Why must you insist of saying that God is such a great entity?

I think he is just quoting Bible verses he finds that sounds like ones in the Koran and imagines he can persuade Christians to fall in line with that type of thinking, in other words, he is not promoting Christianity but luring them into his own cult.
. . . there is no need for ad hominem, libelous attacks . . .
. . . appreciation is the key to happiness now . . .

By living in appreciation you ARE loving God because God is ALL that exist.
1. That there is a supreme entity, God, that exists and does nothing to aid in your troubles? The exact opposite of omnibenevolence.
OR
2. That the universe (according to it's true meaning) is a completely natural concept, devoid of a God, and is indifferent to our existence -- it's not intentionally damning us in anyway.

3. That the universe (according to it's true meaning) is a completely natural concept, devoid of an entity: "The Creator", so is morally neutral though there is a mixture of good and bad, depending on who you are and your perspective. While the universe is that way, the now nowhere-to-be-seen (as a distinct entity) Creator was morally positive by making sure there was a god in the universe.

What is that paradox, the irresistible force vs the immovable object?
Interesting. Though logically wouldn't this mean then that this Creator could be nothing more than omnipotent?
What is that paradox, the irresistible force vs the immovable object?
In this case, the immovable object is just that and has the irresistible force the thing that caused the object to be immovable, and so had to cease to exist (meaning the irresistible force was no longer irresistible), except the reality is the complete opposite, where the object was immovable then got set in motion by the irresistible force, but once set in motion, is now unstoppable.edit on 23-1-2012 by jmdewey60 because: (no reason given)
