[[The sane parent doesn’t make the danger that they are warning their child about. They don’t say, “Stay away from that fire or I will burn you.” They say, “Stay away from that fire because it burns]

No sir- the responsible person says that a hell was created ror the evil one, and that if YOU choose to follow the evil one by denying God, then you will share in his just punishmenets- A parent warnign a child about not hanging out with murderers and drug pushers does so tellign the child that if htey so choose to then they will share in the negatives that are associated with such a lifestyle- Suppose the child becomes affected weith aids from a dirty needle, or ends up in prison? Did the Parent “Make that child suffer”? Of course not- the parent did EVERYTHING possible short of FORCING that child to stop hanging with hte wrong crowd- but hte child REFUSED sound council

Again- you seem to be of them ind set that nothign is YOUR fault- you refuse to take responsibility for YOUR own actions, and wishj to lay the blame on God when he has done EVERYTHING possible short of FORCING you to accept His word.

[[The god you believe in (such a deity doesn’t deserve the dignity of capitalization)]]

Tell Him that when You meet Him face to face and try to shovel the blame off on Him when it will have been your own choice to refuse Him. There won’t be ANY excuses available to you then sir- you wqill HAVE to own up to your own actions at that point- complaining about it here on earth, and maligning and insulting Him and htose hwo follow Him in public forums won’t dimish your OWN accountability.

[[However, the universe demonstrates that the god you worship is not the Creator. The universe is not binary, yes/no, 0/1, hot/cold. It has ranges. Water can freeze, be cold, be luke warm, be hot, be anything in-between. A parent can punish a small child by spanking, putting in time-out, sending then to their room, shaking their head and saying “I am so disappointed,” not punishing at all, or many other possible responses.]

Lol- your whole argument against hte existence of God is based on your opinion that God must be and act in 1 0 parameters?

[[you are further away from the Eternal Disneyworld than I am. And even if I don’t quite make it there, there’s always Universal Studios]]

You think so huh? Good for you.

Where did I deny God? I said that God, as understand Him, is a lot more complex, intelligent, and creative that whatever the hell it is you worship.

Again- you seem to be of them ind set that nothign is YOUR fault- you refuse to take responsibility for YOUR own actions, and wishj to lay the blame on God when he has done EVERYTHING possible short of FORCING you to accept His word.

On the contrary. I take responsibility for my actions and I intend to answer to God for them. I accept that.

Tell Him that when You meet Him face to face and try to shovel the blame off on Him when it will have been your own choice to refuse Him. There won’t be ANY excuses available to you then sir- you wqill HAVE to own up to your own actions at that point- complaining about it here on earth, and maligning and insulting Him and htose hwo follow Him in public forums won’t dimish your OWN accountability.

On the contrary. I may insult those who think they follow God. However, I do not, unlike you, malign or defame God as a simplistic creature, but see Him as a being of such complexity that I can only begin to comprehend Him and His plans.

Lol- your whole argument against hte existence of God is based on your opinion that God must be and act in 1 0 parameters?

Incorrect. I argue that God exists and acts in much more than 1/0 parameters. The fact that your "god" acts in 1/0 parameters indicates that what you worship is not God. What you appear to worship some stick figure that, for all I know, was created by the adversary as a stumbling block for self-certain fools like you.

And if I am wrong, I can accept being wrong -- for all eternity if need be. If you're wrong, can you accept it?

Let me make one more thing clear: I believe God exists. If you write again that I deny God exists, you are a liar.
