Wilgrea7 is one of the few theists that make sense in almost every post

I find his arguments more convincing cuz he doesn't make assertions with nothing to back them up

I've always studied his posts since the day he opened a thread on hell fire
same can't be said of MrPresident1 and KingEbukasBlog. Those guys mehn grin grin
Re: Theism And The Pettiness Of God by Jackossky(m): 11:08am On May 14, 2017
I really don't know much about the altercation of God existence or not,but I believe in him ...

Now let's cogitate rationally....
someone once assert that if God is perfect, then his creations should be infallible.. The thing is, God did not create man to be perfect and he gave man the freewill to do things independently even though he laid down certain rules to be followed as proposed by the Christians

nevertheless, the reason for this is so that he could have someone in his image and myriads of people praising him without him forcing them to do so.....

I don't know if you are getting what I am insinuating,though I believe God to be immaculate but we cant set the ideals for him to fit in... I know that in the study of psychology, there is this argument on what is right and what is wrong...What we perceive to be veracious might be nothing but layers of lies, there are still things left to be uncovered in the future that will explain why certain things are...

It is wrong for us to fathom God into our own prescription, what he should do and what he shouldn't and also I am ad idem to some of your assertions but I believe that there are still many things to be demystified....... Since science can't give a viable explanation for the existence of Man (don't give me that big bang /evolution theory) then we shouldn't discard the idea of the existence of an omnistatus God

Stupid and unrelated to the topic. John has made it clear and he is right. A circle can only be a circle because it has the attributes of a circle, without which it is not a circle. Now what is god? Does your god fit into the defination of GOD? The honest answer is, your God or should I say the theistic God as we know "Him" is rather ridiculous and an insult to what God would really be even based on the extent to whic the human mind can presumably comprehend God. One your God even as the chrater of a "he" lol

The mystery of this universe excites me more than the illusion of knowledge religion uses to wrap this mystery..


god wears clothes,speaks hebrew/arabic,has favourite people(but is still termed a fair being),loves specific type of foods,praises,fabrics,hates foreskins but keeps creating them,hates human nature when its supposedly his handiwork...is omniscient but keeps trying to fix things done wrong and cant say what the generation of the era it is believed in didn't know and yet someone comes to me to tell me i shouldn't raise an eyebrow to any of this?!

You dont even know that if i decide to move from base 10 to maybe base 2, 360 degrees is no longer 360 degrees and that changes what a "circle" is.
Educate yourself.

Now what is god?
The topic that drives u mad always

Lol. You mean your inconsequential mathematical statement? John made a point and there is no need pretending you didn't understand him. A circle is a circle, because it fits the defination of a circle. Scrutinize what you presume to be God by the definations and parameters of God and you realize your god, the god christians, muslims and other known religions actually fall short of what God should be. Read davian's post up there maybe it would help your poor comprehension

it's obvious u didn't do maths in school. Stop arguing over petty. How perfect can a circle be if it's total angle is more or less 360 degrees?

Be like say them suppose buy maths set for you again.

The above shows you are absolutely clueless and bereft of ideas about the creation and Creator of the universe. Hence you have decided in your deluded mind to ramble and vituperate in quick sands.

With regards to the question, why is an 'omnipotent and omniscient God' interested in a minuscule entity called man.....here's the answer : the 'man' is created in the image of the omnipotent and omniscient God. Man is His vicegerent on earth, more reason why man holds dominion over all including powerful beasts like lion, elephant, Leviathans, whales, boars, crocodiles etc. More reasons why man explore the cosmos infinitely and all creations stood in awe of man. All this come from the fact that man is imbued with God-like energies.

These facts cannot be gleaned by mind-controlled beings like you....there are far superior knowledge beyond the carnal man.

Be enlightened!....open your eyes to eternal verities.

Selah!

Aaaaand who are the viceregents on all the other planets and heavenly bodies?

One of the things I have taken from the OP's post is how we humans, through religion, elevate ourselves to a level we are not even sure of. We think the sun, planets and all other heavenly bodies were created just for our benefit. That's a pleasing thought, but it's also kind of arrogant. We haven't explored every planet or star in existence to be sure that we are the only ones alive in all of God's creation. If God created just us, I struggle to see a need for creating all the other planets and heavenly bodies. He's God - he could have just said "alright, here's a sun to give you light and heat and here's a moon to reflect the sun's light and provide light at night. No need for all these others since nobody's going to live there and man won't get to most of them anyway". I think we sometimes use religion to elevate pur place in the grand scheme of things because, on some level, we realize that we may not be as important in and to creation as we would like.

it's so so sad you keep showing yourself to be a retaard. You keep evading a simple question. what kind of idiot are you?

you talked about number bases? what is the relationship between a 360 degree angle and base 3?

is 360 degree a number in base 3?

I feel pity replying you. Even the chick with me here is laughing at you. What a colossal slowpoke you are.

ansa me.... how can a circle be perfect if it's total angle is not 360?
