Evil is a symbolism. What evil for one is good for the other. So if God created evil then isn't him evil himself? We are going through sophisms here...no need.
Chastity makes for clear thinking, but the virtue of chastity (of abstaining from sex outside of marriage and only employing it for the purpose of forming a family) is only achieved and maintained by much prayer to Jesus Christ.
any imaginary friend would do really. from any religion.
I appreciate your sincerity. I have many friends whom I love and cherish, who think like you. I shall pray for you and for them.
saying you will pray for me is condenscending. It means you feel like you have moral superiority. Dude, if he exists, killed more people than any other human being both by allowing it and directly as the bible sais.
I don't think you are allowed to speak about Hitler here when your God acted much like him.
Where have I cited God as an authority in the reasons I've proposed? This conversation has more to do with "toilet training" than about high Theology.
Are you trying to suppress my freedom of speech? Why can't I make reference to Hitler, or anyone else? Are you going to throw me in jail?
Oh, I'm condescending? If you lower yourself to the level of equating human life to the pleasure of a one night stand, then you have implicitly passed a judgement on the value of your own human life. Dear sir, I think much more of you than you do. I'm sorry that it is condescending for me to lower myself to what you are making of yourself, but my excuse is that I'm doing it only to raise you up.
About the problem of evil, that is, of an infinitely good and all powerful God creating a world full of evil, and how this apparently makes God either a collaborator in evil (hence not good) or not all powerful... that's old hat for me. I do eventually plan to address the difficult topic -- even apart from this conversation.
I think it is more urgent to convince you that you are good and have an "infinite" value as a human being, and should not for any reason be aborted or treated as no better than a one-night stand. I believe that! How can I make you believe it?
Love, and goodnight, sir.
Because it is irrelevant and by being intellectually dishonest you are trying to shower the audience with sensationalism it is a cheap political move.
You can't. This is why people are fleeting the churches by the thousands. There is no "evil" and if there is your god plant it there so he can have some fun. If h didn't and just allows it to exist then he is prick that enjoys watching his subjects suffer much like a child enjoys burning ants with their magnifying glass. either way. you are wrong.
Too many words. little to no meaning.
You are deliberately putting human lives in danger by encouraging the abuse of sex. You are irresponsibly prancing by the precipice of mass murder. You stand accused. I think the meaning is clear.
Your are morally responsible to retract your bad advise.
Sincerely, Apollonius
it's called freedom of speech. I am not advocating for fucking anything and whatever it moves. I wrote an article in which I make a question and then make my arguments.
You don't even argue against my position. You just attack my person.
It's called ad hominem + strawman
