Who believes in God? - Lets Beef

**FAME** · #1 03-07-2013, 11:41 PM

Well, I'm speaking to those who believe in the idea of God as an all mighty being.

A being that is supposed to look over us for the greater good.

Now, If God was all mighty, wouldn't he then be able to create a being more powerful than himself?

If he couldn't, then he would not be all mighty.

Wouldn't he then cease to be God?

If he could, but chose not to, even though a more powerful being would help towards 'the greater good,' just for him to remain as the all mighty being, that would be considered selfish.

Selfishness is a sin and if God committed this, wouldn't he then cease to be God?

Either way, the notion of God being an all mighty being should be discredited.

The bible mentions multiple times that God is a selfish God

Then the bible contradicts itself and should immediately be discredited.

All of the sins are sourced by selfishness.

Now, if God made us in his image, and he truly is a selfish God, as you say:

Why would he punish those that commit the sins sourced from selfishness by sending them to hell if they were in his image?

Surely, he would then go to hell himself and cease to be God?

God made everyone with free will, if we decide to advance into something more serious then selfishness it's our own fault....but through Jesus that sin can be forgiven, stopping us from going to hell.

Jesus doesn't exist either.

I'm guessing that's a line from The Simpsons episode you're referring to?

It's now 5AM and I should probably get some sleep LOL.

I'll gladly come back to this tomorrow though.
