@mikehenson819 First, I do not worship anyone or anything. If you want Honest dialog, don’t act like a child. Sure, science doesn’t have all the answers, but it is our most reliable method. No holy book has ever over turned science, right? I never claimed anyone died and left me in charge. But you’re not bothering to answer why you worship the god of slavery either.

@mikehenson819 So, you don’t have good reasons why you worship the god of slavery? Is it because you are unaware of what the Bible actually says?

@son_of_hiskingdom5092 Tell me, what belief or position could one not justify through faith? I’m asking to demonstrate that it isn’t useful in determining whether a belief is true, but it does raise confidence that the belief is true….even when it isn’t true. For example, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity all require faith, yet they all disagree. They can’t all be right, they can all be wrong. So, faith in each case for believers in different traditions, value faith similarly as you. Yet, we can’t use faith to determine whether any is actually true. Would you agree?

@mikehenson819 If you worship the god of the Bible, then indeed you worship the god that made slavery, owning another person as property, lawful. If nothing you can say would convince me, why are you so convinced? I’ve already told you I do not worship. Why would you again suggest I do? Are you angry with me for not believing as you do? Even though your god hasn’t allowed me to? I’m not sure why you think my existence means nothing. It certainly does to me. It does to me family. Something isn’t beautiful or valuable because it lasts. It becomes more valuable because it doesn’t. Now, you’ve been needlessly rude. Please consider the questions I pose, maybe after you feel less defensive.

@mikehenson819 Sorry, Mike. I understand you believe those things. But you believe without warrant. Yes, we will all die one day. That is why the current life we have has value. And should not be wasted worshipping immoral and imaginary beings. You reject my direct accusation of your god being the god of slavery. But Exodus lays out the Laws of God. And Exodus 21 made it lawful to own people as property. And lawful to beat the slaves, so long as they didn’t die. Slaves could be purchased from the Heathen around them, and female slaves could be taken after the rest of her family was slaughtered. Sure, there were rules to release Hebrew males after six years. But not Heathens. Or females. Or the children of the females. So, yes. I do wonder why this is overlooked by people that still believe. Nowhere are these rules negated or overturned. Even the NT suggests slaves obey their earthly masters with all fear. Not only the kind, but the cruel. This suffering is unjust, but lawful?

@son_of_hiskingdom5092 Stop. Please. You’re not into theology, but then quote theology. You claim to reject the Bible, but whatever you think you know about Jesus could only come from the Bible. Which is really just hearsay. Faith, is increasing confidence in a belief, regardless of whether or not the belief is true. Faith is having insufficient reason to believe, but believing just the same. And please, answer this honestly…. What belief cannot be justified by faith? Hinduism, Judaism, Islam….all depend on faith. From the outside, there is not reason to accept them. Right?

@son_of_hiskingdom5092 Suggesting the Bible is alive suggests you don’t really have a grasp on reality. I would agree that the gospels are of unknown authors, and have been copied and edited, and copied and edited, and books were arranged and included or rejected based on a narrative. You’d be hard pressed to accept supernatural claims based on such hearsay. Unless you’re already indoctrinated.
2
@son_of_hiskingdom5092 We know the names associated with the gospels, it those are not the authors. Your Bible should already acknowledge this, and like does. The only thing you could,possibly know about Jesus comes from anonymous sources. There are no contemporary writings about Jesus outside of the Bible. You’re accepting claims with the level of evidence that you wouldn’t accept from any other religion. Do you know who Paulogia is?
2
@son_of_hiskingdom5092 I’m way better informed on this topic than you are. And I can demonstrate it. But why do you worship the god of slavery? Why is it believers can never answer this directly?
2
@son_of_hiskingdom5092 Better check your sources on whether the gospels are anonymous.
2
@mikehenson819 Yes, you had your answers settled…without warrant. You have had questions, but used unreliable methods to form conclusions. And, you can’t explain why you’d worship a god that makes slavery permissible by law.

Slavery is god’s word. Do you love slavery?

@mikehenson819 People of terrible beliefs aren’t protected from the consequences of holding and sharing such beliefs. Science happens to be our most reliable method for understanding reality. Do you care to explain why you worship the god of slavery?
1
@mikehenson819 I’m questioning YOUR claims of the existence of a potter. I’m question why anyone would worship an agency that thinks slavery is moral.

@nikkid4890 Are you capable and willing to have honest dialog? Can you identify the difference between an atheist and a satanist? Do you even understand those are not the same thing?
1
@son_of_hiskingdom5092 That is circular reasoning, isn’t it? The Bible says it’s god’s word, therefore it is god’s word? And you don’t even know who the authors were. Right?
1
@son_of_hiskingdom5092 You never bothered to address why you would worship the god of slavery.
1
@son_of_hiskingdom5092 I don’t worship your god though. So, your claim cannot be true. It sounds like you’re saying that even though your god is immoral enough to make slavery permissible by law, a book told you that everyone worships. And you’re just going to go along. Regardless whether or not it is actually true. And questioning that is somehow a bad idea. Is that about right?

@son_of_hiskingdom5092 By the way, even if “all of existence” worshipped, which we already know can’t be true”… But even if that we’re true, it wouldn’t demonstrate any gods actually exist. More importantly, we know existence exists. But calling it a creation isn’t valid until you can actually demonstrate a “creator”. Having a presupposition is circular.
