Either
1. He’s evil himself
or
2. He’s not omnipotent

None of the above.

@GodSpeed63 True.
It’s more likely that he’s not even real in the first place!

He is real, more than you or I could ever be. He's good, He's kind and loves us beyond our comprehension.

@GodSpeed63 Prove that he’s real.

Yahweh has already proven Himself to mankind. Now you need to prove that He doesn't live.

Already done to the standard of proof you set for proving your claims.

I doubt that. All your so called 'gods' are created, my God was never created. That's the difference.

@GodSpeed63 You don’t even know what you believe in, you old moron.

Prove it. Unless you can, your god is just a figment of your imagination.

@Sharon [quote]Prove it.[/quote]

He already did, now prove He didn't.
Sharon · F
@GodSpeed63 [quote]He already did,[/quote]
Where?

[quote]now prove He didn't.[/quote]
Already done to the same standard you set for proving your claims. Still waiting for to to prove The Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn't live. When you do that we can go on to that thing you call yahweh.

You know where, we've been through this before.

[quote]Already done[/quote]

Not buying it.

@GodSpeed63 [quote]You know where, we've been through this before. [/quote]
You've never been able to show where. Prove me wrong by telling me now if you can.

[quote]Not buying it.[/quote]
So you don't even accept your own standard of proof. Hypocrite!

@Sharon [quote]You've never been able to show where.[/quote]

You're stalling again as usual.

[quote]So you don't even accept your own standard of proof. Hypocrite![/quote]

Quit talking to yourself, people will think you're out of your mind.
Sharon · F
@GodSpeed63 [quote]You're stalling again as usual.[/quote]

You have yet to disprove The Flying Spaghetti Monster. Once you've done that, then, and only then, we'll deal with your Yahweh thing.

[quote]Quit talking to yourself, people will think you're out of your mind.[/quote]
I've already proven your Yahweh thing isn't real to the [b]standard of proof that you use yourself.[/b] Now you're saying it's not good enough when I prove your Yahweh thing isn't real [b]to that same standard[/b]. That makes you a hypocrite!
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@Sharon [quote]You have yet to disprove The Flying Spaghetti Monster. [/quote]

That only tells me that you have no evidence to disprove that Yahweh lives.

[quote]I've already proven your Yahweh thing isn't real[/quote]

That's your 'yahweh thing' you're talking about. I don't have a 'yahweh thing.' My God is the one true living God whose name is Yahweh.

@GodSpeed63 [quote]That only tells me that you have no evidence to disprove that Yahweh lives. [/quote]
As you know, I have at least as much evidence proving your yahweh thing doesn't exist as you do that The Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn't. If you want me to prove it to a higher standard, show what standard of proof your would accept by proving the FSM doesn't live [b]to that same standard[/b]. Applying double standards, as you're so fond of doing, just proves you're a hypocrite.

[quote]I don't have a 'yahweh thing.'[/quote]
Don't play dumb, some people might not know you're playing. You know very well what I'm referring to with that term. I'm merely treating your made up god with the same (lack of) respect you treat others'.

You're confused as usual.
Sharon · F
@GodSpeed63 [quote]You're confused as usual.[/quote]
I doubt that. We can easily check though. Show what standard of proof your would accept by proving, [b]to that standard[/b], that the Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn't live. I will then attempt to prove your yahweh thing (or whatever you like to call it) doesn't exist [b]to that same standard of proof[/b].

I've made that offer before but you've run away from it. Don't chicken out again, people will think you're running scared.

@Sharon [quote]I doubt that.[/quote]

When you get unconfused, let me know. maybe we'll have a decent conversation for a change. Until then, I'm going to pray for you.

@GodSpeed63 Sharon is one of the least confused people on this site. Go ahead, state your proof about the FSM.

@redredred [quote]Sharon is one of the least confused people on this site.[/quote]

You can't tell that by her posts.
Sharon · F
@redredred It's probably his age. You can tell how confused he is by the way he keeps banging on about his yahweh thing but then denies knowing anything about it.

Another example is that I easily met the standard of proof he set to prove his yahweh thing wasn't real. He must have forgotten he set the standard because he then claimed it wasn't proof.

He's quite a sad case really. I almost feel sorry for him but he's his own worst enemy.
redredred · M
@GodSpeed63 I can because, unlike you, I deal in logic
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@redredred [quote] I deal in logic[/quote]

I doubt that. Yahweh is the Author of logic. Your 'logic' is guessing. Yahweh doesn't have to guess, He knows.
