By Kevin Parry I am not an expert on the Bible, but there are some things in that book that I find incredibly disconcerting, especially when it comes to God’s moral conduct. It is often said that a leader who is worthy of respect is a leader who sets an example. When I read through the pages of the Bible, I become more convinced that if the God of the Bible exists, he is the type of leader I will not follow, simply because he sets an example that at times I find morally objectionable. I’ve written this post in the realisation that I could be mistaken, that it is possible that I’ve missed something. If so, please let me know where I’ve gone wrong. One of the arguments for the truth of Christianity, put forward by various apologists, including CS Lewis, is that all humans are endowed with a moral sense of right and wrong. Due to the fact that this objective, moral sense exists, there must be a Moral Law Giver (i.e., God). For arguments sake, let’s accept that this divine moral sense exis...

Miracles you supposes irrational can be explored in the area of science.
To be sure, the science I mentions is remote of the naturalstic science.
The Bible clearly proclaims that God is the cause of miracles done in history. The principles of causation is applied to miracles.
The miracle of turning water into wine in the book of John is recorded not to make you only fun, but to make you know who Jesus is.
If you turn back on the secular mind contaminated by naturaslim and assum God as the casue of miracels, you will have no problem with miracles.
If you deny the existnece of God, you will continue to pursue only fun in your entire life. Keep in mind that you are created to seek more than fun you stress on.
And he's right. The Buybull is a sorry piece of bronze-age sh!t.
Yes. Yes it has.
Thanks for posting this.
That was funny though. Thanks for sharing. :)
OK so I have a weird side to myself. Actually, Veggie Tales got on my nerves! However, if they were a normal kids' show, they might not be too bad.
"Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream,
Unto salvation, unto salvation.
Delusional, though living, still, the dream,
Justification, Justification.
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the average troll!

Thought not.
Thanks for this point you made though, "if you turn your back on the secular mind contaminated by naturalism (not naturaslim, the diet supplement) and assume God as the cause of miracles, you will have no problem with miracles."
Turn your brain off and just believe, then it all makes sense, right? Thanks for being honest about that.
Bhagavad Gita
Let's see, naturalism is defined as - "behavior or thought conforming to the state of nature." I would take that to mean empirically observable reality. I would definitely rather have my mind contaminated by reality as opposed to whatever your bizarre dogma may be. You don't have the slightest idea if any of us were baptized, into what faith, or if we even consider baptism meaningful. Choose your words carefully, they will betray intelligence or ignorance. The only thing that would make me believe in miracles now is if all these nasty trolls would disappear.
Why, then, should I assume a god, for whom there is about as much evidence as there is for the aforementioned goats?
eungchan, you are completely off your trolley and should begin taking the medication again.
