His god is definitely one of pain and torture.

[Maeght]

His god is definitely one of pain and torture.

But has no ability to prevent that.

[Walt Zingmatilder]

But has no ability to prevent that.

Then we are entitled to ask why call it a god or worship it?
I take it that you think death and pain inevitably occur in nature.

Of course I do. And yes you are entitled to ask him that.

Oaths should be scrapped altogether, and everyone required to affirm.

Of course you are. Fill your boots.

Agree

[Walt Zingmatilder]

Of course you are. Fill your boots.

I mean in the sense it has now power or control over what happens . If you can worship that is dubious to call it a god is not to understand the concept.

Do you mean homeostasis? That would make your central heating system a god wouldn't it?

[Walt Zingmatilder]

Only as the necessary entity at the end of contingent hierarchies.

Whats to understand. People make gods.

[Nearly Sane]

Well, your contradiction means that

[Walt Zingmatilder]

Positive assertion. Feel free to justify.

[Walt Zingmatilder]

Well, your contradiction means that

Anyone.

[splashscuba]

Positive assertion. Feel free to justify.

Yep. Nah I'm good.

[jeremyp]

Only as the necessary entity at the end of contingent hierarchies.

I asked for a demonstration that God has power and control over events, not that God exists*.

* Not that you ever demonstrated that either.
