It was sufficient to show that a true deity can't achieve "feelings" while a "mortal-turned-deity" can.

if you don't like that he died from your sins you have nothing to worry about

his death won't forgive your sins because you never believed and were baptised

grace is essentially a gift

if you reject a gift, you don't own it

think about it like this

I buy you a gift card to target

you say "I don't need that" and when I hand it to you, you slap it away and storm off

is it yours? nope

either it will stay on the ground and another receive it or I will just take it myself and use it

No thanks

I step to the side to reveal a fully mowed lawn behind me

Yeah, well about that. I did it anyway.

Extends hand for payment

Pretty much sums up Jesus.

It's a complex and nuanced theology. There's a lot more to the entire thing than Jesus dying on the cross. The scope of the entire narrative is quite large and involved.

It's quite an interesting story and theme, but seeing it in its fullness requires some deep reading of the entire Bible which isn't an easy feat for most people.


I've read the entire bible, front to back

Sure I thought was interesting when I was a kid, but then I grew up and realized it was full of fallacies, nonsense (omnipotent/Omniscient being cannot have feelings like happiness and sadness, and cannot be surprised by anything or angered by anything, logically speaking) , and had more plot holes than any other medium that had ever existed.

It's a fun fairy tale book to read once when you're young and naive, but when you reach that state of adulthood and your naivety drops, you start to realize that it makes absolutely no sense, even if looked at metaphorically rather than literally.

And yet you've mentioned no specific fallacies or plot holes.

Nobody asked me to. I will if you want, they're extremely numerous and easy to find lol. Not even sure why anyone would need to ask me to find them, as if you've read the Bible yourself you'd easily know that it's filled to the brim with the things

In fact the discussion I just had FLUFFY is a prime example of one of said fallacies

You have no idea what "true deity" means though. You're defining it in a way that benefits your view.

Nope, I was simplifying terms to better explain my point. By true deity, I mean a being that is born as a deity, not one that was once a mortal and then later turned into a deity

Pretty sure I explained this pretty clearly a few times in my previous posts. Sounds to me like you're just attempting to use semantics to win an argument you've already lost

How can you possibly know what would be the case in the case of a "true" deity that was "born as a deity?" How do you even know what any of that means? Have you ever met a true deity? Why does it matter whether or not one became a deity or was born a deity?

And if becoming a deity rather than being born a deity means you can experience feelings/emotions/desires, then that still proves that being a deity doesn't determine whether or not you can experience feelings/emotions/desires.

Because if we are going by logic, it's only possible for a deity to have feelings, if he weren't always a deity. Do you not know how basic psychology works? I do, that's how I know

And if becoming a deity rather than being born a deity means you can experience feelings/emotions/desires, then that still proves that being a deity doesn't determine whether or not you can experience feelings/emotions/desires.

Uh, no. That only determines that a being that becomes a deity has already experienced the things you've listed, and therefore is capable of feeling things based on said experiences. A deity that has always been an all knowing deity cannot experience anything because it already knows everything. It would be more akin to a production line machine than anything else

Jesus was virtue signaling. I don't see how he has so many fans who hate virtue signaling.

but he was also Jewish, and many of his fans hate Jews.

and he was a person of color, but many of his fans hate people of color...

he seemed like a socialist, had a physical trade in carpentry, was born out of wedlock, been evading the authorities since birth, hung out with street people, was proud of his identity even though people wanted him to STFU about it... yeah, Jesus wouldn't be winning any elections.

But if I programmed a character to behave a certain way, then how can I get mad at him for not behaving a different way? And if I program my characters with free will and offer no proof that I exist, I don't believe I could punish them for not believing I am watching over them.


But you're assuming people are programmed by a deity and then punished for what they are programmed to do. I'm not sure any main religion teaches this.

Christianity does. We are told God is omniscient and omnipotent. If that's the case, then he knows all the choices we will make and he still punishes us if we make the wrong ones. That seems extremely cruel, which is not perfectly good. I know most branches do not teach predestination, including the Catholicism I was raised in, but that is basically what they're telling people.

So either God knows everything and we are puppets he arbitrarily decides to punish, or he is little more than an inventor who turned on his machine and punishes us for not coming to the conclusion (with 0 evidence) that he did so. Or he doesn't exist and these main religions are no more valid than the lesser or dead ones they condemn.

many doesn't work when the majority of Christians are brown, a large segment of the minority (white Christians) don't have issues with brown people

you are stereotyping literally millions of people on a very very very tiny segment

Because those are the definitions set out to qualify a being as a deity and/or a creator.


Basically this

Also a basic understanding of psychology

no, those are the definitions you chose. you've defined being a deity as meaning not having wants or emotions

Because feelings cannot congregate without experiences, and an Omniscient/omnipotent being is incapable of experiencing anything

It's really, really easy to understand

Unless you're going to explain to me how one could feel things without experiencing anything at all, in which case I'd love to hear it lol

Christian God is Lawful Evil confirmed.

Also in many ways polytheism makes more sense because they are essentially making a human, then making them all powerful in one trait similar to superheroes. It isn't as self defeating. Not that I care for polytheistic systems of belief.

"Died for your sins" isn't meant to be literal. It allows people who want to be forgiven for their sins to have that forgiveness.

Then why have him die to begin with?

Also why did he have to come up with some weird loophole in order to accomplish this? If he was all powerful he wouldn't have needed to go through such measures to allow people to have their sins forgiven. It makes no sense

Jesus dying for your sin is like someone buying you a drink at the bar. You didnt ask for it, but now that it's been bought, you gotta sleep with them.

Otherwise you're just being a tease and an arsehole

Nobody should have to sleep with anybody just because they bought you a drink
