You’re welcome, D-fendr!
What’s the stereotype in seeing, say, for example, the failure of morality when David’s child is killed for only being born a bastard? Killed by the same entity that supposedly created it - why create it in the first place? So that it could suffer for another’s fault? Where’s this “perfect” justice? How many more ways can anyone interpret this? How many other ways can this killing be justified? What are your views on this? Why was an innocent life taken away after it was made to suffer for a whole week? What did the suffering trade for? Why are your scriptures deathly silent on this serious contradiction? Why is this not addressed at all?
If this understanding is in your eyes, “a limited scope”, feel free to expand it.
It would be meaningless for you to know my background - assume that I was a Protestant, and proceed. How will your arguments change?
As I said earlier, the “reasons” you’re giving with regard to “the lack of a theological framework” are merely excuses that are being placed to prevent yourself from seeing the flaw in your beliefs - of using Deism to justify superstition. I’m driving a wedge between the two, so that they may be separated and examined.
It matters next to nothing if priests and others are also physicists. Many Muslims and others are, too. In fact, a huge number of them have a deep interest in quantum physics - and they see what they learn as reinforcing their faith in their god. You’ll be amazingly suprised how multi-polar the human mind can be - how self-contradicting it can be.
Do you think all religion is superstition?
What would you say are your religious beliefs?
Literalism. Applying modern standards to ancient cultures and writers, anachronistic or lack of context. Not seeing the similarities in the questions that all human's face.
Killed by the same entity that supposedly created it - why create it in the first place?
Is there any point to anything in creation? Is there any justice inherent in the universe or is it all completely capricious? Does the evil we do inexorably harm our children?…
Why was an innocent life taken away after it was made to suffer for a whole week?
Why do innocents suffer? And what, then, is the value of being innocent?
Why are your scriptures deathly silent on this serious contradiction?
Are they? All of them?
