Description

Let's assume that the Christian God and all the stories written about him were true. I am saying, based on the events occurred, he can be judged guilty of our crimes we have set for humans. This is a fair trial set in the US with jury and judge. Also assume that the idea that God is omniscient, omnibenevolent and omnipotent are all up to question and debatable. We are only judging the events themselves, not the claims made about God's sinless nature.

I am saying it is justified to judge him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and attempt to punish (or set limits) according to law.

You're right. At least half of his R2 is taken verbatim from that link.

Anyway I don't care. We must learn to lose in order to relish as we win.

I'll link you to each section what he plagiarised. Those two URLs are the first two.

Oops, you're right. I'd forgotten the exact definition of an FF.

His entire argument is copy paste. He committed full on plagiarism.

It is the height of human arrogance to ignore all the atrocities we have committed against one another, even in the last century, and then attempt to put God on trial for being unjust.

If God is real (and He is), and if the stories in the Bible are true (and they are), then it is He who is the Lawmaker, the Prosecutor, the Judge, and the Executioner. When humans decide to make their own laws, we get slavery and genocide. And why not? More evolved humans should eliminate less evolved ones to advance the species, right?

You would be wise to look at your own heart before you accuse God of wrongdoing and presume to act as judge over Him.

was this deliberate or just a waste of a good debate?
