Dude, we're all on the same coin in one way or another.
But look..
You're not making claims.
I'm not making claims.
The only ones making claims here are the religious.
In context to what you say, no one knows if there is a God anymore than no one knows if there are Fairies at the bottom of the...
Nothing to do with cutting the verse short. Actually cutting it short might mitigate the despicable acts God commits, although not really.
He (Adam) couldn't possibly have come into knowledge by being disobedient. He had no knowledge. No knowledge of what it was to be obedient/disobedient.
He...
I'm not the one making bold claims. I'm the one responding to bold claims like "God is omnipotent. God created everything".
I suppose my beef if I have one must be with the screaming lack of moral and ethical standards inherent in such claims.
In light of your query it's interesting you didn't...
You must get some sort of perverse or depraved comfort from believing such sanctimonious nonsense. However it doesn't excuse the lack of moral standards you seem to be happy dodging around with made up superstitious childlike fairy tales.
You are vindicating an imaginary super being from the...
Those who get murdered don't seem to generally have any free will in the matter, do they?
People born with crippling disabling diseases don't have any free will not to be born like that. Where's their free will?
So you're saying because there's no free will in being born that way, no one...
.. type of thing an 11 year old would say.
To have studied theodicy is to have studied how to excuse the inexcusable. It's not an edifying exercise.
To believe in a God that created everything including evil, is to believe in a monster. To then try and excuse it, is itself monstrous, an...
Turns out it's only the "word of God" when a priest a preacher or a prophet says so.
You have to also remember Bible Jesus acted like a total dick in quite a few parts of the Apocrypha, no surprise why religious folk would want to dodge around that.
A lot of it apparently was too bat shit...
Well those are Jesus the passive words which you appear to be listening to
though ironically, you don't seem to listen to Jesus the aggressive words which immediately follow..
"Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town."

Misunderstand the point?
That an imaginary but supposed loving God wants those who won't agree with It to be killed ? Is that the point?
Or that it is a good idea to hit a child when it isn't doing what you want. Is that the point?
Or rather than consider you might be part of the problem ...
What Christ Said...
-----He said But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. (Luke 19)
Bible Christ displayed a repeated vindictiveness and anger against those who would not do what he wanted. Such indignation reflects a serious...
The Bible: Lesson #3
The Trinity.
There is only one God, which is 3 Gods, which are all the same, except the're all different, but they're not, 'cause there is only one.
If it isn't ridiculous, it isn't religion.
Pearl Harbor would be a very bad example.
On November 7, 1937 the Los Angeles Examiner published a prescient map predicting how Imperial Japan could attack the United States during World War II.
Created by Howard A. Burke, the map imagined a Japanese attack on the US that closely predicted the...
Nope. I'm saying that for something to absolutely exist, as Peterson claims dragons do, then they must obviously exist.
Step by step then...
Peterson states that dragons (in non metaphorical terms btw) absolutely exist.
Nevertheless by definition, for something to absolutely exist, it must...
