God = Dictator
-
Runs the world like he owns it doesn't he? Does he have absolute power? Yep. Did we elect him to be our god? Nope. So what do we call that? We call it a dictatorship. Much like Saddam Hussein

maybe he is a clone............just maybe........Originally posted by Chin Eng:you sure he's a noob? and not a clone? -
Clever use of logic, TS! Really clever!
So, by right, I can use your logic to say you're an atheist bigot with the intention to blow up the White House, because the US has "In God We Trust" in their anthem and thus they're not a democracy because they trust in a dictator and ought to be blown up?
Really...teenagers are getting weirder and weirder
Hey! I resent that!

Free will? I don't think so. Not when he has absolute power and has control over our destiny.Originally posted by the Bear:strange... you seem to be able to write these things without a lightning bolt up your ass

dictator? i don't think so...
what do you think? -
Not very clever, SturmDerSchatten. Another one of those screwed up logic of christians. Nobody said dictators ought to be blown up. Besides, we should always try to resolve differences through dialogue. Why is your thinking so violent? I hope you didn't get that from being a christianOriginally posted by SturmDerSchatten:Clever use of logic, TS! Really clever!

how can something that only exists in people's minds control anything? believe if you want to believe.Originally posted by zxc22099:Free will? I don't think so. Not when he has absolute power and has control over our destiny. -

Destiny is determined by three things:

1. Yourself
2. Others
3. Luck
Others:
You parents whether they are rich or poor will influence the kind of lifestyle you will lead when you are born. People who help or hinder your progress based on their own personal agenda.
Yourself:
You make decisions on the kind of friends you want to have, to work hard and achieve success etc...
Luck:
This refers to random events in your life.
Even when you have made all the right decisions - illness can strike, natural disasters, accidents can happen that leave you unable to proceed.
Even when you have made all the wrong decisions - someone can appear and guide you on the right path or you can have a winfall somewhere.
Whether you achieve material success depends on these three things... God is not involved.
However once you pledge loyalty to God, one thing will change.
Yourself:
You make decisions based on the values set by God in the bible. This may seem insignificant, but the wisdom of God will guide your path and turn misfortune into blessings. Perhaps not material wealth or fame, but a good character that will place you in high standing in the Kingdom of heaven. -

b. He has absolute power.
c. You can choose not to follow.

Why don't you resolve your differences with God through dialogue then?Originally posted by zxc22099:Not very clever, SturmDerSchatten. Another one of those screwed up logic of christians.

I asked my christian friends, "when you talk to god, does he talk back to you"?The answer was a unanimous no. Then there is no dialogue. Did he talk back to you? If he did, I recommend that you check out some psychiatristsOriginally posted by SingaporeMacross:Why don't you resolve your differences with God through dialogue then? -
Then I think many pastors from charismatic churches need to check out the doc thenOriginally posted by zxc22099:I asked my christian friends, "when you talk to god, does he talk back to you"?The answer was a unanimous no.

For me, God indeed leads u in other ways. Not in a booming voice. But u know it is his plan for u. -
I couldn't agree more. Some things only exist in the minds of people who want to believeOriginally posted by skid:how can something that only exists in people's minds control anything? believe if you want to believe. -
You can bring this conversation to the Aethist forum.Originally posted by zxc22099:I couldn't agree more. Some things only exist in the minds of people who want to believe -
true.... the reverse is also true.....Originally posted by zxc22099:I couldn't agree more. Some things only exist in the minds of people who want to believe
"a fool says in his heart there is no God" Psalms 14:1
as herzog (who is not a Christian) said.... bring it to the atheist forum -
We will elect our god perhaps?Originally posted by zxc22099:Runs the world like he owns it doesn't he? Does he have absolute power? Yep. Did we elect him to be our god? Nope. So what do we call that? We call it a dictatorship. Much like Saddam Hussein
Do away with the old one? -
It's called "Reductio ad Absurdum". Since you did that in your first post, I don't see why I can't do it in an example.Originally posted by zxc22099:Not very clever, SturmDerSchatten. Another one of those screwed up logic of christians. Nobody said dictators ought to be blown up. Besides, we should always try to resolve differences through dialogue.

Fine, then let's take another example. Did we elect our parents to be ours? Don't they also try to run our lives, particularly when we were young? What do you call that then?
Besides, my thinking isn't violent, I was just raising an example. Your judgment is marred by the fact that you already are taking an aggressive stance by asserting that God is a supposedly bloodthirsty and cruel dictator by comparing him with Saddam Hussein.
