An omnipotent being, by definition, has no needs. No lack, no compulsion.
So a god who creates lesser beings to serve him, tests them, demands worship, and threatens punishment for disobedience is not acting out of omnipotence. He’s acting out of insecurity, control, and hunger.

This is not the behavior of the true Creator. It’s the behavior of a parasitic impostor masquerading as divine. You are walking into a trap by worshiping this tyrant. I know you won't care about what I have to say and after reading this thread you will just double, triple down. I don't care.

It seems that you're able to distinguish what is and what is not God, but yet you try to attack God, knowing he is not what you think other people think He is.

Yeah, atheists really can't reason.

>>17863646
I'm not an atheist. I think Yahweh is an evil tyrant, and not actually God at all. You are so retarded and intellectually dull you think people who oppose God are atheists.

>>17863653
>people who oppose God
*"God"

Imagine thinking God needs a psychologist. Lmao. God is perfect, he has no need for anything yet has created us and allows us to experience life and is giving us an opportunity at perfection with him if only we trust him and do what he says.

Those who do experience him. They have dreams and visions and the spirit lives with them. Even though they suffer they don't care because they know a new age is coming. They have been allowed to see marvelous things in visions and have been allowed to feel incredible feelings though the spirit. They believe in the promise and know nothing can separate them from God. Do they cling to rigtheousness and try to do good every day to please God because they understand God is awesome and they love him.

If you repent of your evil ways he will forgive you and give you the spirit. It doesn't matter how much you have suffered, his healing is magical. He can give you peace and joy in this age and in th coming one.

An evil tyrant woudlnt demand goodness from his followers. Those who are rigtheous receive blessings from him. He once allowed me to ascend in spirit and see wonders in heaven. I saw a living fountain of water and the white hair of he who sits in the throne. An experience I will never forget. He is good to me and I love him despite my suffering. I trust him and do what he says because I rely on his wisdo.

If you loved God you would experience it too. He once graced me with his spirit and what I felt was wonderful, such euphoria I cannot describe. I cannot imagine how awesome will it be to permanently have the spirit if a split second of it felt already so awesome to me. So I'm with God until the end.

I swear to you that what God has prepared for the rigtheous is extremely wonderful and amazing and you will cry tears of blood if you ever miss out on it.

God is truly worth it, seek him while you can and stop wasting your time being angry at him. It will lead you nowhere good. He's your only hope at true and everlasting happiness. And what he is asking in return isn't even that hard. It's bargain really.

doesn't sound sincere enough for me, I'm going to add a bit more wood to the fire

>need
Nobody proposed any need.
>servitude and worship imply a lack
Non sequitur.

This is where it would normally end, because discovering a logical leap or fallacy is sufficient to dismiss an argument. But you don't feel like it was dismissed. You feel like it was treated unfairly because there is something making you really confident in it. Isn't there? You feel in your bones that if God requires devotion, it must be a hack. The real God would just shower you with candy or just leave you be. In other words, the OP argument is driven by convenience.

you are expecting jewish pilpul to actually make sense? lmfao

>>17863599 (OP)
You just have a fucked up misotheistic imagination of some god that isn't Jesus

>>17863599 (OP)
Deism is the only correct stance on religion, but you all aren't ready for that conversation.

>>17864102
Deism can scarcely be categorized as religion lmao

>>17864102
I am literally a deist though.

>>17864102
I am. Prove it.

>>17864036
Jesus' message was obey him as god and give peter all your money or you don't deserve eternal life

Some reject traditional depictions altogether, proposing more abstract or impersonal conceptions of the divine.

He's attacking his perception the demi-urge

I serve God because I love him. He is my creator, my father and my support.
I never ever needed of hell fear in order to believe, I myself was born and raised on an agnostic liberal secular family, and I myself approached to God. I am not perfect, but I think you are really twisted if you think Christians follow God just because of fear. God is an entity of justice, love and perfection. And that's kinda interesting for millions of persons.

dunno, if I could do anything and I had eternity and infinite space to work in the first thing I would think of is "i need more cheerleaders"

not soundin sincere enough
