to struggle in life, I can only try to throw things at it.

I liked your answers.

haha good pics duckandmiss, sheeyit

 

Well, that's kind of the whole argument wbld et al are putting forward. We talked about it elsewhere as the anthropomorphism of god. What he's basically saying is: "If I were God, I wouldn't do [x], therefore if [x] happens, it can't have been done by God, therefore God can't exist." Aside from the "god moves in mysterious ways" angle, there's other factors. God may be argued by religious texts as being the three Os - omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent - but again, it's an assumption; if god is simply the creator of our universe, need he actually be omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient? Is it actually hard to create a universe? My thinking here is that these kinds of atheists tend to set very specific criteria for what god is - rather than discuss it - as a means to prove that he can't exist. It's a kind of logical passive-aggressivism.

 

You're right, it's just a bit of the Christian assumption that God would actually be omnipotent, not that they could actually claim so and be certain anyway. It doesn't really disprove the existence of any God, other than half-disprove the all powerful Christian one
